Enjoying (Kuphaka) Life

Felix

By Felix Banda

They say "Life is what you make" but, l wonder why some youths indulge in bad behaviors without thinking that they are destroying their life and future. As you can see, youths put their lives at risk. In many areas youths are drinking beer, smoking chamba and being involved in sexual relationships.

These things, as you can see can lead to some risks like contracting HIV/AIDS due to sexual relationships, mental disorders due to smoking chamba and drinking beer can also put youths life at risk.

Sadly, they claim to be enjoying life or “ Kuphaka life” in vernacular. This life now is a way which is putting youth life at risks.

My advice to fellow youths is that they must avoid engaging in such behavior because we don’t have life for enjoyment, we have life for a purpose.

So when we enjoy carelessly we can’t achieve what we want to achieve. We must remember that life is not by chance but by design and it come once, so we must do things that will benefit our life in lifetime.

Let’s take care of ourselves so that we should achieve our dreams and reject bad behaviors that can destroy our future.
