TRUTH IS CANDLE FLICKERING BEHIND A WALL OF SMOKE

By Samuel MUTABAZI

 lies often appear as convenient shortcuts to discomfort, accountability, or conflict. Yet, behind every lie, there is a concealed truth waiting to be uncovered. Lies may distort reality temporarily, but they cannot erase the facts . They only bury them.

Critical thinking demands what we question not just what we said, but what is omitted, altered, or exaggerated. When truth is masked by deception, patterns emerge: Inconsistencies in stories, emotional manipulation, and a reliance on secrecy. By observing these signs  and applying logic and skepticism, the truth often begins to surface. Lies are fragile, they require maintenance, while truth  on the other hand stands on its own.

In any situation, ask: who benefits from this version of reality? what evidence supports or challenges it? The pursuit of truth begins with doubt, not cynicism, but thoughtful doubt. Lies may be loud, but truth has patience and ultimately, endurance.

As my last line, why nowadays society become corrupt instead of seeking  truth, dignity integrity and all good qualities towards one an other such as honest, compassion, responsibility and respect. Without forgetting fairness, humility, positive attitude, self awareness, and resilience. These traits allow individuals to be trustworthy, supportive, and valuable members of society, while also fostering personal growth and happiness.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE AND BECOME VALUABLE MEMBERS OF SOCIETY?

WE SHALL ANSWER THIS QUESTION IN THE NEXT POST.

The streets Kyiv echoed not with despair, but with the heartbeat of nation that refuse to kneel.

The Purpose of Progress: Kigali's New Bus Lanes

  Kigali’s new bus lanes mark a major step forward in improving urban transportation and reducing traffic congestion. Designed to give public buses their own dedicated space on busy roads, these lanes help buses move faster and more reliably through the city. For many commuters, this means shorter travel times, more predictable schedules, and easier connections to work, school, and markets. The system also encourages residents to choose public transport over private motorcycles and cars, which supports safer roads and a cleaner environment. One of the biggest advantages of the new bus lanes is improved efficiency. Buses no longer have to compete with heavy mixed traffic, allowing them to maintain steady speeds even during rush hours. This leads to reduced overcrowding at bus stops, lower fuel consumption, and fewer emissions per passenger. The lanes also make travel more comfortable for riders, as smoother journeys reduce delays and roadside stress. In the long run, the project str...
