THE MYSTERY OF LOVE

One of the best poets of love Shakespeare is quoted to have said that “love is to be very strongly attracted to someone in an emotional and sexual way.” Expressions like: I love you. We love each other and we are going to get married are used. Love can also be described as having very much care about someone, especially members of your family or close friends. Expressions like; I love my children. I have known her for some good time and I am dearly in love with her are used.

Note that, it is feelings and emotions combined that make up the true meaning of what love is. “Feeling” is some thing you feel physically in your body whereas “Emotion” is the feeling that you experience, for example love. Although feelings are experienced by every normal human being, they must not alone be a compellant for one to fall in love with the isolation of emotions because feelings are seasonal. One day you might feel in love with this person and tomorrow with another.

Many relationships have broken up because they are developed entirely on feelings, on the contrary note that feelings for some one are developed first and then emotions come later. Being emotional means that one cares, trusts, appreciates and is willing to suffer or die for the person he/she is in love with. If you are looking for some one you can share pain with, man/woman stop fantasizing because pain is personal and can never be shared with another person.

Emotions can be equated to being mad about something, have you heard and seen people committing suicide because of love? Do not think that such people are extremists; they are ones that are in the true state and meaning of being in love. Have you seen people growing thin and failing to eat because of love? This is significant that such people are truly, sincerely, genuinely and deeply in love for some one who does not care about how they feel about him/her. The worst bit of it all is that one can truly and dearly be in love of some one and yet on the contrary the other is in love or attracted to some one else. This is in fact a cycle; the most annoying aspect that makes love to be unfair. It is in fact impossible to find a couple where both partners have the same degree and measure of emotions and feelings for one another. This is simply because it was upon God’s discretion in the very beginning to give us a given weight of desire and love that is so unique to the ones of others. The degree can also be sabotaged due to the family and ethnic background. If one grows up from an environment of hate, disrespect, dishonesty and disobedience is likely to be a disaster in relationships.

Why we should worry about the growing inequality in Uganda

by Michael Aboneka   Uganda continues to grapple with worrying inequalities and regional imbalances.  According to World Bank (2022), half of the population was moderately food insecure and the poorest households were unable to buy food products in the desired amounts. This means that half of our population is a hungry one which can do anything for survival.  In 2021 the Ministry of Finance reported that 28% of Ugandans were poor increasing from 18% prior to COVID-19 era with about two thirds of Uganda losing income and the economy and business still staggers while the gap between the poor and rich widens further because the poor and less privileged are affected adversely proving that  Uganda’s growth is not inclusive. Recently; I saw a number of colleagues expressing their disappointment after some young men stole side mirrors of their cars in broad day light in Kampala and they were left helpless; they couldn’t even run after the thieves. The same state of hopelessness is true to maj

The US Africa-summit: What is in it for Uganda?

  By Michael Aboneka The US Africa summit, the first of its kind for eight years, following the end of the era of Donald Trump and his America first policy, just concluded. With US President, Joe Biden, deliberately playing a different tune from his predecessor Donald Trump. His was indeed a courting ode, with a promise that the US is "All in on Africa's future”. Even more endearing was the declaration that “Africa belongs at the table in every room — in every room where global challenges are being discussed and in every institution where discussions are taking place” that accompanied the promise that US will support African Union joining the G20 group of large economies as a permanent member.  Biden announced $2 billion in humanitarian aid for Africa to address acute food insecurity, with emphasis that Africa has potential to feed itself and the world and a joke that he, like a poor relative, will visit Africa and spend a long time there. The cheery tone and overt support fro

The Computer Misuse (Amendment) Bill 2022 cures no mischief

  By Michael Aboneka Jr Hon. Muhammad Nsereko sought leave of Parliament to table an amendment bill to the Computer Misuse Act in February 2022 and has now tabled the bill on the floor of Parliament. In my view, there is nothing new that the new law is seeking to cure and I am waiting to read the Regulatory impact assessment and the justifications thereof beyond public debates.  From the proposed long title of the bill, objectives and the clause on defects in existing law, it is not clear and specific enough of what mischief the bill intends to cure. The amendment seeks to largely protect the right to privacy, prohibition of unlawful access to data and spreading of false information which are already protected by existing legal frameworks such as the Constitution, Children Act, the Human Rights Enforcement Act 2019, Penal Code Act, Data protection and privacy Act 2019 among others. All these provide layers of protection that the bill seeks to do and by large, the amendment will only du
