The ancient Greeks out of deep observation propounded that there are eight types of love that encompass the human experience on earth, I agree and yet disagree with this observation, I see and know that God is love, and love grows through fellowship, but the amount of love you have for yourself is largely dependent on how much of His love for you that you know as is also expressed in the amount of love you have for mankind.
-In all things we do we teach - we continually replicate a model of how we think or have been taught to think or do a thing, and trade - we exchange one thing for another, both consciously and more often unconsciously.
Here we profile all episodes recorded in the first season of the tips and Tops podcast.
I consider being African to be more than just loving the landscape and culture of Africa and taking pride in its vast resources, going deeper to understand true African history, Civilisations and Ideologies, and how we should infuse and apply them into all that we do.

Just as water cuts through rock and “little drops of water make a mighty ocean”, the basic life principle of sticking to a certain act over time yields benefits. Here, I profile the poem “Little Drops by Julia Carney” from 1845.

Human beings evolved to become philosophical beings. We had to know the truth of things, not because we loved logic & reason, this was simply a matter of life & death.
Every issue is a philosophical issue. The moment you ask a question about anything, you have begun a philosophical inquiry. You want an answer. And "answers" are the sole prerogative of philosophy. This is the utility of philosophy: it's ability to procure solutions to problems through thought, reason or experience. But above all, Philosophy is a mindset.
Disassociate yourself from the idea of Philosophy as a University degree, get rid of that man with a white long beard that comes to your mind whenever you hear "philosophy" being mentioned, but rather think of it as the goal of all learning. It's an attitude.

Spoken Word on “Time by Alikwe Ortega”
Overtime, time had been untimely.
All that matter and ever will, in this world of ours, must pass through the sands of time... Even the world itself is bounded by time. That's how doomed the globe is — immeasurable watts of vanity.
The above aforementioned fact is very evident in the These lines... as I Personify TIME.
"Even though lie travels just ahead, the truth meets up just in TIME!"
Meaning that in all one does, if one wanted to know how valid one's works were, time would tell if it's Vanity or Worthiness.
