MIYINGO: Meaning of the Name

MIYINGO Ivan, MPhil, B. Pharm, MPS.




MIYINGO means a heavy log or piece of wood used to securely lock or bar the entrance of a cattle kraal.

Literally, figuratively, and metaphorically.

42 LIFE LESSONS

BY: MIYINGO Ivan, MPhil, B.Pharm, MPS YOU'RE DEAD IN THE YEAR 2089,  Your ancestors survived centuries of floods, slavery, and world wars, thinking of which whoever named it World War One (I) knew there was going to be a second.  They survived the Holocaust, where six million jews were exterminated in gas chambers by Adolf Balikuddembe Hitler.  They survived plagues and pandemics, and in the year 2099, you will be an ancestor who survived the COVID-19 pandemic.  For you to sit on the toilet and scroll through people’s fake lives on Instagram and Snapchat whilst comparing yourself to people you have never met is not only an insult to your ancestors, but a disturbance to the peace of the walking dead as well.  You don’t need more, you need less of what doesn’t really matter. Freedom starts when you stop needing to be liked.  As long as your thoughts and decisions are constantly filtered through by what they will say or think, then you’re in prison, and you ne...

WAR: Iran, Israel, and the United States

SIX BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT

Image
BY: MIYINGO Ivan, MPhil, B. Pharm, MPS THE 6 BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT The story of the blind men and the elephant is a famous philosophical parable about perception and truth.  In the story, several blind men encounter an elephant for the first time, but each touches only one part of the animal.  The man who touches the elephant’s side believes it is a wall because the surface feels broad and solid.  Another touches the trunk and insists it is a snake because it feels long and moving.  One who touches the tusk says it is a spear, while the one holding the leg believes it is a tree because it feels thick and sturdy.  The man touching the tail concludes it is a rope, and the one touching the ear says it is a fan because of its wide and flexible shape. Each man is partially correct, yet completely wrong about the whole elephant. The story teaches that human beings often mistake limited experience or perspective for complete truth.  People see only fragments ...
