SIGNS OF THE TIMES(My Version)

The Malawian Roman Catholic in their yearly pastoral letters commented on the activities of the year 2010.

Since the year was dominated the year, much of the issues covered were political.

Considering the current situation of events, I feel I should comment to break a loop of a series of conflicts that arise from the old issues and the current.

People of Malawi are angry. The government has failed. The demand the government to admit they have failed. If the government does not admit, they will keep on making noise.

Why has the government failed, there is no fuel. But today there is fuel. Maybe tomorrow it will not be there. The government is not folding hands. But indeed it has shown that it is sweating and cracking headaches by increasing the fuel price.

Why has the government failed? Because The First Lady has some responsibilities the vice president has. They are indeed both ladies. And they can share lady activities. The Vice President can't be the AU ambassador while The President is the AU chairperson. Otherwise for activities that need both, would leave Malawi without a leader. The Vice President is supposed to lead when The President is at AU. The first lady who always accompanies the president everywhere he goes, on the basis of being his wife, can't be a stay at home wife while she is capable carrying out responsibilities herself, so indeed responsibilities that the Vice President had while there was no first lady could right be given back to the first lady while she is present.

What does the constitution say regarding the duties of the president? Has the First Lady taken any of these duties? No she hasn't so indeed the first lady has not taken the duties of the Vice President. And the Vice President has not complained about these things.

The only thing she has complained about is the way the media ignores her. For she too has a voice to communicate to the public. The media thinks that her voice is small for she because she is a lady. The media blames the president because the voice of the vice president is small.

Is the media making sense?

How can it say that president has to make her voice bigger? The president has made her vice president. She is big enough. Bigger than any other lady in Malawi. She is the deputy of the President. But the media forgets that. The media sees a woman where the President sees her deputy. The media blames the president because its eyes(the media's eyes) sees a woman.

The media needs to wash its glasses.

It is because of this senseless media that the people of Malawi are angry.

I have to get some sleep now. I should not get a headache from sleeplessness because of the senseless media.

Of Laws and Homosexuality

The government of the United States has declared it would not recognize laws that bar homosexual weddings. While the US takes it upon itself to force such conditions on other lands it should remember that within itself, it gives provision that individual states adopt laws it approves and the laws of one state may not apply in other states and the jurisdiction of the law in a state ends within its boundaries.

So shall we the rest of the world expect the jurisdiction of the laws in United States end within its boundaries. That means the government of the United States shall by no means or force whether in form of sanctions or war expect to enforce its laws on other nations. Such action shall be deemed illegal.

For all ages, the church has had a provision to refuse to marry couples if they do not satisfy certain conditions. This has applied to straight couples and it still applies today. By no means shall this provision be scraped off in favour of the homosexuals whether in United States or anywhere else.

The church shall still have the right to refuse to marry couples whether straight or homosexuals. This is in accordance to marriage acts of many nations who subscribe to the English common law or the Roman which is similar to the American law. This is also in accordance as well to the values of many religions which are protected by the amendments in the bill of rights.

Therefore by no means shall the church be preferentially forced to marry gay couples. And nations shall without fear chose to adopt laws to apply within its boundaries. And the United States or any organization whether international or local shall not expect otherwise to find reason to punish.

My Thesis: The Acknowledgment

After doing all I could to find a cryptography topic to write my thesis, I resigned to the wishes of Professor Ryan to write a Coding Theory Thesis on Non-trivial Autimorphisms of Goppa Codes. The cryptography topic suggested by the visiting Professor Schaefer, I had already touched on extensively the previous year while assisting another Masters student, being supervised by Prof. Schaefer, with programming to assist in generating his results. I wanted to write something knew and original.

I sat in the MSc Lab with my abstract with my head blank on what to do with Coding Theory. In my aspirations, I wanted to do a cryptography topic as that would have relevance to my career as a computer scientist for information security. This pursuit highly blinded me from the fact that I had a highest grade in the Coding Theory module than cryptography. I might have worked hard on it so it could give me less trouble possible while I concentrate on the cryptography I have wanted, but it seems this is what encouraged the professor to give me a coding theory topic than a cryptography one. As such I was blank as to what I would do with coding theory in my career.

Time was not on my side, I had to graduate. At Phwezi Boys Secondary School, we had a slogan: Accept the challenge, God will guide. I accepted the topic as a challenge God would guide.

The first night, in the Lab, all I wrote was the acknowledgment. It was fearfully and thoughtfully written so. There were many more I would loved to thank and acknowledge but it was a requirement that it be short as possible. I had to remember.

Emmanuel Chima: when you are old and there is someone younger with some tenets similar to your youth, in being old you sometimes have to make new decisions which you can sure about if you remember how you made decision when you were younger. His life kept me walk on on the right truck with encouragement.

Edmond Kachale: suppose I say the guy crash tested my thesis to the point of breaking it. Shall it please my supervisor that I submit a thesis crash tested by a person with a mere bachelors degree he does not know? I did not forget to acknowledge you.

Archangel Chirwa: When you been regarded as a computer genius and been called lazy, you find that you are still an asset to someone who really wants to learn, it helps you organize your thoughts together which of your actions are laziness which of them are not. When you do share your thoughts about an IT matter you recall what you already know and understand yourself better. His life around me encouraged me to push further to what I really am inspite of the flatteries and discredits. This rebooted the courage to stand on my feet and walk the walk and the talk I have talked in the middle of all the noises in the crowd.

I guess, people might have misunderstood the inclusion of the word "troublesome" and treated me as a very troublesome person indeed. I gave her a lot of trouble with my asthmatic attacks when I was young that she resolved not to hashly treat me as I grew old. She has held me dearly that I wonder if my wife would be able to take me away from her love. She would rather watch me that I am ok all the time. She would stop me from doing many household chores that would be the reason I found myself concentrating much on academics than anything else. That's the only right thing I grew up knowing. Oh, plus the word of God. The Bible has been my best and faithful friend. It never leaves my bedside.

After a tearful and thoughtful night acknowledging people as they deserved, the morning was already come so I went to bed to rest a little bit having just written an acknowledgment for a whole night. And my head was still blank about what to write on in my thesis.

Retweeting Oxfarm and CISANET

So here goes Oxfarm and CISANET:
To serve poor farmers better, deregister ADMARC Ltd; re-enact ADMARC Act or register ADMARC as a Public Trust.

Good cause. Personal preference, re-enact ADMARC Act. Why?

The problem with a public trust is it becomes a separate and private entity that which can compete with other private entities. Is that a small problem? No, real big. What becomes lost is the act governing what ADMARC Act does. So in the field where ADMARC competes, the falls chaos which no Act in the laws of Malawi does not order.

I think we have come to such a chaotic point due to some Acts in the laws of Malawi have been relinquished. Such laws need to be re-enacted at all cost whether the governing bodies have become public trusts or not.

I do believe there is a way of incorporating every one whether a public entity or a private but governed under an Act which orders the operations within that field.

These laws include the Malawi Post and Telecommunications Act. Employment Acts, Professional Services Act. I mention these for these are for these are areas I have directly interface but there are many more acts which really need reviewing.

So there is no substituting the Acts and the establishment of ADMARC or other entities should indeed be a separate decision.

While Oxfarm's cause is good, its channel of communication, is not. Oxfarm would rather find it self in parliament to bring these issues to those who are concerned about them.

The public should not worry about the Oxfarm lobbying for the public has already entrusted some people to worry about such. If anything, Oxfarm could boast about its initiative on their website for accountability, or in their newsletters to donors but should not give ultimatums in the paper and expect an mp to think it up in parliament. Never indeed. For when the mp reads the paper, he does not read it on the capacity as mp unless he is referred to on the issue for his attention. For indeed as human being mp's they get what they have been sent to deliver to parliament.

When Oxfarm later does come and say the government does not listen, they did not hear for who was the message supposed to go to.

When it comes on the page that talks fuel, average mp will not even look at it. The only people who will look at it are farmers who know Oxfarm and are expecting a message from them.

If the people have members of parliament why should not non-governmental organizations have members of parliament whose job is to be in parliament and communicate such issues.

We don't have to hear it from the streets that the ngo's or civil societies want these things changed. It is an unnecessary disturbance that serves no good but destroys much. The streets are for safe pedestrian operation and vehicle commuting not demonstrations about things not communicated. When ngo members of parliament speak they would get the most attentive ear for the wisdom they communicate to the people.

For mp's require such wisdom for the sake of the people they represent.

Tomorrow's Malawian Demonstration: The Terms and Conditions.

Tomorrow, some people of Malawi, have organised a demonstration against what they perceive as problems in our land. Some seek publication, some seek to fill their pockets, some to destroy what is destroying their selfishness. They will speak what they find faulty with our current government. Some demands are unreasonable. Some may indeed be words unheard among all the noise and genuine. They might have been unheard for they were speaking through the wrong mouth and with wrong attitude and without respect to the ear that was ready to listen.

The west is good at rushing to punish even from hearsay. I find that before any action against our land of Malawi, if the west wishes to put pressure on the current leadership it shall look at the expressed issues independently and take at the objective look at the issues raised and the facts on the ground. I find that it shall need adequate time to consider the matter and independently investigate the truth of the matters raised. It shall not act for at least after a month to allow for investigation.

Malawi is a democratic country which has two five year terms allowed for each presidential terms. These terms were solely put to limit the time a president can stay in power. To allow or assist the removal of the current president before his term ends would be to bring unnecessary disturbance to the people of Malawi. For already we have to deal with so much unrest during election times which to we Malawians detest. For even in our national anthem, we have always asked God to keep our land in peace.

Malawi has proper of correction if a president is going against the wishes of the people of Malawi who are peace loving and for the sake peace and order have adopted a constitution which gives the guidelines of resolution in such situations.

These procedures have not been followed. And the demonstrators have not tried these proceeders in a proper way.

Not every voice that demonstrates speaks the wishes of Malawi. Not every aid that reaches the land of Malawi with honest intentions. Some indeed come to our land for malicious motives. Because they do have the money to stir up a crowd and bring disturbance, they succeed. We therefore call for peace loving organizations to come to our aid and counter the balance that the foreign malicious organizations may not succeed in their malicious motives.

In the acceptance speech, our first President, His Excellency, Ngwazi Dr. H. Kamuzu Banda called for each of us Malawians to hold the responsibility of maintaining peace and calm, law and order as we malawians have always done.

These were the words of one who was considered a dictator as well, but did listen to the voices and wishes of Malawi and did step down.

Those who took over government then with the pressure of foreign organizations, tore apart most of our national resources for their selfish gain leaving the majoring of the people of Malawi who lacked nothing in abject poverty. So much corruption developed amongst many officials, than was accused of Kamuzu's Government. This corruption, the current president has been almost single handedly has worked to curb it.

The introduction of the quotaed university selection system saw most of these who have been trying to protect their ill gained riches through corrupt practices which the current president is trying to curb.

Just days ago on 5-6 February 2011, Malawi commerated an anti-corruption day lead by the current leadership. Last years theme was mainly among religious leadership, this year was for government officials. This was lead by the president himself, His Excellency, Prof. Bingu Wa Mutharika which shows how supporting he is in the fight against corrupt practices.

There has been a letter written by the same group of people who want to incite Vice President Madam Joyce Banda against the current president. In this letter they were trying to implicate her in a conspiracy against her president but it does revel the intentions of those who found opportunity through the demonstration against a quotaed university selection system, but failed, they wanted to take advantage of the fact that Malawi Electoral Commission was closed pending an investigation. It is a difficult situation but like any organization, money is missing, there has to be an investigation and it can be a trap to find fault against the current president so as to find fault to impeach him. Like they have tried to incite Madam Joyce Banda so that her removal from her post could be used against the president who also removed Dr. Cassim Chilumpha who was not the presidents choice of running mate.

These are some of the problems that have arisen because of the people who have illegally acquired riches in the government of Dr. Bakili Muluzi as evidenced by the letter forged to implicate Madam Joyce Banda in a conspiracy against the current president.

These things foreign governments and/or organizations should objectively look at before supporting the demonstration being organized in Lilongwe, inspired by the North African demonstration. Even though the Egyptian demonstrations have succeeded, not all such demonstrations are for the right cause.

We need peace in Malawi than anything else. And We especially don't want a disturbance for all the wrong reasons.

Of Computers and Geniuses

So Garbage In - Garbage Out. The process in between also depends on whether the person sitting behind the monitor hitting the keys on the keyboard was fed garbage or goodies. So in the end it is not the computer that is the genius, but indeed the person behind it.

Does every genius know everything? All babies are born without knowledge. Some learn faster than others, but all do eventually learn. Some learn faster for they have been allowed and encouraged to do so. Some know much than others for that is their only pass time knowing things. Some have to do so for it is a necessity. A matter of life and death. In pushing hard their brains to learn what can be understood by adults alone, they get there. Sometimes God sees the cause and helps with wisdom and knowledge to accomplish such. So there goes genius.

Can I be good in everything as I claim? Test me. But I find that it is of not much use. I will still always do what needs to be done. So I don't burden myself much with the thought of what don't I do. Some have tested me over and over and wore me out. I can't live my life being tested for there is,no end to it. For just when I think I have accomplished more, there is always something that needs to be done. For some time I don't know it, but I do eventually know it sometimes better than those in practice. Sometimes when I think I know much, I find I know too little. So yeah, human and real flesh like everyone else but depended on God very much so even asked to so as He pleases lest I fail to attain that which is priority, salvation to meet him face to face and ask Him questions of things I have not understood yet.

So, accountant, you scored distinction in your degree? Does the computer confuse you with its formulations? It is very likely, the genius behind AccPac was not accountant and was not given the goodies the accountant require lest they become accountants themselves.

When it awed them, they thought the computer can't make mistakes. But these hands have time and again fooled a computer made it do things it never thought it could do fried some RAM, pinged it to death, strangled some viruses, broken some codes, made it walk upside down, you name it, people have done these things. But it does make a foolish mistake.

It can confuse an S with a 5 and die terribly. So it your life did depended on one do really keep a backup of your life somewhere else safer. It does not hurt to hide it in God. That's the safest deposit for after death there is life in Heaven. And when your computer genius making it walk upside down, make sure you don't put a 2 where should be 5 or an S for that matter for somebodies life depends on it and they may not have made a deposit in Heaven yet. So they may die twice because of your playing genius.

Don't get me wrong people are foolish enough to think everything that comes out of a computer is a Goody. Do make sure you put Goodies in it not Garbage. Make sure you put off as much Garbage out of the computer as possible, for a little Garbage multiplied with the Goodies is still Garbage indeed.

Do always try to make Goodies out of Garbage as well. For not all will remember to put away the Garbage.

When you writing AccPac do get a genius accountant to confuse you with questions as well. What comes out will be much better for the average accountant.

I heard someone, we can't make a correction for the computer has said so. I laughed inside and yet hurting as well, for I needed the money the computer had wrongly edited away. And this clerk behind the glass thought himself a genius using a computer to want to call security when I complained. Such is people's foolishness towards computers.

Do make sure the computer does not edit peoples money away for next time, it will edit yours. When it does so, you will be a Bill Gates inverted upside down. This may happen once in a billion. Sure, it does happen. You never know whether the once will be the first or the last of the billion. Such is chance as all computer geniuses know. Even God knows better about chance. He takes care of His children every day so that chance does not find them lacking.

Oops! I lost all this that I have written above. Lucky, I had auto-save that saves even when my editor closes. I hope I won't make it a habit not depend on auto-save. For I might use and editor that does not auto-save and lose a book worth of information. Sorry for the grammatical errors. When spell check tells you to put what you do not mean thinking what you mean is garbage, you forget sometimes and allow it to edit away the Goodies you mean. So do proof read and make comments, ask questions where the grammar tests sour. Sorry about the typos. You know, even spell check does not catch some of them.

Remember God. It is Sunday today. Go and pray. Make a backup of your life in Heaven. Heaven is the only place your life is safe. Spend time with family as well. The computer won't run away. Shut it down just in case. But I assure you, you will find. It doesn't have legs.

When you run a little code on it do find time to play as well. Get a life.

Operation Bwezani: The Final Bwezani.

Just a thought about payrolls, bank loans, grants and savings.

I just talked about payrolls and I am looking at all the advantages and all the disadvantages all over again.

The attitude of product and service providers in our current economic environment leaves much room for appreciation. Customers are regarded as egg laying chickens which could just be slaughtered if they fall sick as a way of reducing losses before they spread the disease to other chickens. That is like the normal of the day. But Human Beings? Human beings deserve much more respect than that. Even the sickest should be taken care of with love to the very day of his death. This is an extreme but it is the reality of the attitude business owners have towards customers. It stinks. And I hate it.

You buy something and you are given something damaged. You complain, they would even want to close the door in your face. The hearts that break! Do you people understand? Do you understand how difficult it is to make ends meet for the lowly people when you move in your prado's gazzling fuel like water?

I saw a tobacco farmer trying this way and that to try to prove his identify that he is indeed who he says he is in order to order to access the information for his tobacco sales. He must have walked for long indeed and maybe has stayed in the depot for long and without food and his relatives might even be worrying if he hasn't been killed by the robbers especially with tobacco money or he has decided to squander money for themselves.

Even this dirty look he has now acquired to access his dear money he has worked so hard for, is really an extra feature to doubt his identify for the money he claims. Why? The auction holdings limited has a state of art security which even locks out even its customers. When customers don't come to claim their money they might even be regarded as defaulters who don't need to be paid. Maybe they have a lot of it. So we might as well gazzle some of it on beers some of it on the sweet ladies at Paris. Some of it on fuel. When they do come we just tell them we closed your account for you did not come to claim it. Stupid.

The customer is outside your gate coming daily to claim his pay and you have locked him out of the money he worked hard for to gazzle some of it on beers and the sweet ladies at Paris and buy some bicycles with it. Of all these losses a human being can make for his own money. None! For it is better to enjoy what one has worked for, even to his death, fortunately they are wiser to save all that they need from the much money they get. But should it be you who claim to encourage savings, lose it all for him? Stupid!

When banks go to government we want to do this and that in order to encourage this good and that and this will bring this much revenue in taxes. The government says yes. Indeed they say yes for all you have told them are advantages but you have not told them that to get that much revenue to the coffers of the government, you will have to lock out customers for their own money. You going to sell some, who don't speak much, the damages and shut the doors in their faces before they can spread the disease to other customers. Stupid!

Government should know this and thoroughly understand the ideas brought before them and even follow up on how customers have received or are viewing the new idea. CAMA should be number one to follow up these. I hope it is not an NGO depending on donors who might want to protect their investments as well.

Government should really speed up the idea of financial independence. We managed then why should we fail now? We depend much on taxes now because we had to stop depending on donors who had to have us sell all our income generating companies which allowed us to have all that we needed provided at our own pace without having to burn out with overwork. With everybody happy buying malawian. We should put our worries where worries need to be, taking care of our sick not filling up the fuel tank.

I should think those who complained most during Kamuzu's time are such as who tore apart all our companies. Than those who lived on this land called Malawi.

If truth be told, I would not be surprised if the procedures of privatizing the companies, the direction they have taken, the wishes upon formation of the companies, clauses in the registration documents to self guard them might render all the privatisation illegal and allow us to claim back for our land Malawi our heritage, which our forefathers built for us for our enjoyment and use. For the sweat they sweated they sweated so that we might not need to sweat as they did. I shall not want to sweat for what our forefathers shed their blood for for our enjoyment just because somebody else has taken it. I shall want back all that is the heritage of the people of Malawi to be returned to Malawi.

The people of Zimbabwe have suffered for the work their government have done to claim back their heritage. I shall not want this work be left to the government alone. But I shall indeed ask our genius lawyers to go into the books and records to fight a brilliant battle and get our heritage back.

This is the final Bwezani I want. If it was said, they overcame by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their Testimony, the blood the lamb had already shed, had already bought their heritage back. By the word of their testimony they claimed their heritage back.

Our forefathers have too shed their blood for this our heritage. When asked why do you have to do all this? They did reply, that you my children may have a better life than we lived.

The heritage they built for us the people of Malawi, is not being enjoyed as wished our forefathers.

We shall want to enjoy our heritage as our forefathers wished when they built it whether in the current hands or not and get back all that is illegally taken from, and buy back all that we want to buy back.

Above all we shall appoint to manage our heritage, those we see fit to manage it, following the wishes of our forefathers that in their wisdom crafted laws and procedures that greatly prospered our land to cause so much envy to the foreigners and Judases who tore them apart. We shall have the right to demote those that manage it not according to the wishes of our forefathers as the guidelines and procedures in managing such require.

Of Teachers Payroll

With vast bubble up of private enterprises, every company has to make sales to survive. Some companies in their making sales do force a sale where its not needed.

In implementing IT Solutions, the average problem various manual systems to be resolved, is most likely a logical problem. It is required the logical problem in the manual be solved implementing a computerized solution. Otherwise instead of solving the problem, computerising multiplies the problem and faster.

Garbage In - Garbage Out.

That's the first statement you get in introduction to computer. What people have taken it today, I know not. You realise every body expects only

Goodies In - Goodies Out.

But the truth of matter is both statement exist hand in hand.

If your goal is to multiply Goodies and you put in Garbage, Garbage is what you will get. No computer engineer can make this different.

When I hear about the idea of every teacher requiring a bank account, in order to resolve the ghost workers problem, I find that even the bank account cannot resolve this problem completely but rather make it more tricky. In this era where teachers have limited options to officially change professions, how shall it be traced that a teacher who has stopped working is still receiving salaries. For at least in the manual system, the everyone is sure to get a salary at the school they teach, and the headmaster accounts for each. If one teacher has left, the headmaster can not employ another without the knowledge of the division headquarters. So in the end the ghost worker problem resolves. From time to time, the ministry of education sends inspectors, do they not check and confirm the presence of each teacher physically? Does the goes worker still exist today in the twenty first century? I find that it should not.

While with the birth of the ICT industry, the ghost worker problem was one of the popular problems given as an example of the problems to resolve. If it is an issue of payroll, is it not possible to let the teacher have choice of which account to use? Not all of us would have the same preference of banks. Some of us have been greatly disappointed by some banks and would rather have nothing to with them. Some banks would give, conditions that personally we would not like. While it is possible, to receive and transfer the money to the bank of choice, who shall pay for withdraw charges other banks require? Shall the government foot the bill for such bills? Or are they are letting the banks rip where they have not sown by deducting charges from teachers on withdraw?

I find that a simple government certified voucher would do in this case where already almost every teacher has a personal account whether jointly heard or individual, and the payment voucher written in the name of the teacher, would allow the bank to debit the government and pay the teacher their due while the bank settles everything with the government. The verification protocol at best could use Information and Technology tools for efficiency.

I find the integration of such a solution beautiful and more realistic, offering choice, ease and efficiency in the process (other details not included, of course).

By the way, I don't like the idea of a demand to open the accounts or forfeit payment. Teachers are not prisoners who have to be punished to receive their payment nor children who have to be taught with such conditions.

Some banks would rather you check your balance on the ATM What with the rain? And in some you have to come back several times due to network failures. So the money is mine and I had to sweat for it and should I be locked out from accessing my own money?
While there are levels of security, sometimes it is not the strength of a lock but the cleverness of the protocol.

Of Depression, Anti-depression and Job.

Just walk through of dopamine, its inhibitors and stuff.

Some genius must have dug and found an anti-depressant that inhibits dopamine and the person normalizes. The cry of Eureka! leaves a lot more that need care before some thing can be accepted. The entrepreneurialing science industry has made this a little worse. With non-scientific management who only see money! Profit! Promotion! Yea, science goes down the drain.

So what happens with dopamine inhibition? There are two chemicals: prolactin and dopamine that counteract. One motivates to do action, one resolves the limit of motivation with satisfaction.

Depression occurs with wider range of reasons than demotivation. I do believe secreted with prolactin, should be some hormone of happiness for that is one indication of satisfaction.

A depressed person, while unhappy, he is weighed down by a thought. This thought which can not be resolved by chemicals but another thought or word. The idea of medicating mentally ill persons seems really to come from the idea that a human being is completely chemicals and no soul. The lack of acknowledgment of the soul and the consciousness in science is what has mostly, especially in the field of psychiatry, made psychiatrists to twist this hormone and that to make this chemical react with that and in the end so many imbalances are created that the body itself becomes confused to what it is reacting to.

A person is normally supposed to be happy at a happy thought. If an external chemical is produced where there is no happy thought, to make the body react happy, the body develops a habit of responding to that thought with happiness. Such is confusion twisting chemicals to resolve thought disorders creates.

One does start with depression(I am convinced all depression is resolvable). Normal recovery is a process like Job(Bible). It is a kind of morning that is so deep and should not be interrupted before it matures. Job loses everything in one day(I have spoken this somewhere, if not right here on my blog). He regards all that he has been doing to self-guard all that he has finally lost and is sad. It weakens him to this silence for seven days and on the seventh day does speak starting with a curse of the day he was born and wishes he was dead. These are rightly, signs and symptoms of acute depression any psychiatrist could treat them so. Yet treating them at this level is wrong. Best that they can do, is simulate what the friends of Job did, his talking and reasoning has helped him overcome thoughts that have weighed him down before his loss, and now in his loss to resolve within himself what is it to hold to and to live by for all that the world has said to do to keep all that he has, he has done and still lost everything. Of all his resolutions he does speak now out of this reality against the friends who have seem to not have known this reality and his speech does look controversial to the popular thought of the moment(the fact that a thought is popular does not make it true or right. This is the root of the folly of democracy). But it is what overcomes the thought that outweighs him in the depression.

Here is Job, who has spoken, and all have not agreed with him. At this moment, even though he has held on to his thought, he would fall into rejection of all the friends hold on to even God, if that's what the friends profess while hanging on to the popular thought. Though he might not leave his right judgement of what is right and what is wrong. He does distance himself from anything Godly. It takes the fourth who has listened and put all thoughts in right perspective. It brings all reality in perspective and resolves Job's own innocence which now brings the right kind of happiness into his thought.

Now God even now does come. But even them though God does come anger, Job is seeing God and is smiling not even listening(I think) to the fact that God is angry, but he is seeing whom he has loved and longed to meet. It becomes enough to just see him.

Such is happiness uncontrollable. Laughter that rocks your heart out that you can laugh from morning to evening without being quenched.

Unfortunately such laughter psychiatrists don't approve as well. Iiih, zawo zimenezo!

But I think they need it. It is good medicine for the soul. For their souls have been dead from being ignored. It can really revive their spirits enough to treat their patients with love.
