Once upon a time in Uganda

Once upon a time in Uganda
Or how #4 makes the memory of an entire country

(Coldplay - Fix You)

They say good things need to age, and that experience comes with time. It does, but it is no universal law, if it is anything it is a proposition. A stupid silly proposition that makes us look in all corners of the world and that make up a large set of our prejudices. Scouring lands great deserts and prairies. Dredging rivers and even lake Victoria herself. Finding nothing but mud, dust or sand.

But it doesn't have to be, sometimes you find beautiful special things in the one thing you always frowned upon. I consider myself lucky not to exclude anything or anyone on the presumptions of age. I can say that I have learned that lesson many years ago. A sentence I know few can utter for the very reason of that what the lesson contains. Some just hadn't had the time to experience it yet.

And that makes the possession of certain things beautiful. The world is full of people afraid to be, afraid of themselves, to live, to feel and to just do what makes them feel so alive. It is rare to even find anyone like that. So let us make number 4 a number to remember. And quoting a simple compliment will do just that;

You dare to live, even if it fucks up your logic.
There is no greater victory for a thinker”
