The means of survival we device greatly determines what awaits us down the road. I completely agree with Patrice Ngenang, a Cameroonian novelist who in his novel Temps des Chiens or “Dog Days” out rightly says that “Man is a fox for man”. It is cruel and unthinkable that our very survival depends on others. We overcome our daily challenges by consciously and unconsciously tramping and devilishly feeding on others like wayward chacals in a hellish abyss thus confirming the thought that man is the only untamable animal that God ever created. It is undeniable that we need each other to over the challenges come our way but are we complementing each other in our collective efforts or thievishly pouncing on each other because “it is survival of the fittest?” I have read of people and know of people who have blatantly tried to strive beyond the bounds of human achievements, people who have blindly set no limits to their desires, people who have never kept within the bounds of reason but their waterloo has always being the same, their spittle falling back on their very faces.

Pittacus, a Greek writer who lived from 569 – 650 BC once said that “the measure of a man is what he does with all the powers bestowed on him”. The potential that we possess to survive natural and man made challenges are inherent. Also, Erasmus, a Greek philosopher was unarguably right when he once said that “no one respects a talent that is concealed”.

All we need is a moment of reflection, a deep thought, a collective action and the bones of our hands will be longer. It is going to be more than one hand, more than one mouth, more than one head, more than ten fingers, more than one potential and before the dawn of a new day and a new era, humankind will be moving mountains, filling trenches, building bridges, constructing tunnels, uniting to defy self-centeredness, standing in unison to out rightly decry pride and low self esteem, shouldering each other in a one family course, acknowledging our prowess, identifying and transforming our weaknesses into strength, setting the machinery of progress, igniting the system of sustainability and remembering that come what may, our course is justifiable, our intentions crystally clear and our FAITH steadfast and unshakable.
