Your Presence does not Matter but Absence is Matters

Your presence should not be what people find amiss but your absence. Did you know that other people work very hard to make their presence felt whilst their absence is never noticed? Think about it.

Everyone would notice a lunatic’s presence yet when they are away they feel peace and never miss the moment. Think of past leaders and celebrities that have run their term and those that are late. Do you miss their presence or their absence is felt?

I have a few suggestions: Think Michael Jackson, Sadam Husain, Muammar Gaddafi, Luther Vandross,  King Shaka, the old time Hitler, Whitney Houston, John Banyan, Margaret Thatcher, William Shakespeare, Stanley Matsebula, etc.

How about the living: George Bush, Bill Clinton, Musa Dube, yourself, etc.

Don’t you think its a good objective of life to make people miss you for what you could have done to help than to disrupt proceedings? I bet there are people whose family are happier without their presence that when they are present. You may think this does not matter but since we need each other in life, you also may find yourself in need of the next person whom you trouble such that they never miss you.
