IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE STARS - AN ACCOUNT OF LIVES IMPACTED BY 'EVERYDAY ADVERSITIES.' PART 93.

 

His desire being to realise his vision and aspiration to make a big difference to the lives of others and his family.

And, as he committed himself to achieving these objectives, Kazaliwa's most potent stabilizer has always been that of ensuring that he completes his sentence licence successfully. 

Without any breaching of it and placing himself in jeopardy of being recalled to complete his sentence in the confinement of a prison.      

So that he can gain his freedom from the  criminal justice system which has  condemned him to a long extended sentence. 

It has not been the case that Kazaliwa, during his 8 long years of living with the threat of the proverbial sword of damocles, falling on his proverbial head and snatching away his liberty, never been tempted to err and succumb to his vulnerabilities. 

No, he has. Especially during the early post-discharged years. However, whereas in his pre-and-early post-incarceration years, he was more likely to succumb to his anger, his impulsivity and short-temperedness. 

Which led to worrying situations which have enhanced the stress level of his family, if not Kazaliwa himself.  

Now, Kazaliwa had learnt to put away 'childish behaviour', as it were, has matured significantly and learned to appreciated the benefits and advantages of controlling impulses which could prove destructive or detrimental to him.

He had developed the self-perception of being ''an arse-grown man'', and has better respect for himself as a man and for his freedom and liberty. 

He realises what he had lost - as well as learned and earned - while he was incarcerated in ''jail,'' and, like ''the caged bird'', he has no intention of returning to that dark and ,cold place and time.' 

Kaziliwa wanted to be free, and he yeans to be fully freed and fly away to the Sun, or countries where he could enjoy living with ready access to Sun, sea and tropical lifestyle.
