MODERN PC LANGUAGE

We thank God in many ways and those ways are part of our daily living. Sometimes we use words and we do not know whether they are what we mean.  I have been reflecting on something for this last few days and not much from books and discourses but from the technological point of view.  The world has become too small that one is able to know what is happening around himself or herself in a flash of seconds. The PC is a very interesting machine and very easy to use for those who know how to use it well, not that you have gone through a computer school but how to use it in the mind capacity-intelligence. Anyone can press a button of a key board and things simply change and eyes open and wonder takes its toll. This process of doing things and above all in the technological point of view has struck a note in me recently. Why?  The keyboard on my PC has simply made me discover something I have been using with little attention to it. What is it? Is the question you might be asking right now. In our PCs we have many commands that we use while working: FILE, SAVE, DELETE, FORWARD and other keys. I decided to put myself to task recently.  FILE: There are some incidences in our lives we need to file and we can retrieve them whenever we need to use those experiences like Birthdays, good memories, journey in form of photos, pictures and fact files.  But strange enough there are some of us who file other people in our lives that we ought not to file.  We are over burdened by carrying some people in our lives that we are sick of ulcers, stressed, and fatique its a high time such people who can’t take you anywhere you have to delete them.  People with negative thoughts, people who simply remain in their ideologies and they think they are better than others. We need to delete incidences like tribal hatred, ethnocentrism, racism, hard intolerance, fear, indifference and bad heart towards a neighbour. We need to SAVE people who are kind and who know where they are going and can also help us on our way to our self-discovery. We need to save our significant others. We need to FORWARD peace to all people of good will but we need to forward what we have. There are people who are simply sending empty messages and mixed signals in other people’s lives.  Be a person who forwards that inner self to someone who has not experienced you. Don't love because you like someone, love because you are called to love and its a decission you have committed yourself to. This is what I call knowing to use your PC.  It's quite provocate isn’t it? We use these words but we have never posed a moment to reflect what they mean in daily use and what meanings they bring out.  So as you begin your week and you find out that you are using your PC think about what you are doing and be that behind your mind.  Are you saving? if you don't you will loose all your work, if you don't file with the right name and root you will lose the work unless you recall, you might delete what you were not meant to delete, but sorry accidents  occur and you find yourself in dilemma.  You might forward a message to a person who might be going through a dilemma and you may be an angel to that person at that time. Let me close my document and hoping that I have saved you and that is why I send my sincere prayers to you and may you be a messenger of good work at your table. ©Padre Joseph Nyamunga Mubiru, SSA
