The Issue of Wanting
In most cases, the things we
want are & seem nicer than
what we actually have.
Wanting is not a bad thing, in
fact, wanting is what drives us
to work harder or improve
certain things. Wanting a
better life drives us to want a
better education which will
later bear fruit in the job that
we get, the money that we
earn and the life that we’ll
afford. Wanting the best for
yourself, child or friend etc.,
will drive us to do certain
things & herein lies the issue.
People go to crazy extents to
achieve what they want.
Mothers will prostitute for
their children, wives will
cheat for their family,
husbands will steal sometimes
even kill for their families and
this all comes down to one
thing, WANTING!
Young girls everywhere all
want to be great one day…they
want a good life, a good
looking husband, & not
forgetting what comes at the
top of the list nowadays, a
good pocket.

When people want, they
always want the good stuff, you
even hear those who take
dangerous drugs asking for the
good grade, those who rob
asking for the gun that’s good
for the job. But to what extent
are we willing to go to get what
we want.
Everybody wants to become a
star. Most young girls want to
become like Beyoncé, Rihanna
and likewise, guys look up to
Kanye, Jay Z and the likes. They
have done a lot to get to where
they are and they have
sacrificed much. To what
extent are we willing to go to
get what we want?
Wanting is not bad, I repeat,
but it is quite dangerous. Its

time to rise as young
Zimbabweans, Africans and
make our own way, write our
own future, create our own
utopia. Somewhere we can
achieve our goals without
losing our dignity –ladies, our
pride –gentlemen & our sense
of Ubuntu, Chivanhu,
Africanism.
Lets create our own Hollywood,
where we do not need to
become anybody else and carry
our value’s and customs
proudly. Its starts with us
respecting our own customs,
then everyone else wherever we
may end up will acknowledge
it. That’s a biscuit to chew on…
