To my dear friends and colleagues,
Let’s pause and reflect on how we treat one another. It saddens me how some people only remember you when they need something—when it serves their interest. This is not the example we should be setting for the next generation. It’s a bad precedence.
Don’t just call when you need help. Check on your friends. Reach out to your brothers. Speak to your colleagues—often, not occasionally. Life is not promised, and we shouldn’t wait until we hear that someone is dead before we start looking for their photos to post on social media, pretending to have cared.
Some of you haven’t checked in for over a year, yet the moment something tragic happens, you want to show up loudly in public grief. What about the times they needed a word of encouragement, a prayer, a listening ear?
Let’s learn to love people while they are still alive.
Whether you build or not, you will still die.
Whether you buy a car or not, you will still die.
But what will remain is how you treated people—how much time and love you shared with those around you.
Spend time with your neighbours. Talk to your siblings. Laugh with your coworkers. Forgive easily. Be kind often. Let people feel your love now—not in a eulogy, not in a tribute, not in a social media post.
Life is short. But love, real love, can make it meaningful.
Let’s do better.
With reflection,
Felix Dzanku
