The Other Love – On Love from Africa Selections
They make you laugh
Then they hurt or annoy you
They “borrow” and break your things,
But would give you the world in a heartbeat
They defend you ferociously but will correct you when you’re wrong, even from across the globe
There is nothing they won’t do for you but sometimes they want way too much from you
Endless laughter keeps us going, even when it seems the world is against us
Anger between us is only temporary because the love we have for each other is never ending
My home, my heart, my friends, my blood, my family
I love you all way too much

And these are my final thoughts on Love from Africa

We all disagree this we know but letting others think what they want this we don’t seem to be able to do.
We always have to comment wonder how to try convince others of our vision, our religion or to our political party.
Life has brought us all to this exact position so you may never be able to reason with others to bring them to your side.
Use of violence to convince never works not only because you are now allowing yourself to have violence used to have your mind changed but also because all it does is build resentment not true conversion.
Violence will make people agree with you for the moment but real and true discourse will allow you to not only change the mind of that person but their husband, their children, their friends and maybe even others in their communities.
