Make me a grave where’er you will,
In a lowly plain, or a lofty hill;
Make it among earth’s humblest graves,
But not in a land where men are slaves.

I could not rest if around my grave

I heard the steps of a trembling slave;
His shadow above my silent tomb
Would make it a place of fearful gloom

I could not rest if I heard the tread

Of a coffle going to the shambles led,
And the mother’s shriek of wild despair
Rise like a curse on the trembling air

women who are recorded in history and biography as the most happy were with always somewhat to do than
they could possibly do. Every waking hour of their lives was occupied with ambitious projects, literature, love,
politics, science, friendship, commerce, professions, trades, their religious faith, and a thousand other matters.
The secret of happiness may be found by making each of these interests count to its utmost as part of the fabric
of life.

We need to avoid the extremes of sluggish placidity and feverish activity. we are not going to be satisfied with
felicity which resembles that of a stone, unfeeling and unmoving, but will look back from future ears with
sorrow and regret if we run to and fro, giving it what Socrates called ‘the itch’.

Happiness obviously includes two sorts of behavior: active and passive. We may say the active consists in
searching and sharing, while the passive part is made up security and possession. Neither part is complete in
itself, nor does neither yield full satisfaction if it is over-emphasized. Philosophers from the ancient Greeks to
present day have been extolling a balanced life as the most happy life,and many unhappy people can, when they
face the issue, trace their discontent to imbalance.

The recipe for happiness cannot be given in any single word, because its many virtues have to be combined in
their proper quantities, at the proper times for proper purposes.

It is legitimate to seek happiness. We cannot help observing that while followers of some schools of thought are
telling us to avoid seeking happiness; they intimate that if we do so we shall be happy.

The search requires a plan. We need to know what sort of happiness we seek, what the ingredients are, what our
strongest wants are, and what we have to start with. We should train ourselves to keep the programme simple,
and free from complications and side trips, to pay attention to little things to deflate quickly after being praised
and to bounce back quickly after disappointment, to seize to create opportunities to put our special abilities to
work, to seek excellence in everything we do, to remain modest and to review and revise periodically.

Nora: It’s a shame to say that. I do really save all I can.

Helmer: (laughing) That’s very true, - all you can. But you can’t save anything!

Nora: (smiling quietly and happily) You haven’t any idea how many expenses we skylarks and squirrels have,
Torvald.

Helmer: You are an odd little soul. Very like your father. You always find some new way of wheedling money
out of me, and as soon as you have got it, it seems to melt in your hands. You never know where it has gone.
Still, one must take you as you are. It is in the blood: for indeed it is true that you can inherit these things, Nora.

Nora: Ah, I wish I had inherited many of papa’s qualities.

Helmer: And I would not wish you to be anything but just what you are, my little skylark. But do you know, it
strikes me that you are looking-rather—what shall I say- rather uneasy today?

Nora: do I?

HELMER: You do, really. Look straight at me.

Nora: (going to the table on the right) I shouldn’t think of going against your wishes.

Helmer: No, I am sure of that: besides, you gave me your word- (Going up to her) Keep your little Christmas
secrets to yourself, my darling. They will be revealed tonight when the Christmas tree is lit, no doubt.

Nora: Did you remember to invite Doctor Rank?

Helmer: No. But there is no need; as a matter of course, he will come to dinner with us. However, I will ask
him when he comes this morning. I have ordered some good wine. Nora, you can’t think how I am looking
forward to this evening.

Nora: So am I! And how the children will enjoy themselves, Torvald!

Helmer: It is splendid to feel that one has a perfectly a safe appointment, and a big enough income. It
is Delightful to think of, isn’t it?

1. UFAHAMU: (Alama 15)

Soma kifungu kifuatacho kisha ujibu maswali yanayofuatia
Mateso ya wanawakiwa ni suala la kijamii linalofaa kutazamwa kwa darubini kali.
Hata hivyo wanaoathirika zaidi ni watoto ambao bado wako katika umri unaohitaji kulelewa
na kupewa mahitaji ya msingi kama mavazi, malazi, elimu na mengine anuwai. Hali ya
kuachwa na wazazi imekuwa ikizikumba jamii tangu enzi za mababu na kila itokeapo,
wanajamii huipokea kwa mitazamo tofautitofauti, hivyo kuwafanya wanawakiwa kuathirika
sana.
Baadhi ya jamii zina imani za kijadi pamwe na mila zilizochakaa zinazozifanya
kuamini kuwa baadhi ya vifo hutokana na laana. Wengine huchukulia kuwa mwendazake
ameondolewa na ulozi. Imani kama hizi huifanya jamii kuwatia watoto walioachwa katika
mkumbo ule ule, hivyo kuwaangalia kwa macho yasiyo ya kawaida. Hili husababisha dhana
gande. Hali hii husababisha kuwachukulia watoto kama wanaotoka katika kizazi
kilicholaaniwa. Jamii basi hukosa kuwapa watoto hawa stahiki yao. Hata wanapojitahidi
kuiwania nafasi yao, waliowazunguka huwavunja mioyo. Jitihada zao huishia kuwa si
chochote kwa kuwa jamii inawatazama kama waliolaaniwa.
Punde baada ya mzazi mmoja au wote wawili waendapo wasikorudi, inatarajiwa
kwamba aliyeachiwa mtoto, awe mzazi wake, mwanafamilia au jirani awajibike na
kumtunza mwanamkiwa. Kunao kadha wa kadha wanaowajibika – ninawavulia kofia. Hata
hivyo wengi hutelekeza jukumu hili walilopewa na Muumba. Si ajabu basi kuona kuwa
idadi ya watoto wanaozurura mitaani inazidi kuongezeka kila uchao. Ukichunguza utakuta
kuwa wengi wa watoto hawa ni waliopotelewa na wazazi wao. Inakera zaidi kugundua
kuwa baadhi ya watoto hawa wana mzazi mmoja. Kwamba mke au mume wa mtu ameaga,
au iwe kwamba mzazi mmoja alimzaa mtoto na kumwachia mwenzake mzigo wa ulezi,
aliyeachiwa ana jukumu la kumpa mwanawe mahitaji ya msingi. Machoni pa Jalali, kila
anayeupuuza wajibu huu ana hukumu yake siku ya kiama!
Ni haki ya kila mtoto kupata elimu. Katika katiba ya Kenya mathalan, elimu ya
msingi, yaani kuanzia shule ya chekechea had kidato cha nne ni ya lazima. Tangu hapo
hata hivyo, jamii zimekuwa zikiwanyima wanawakiwa wengi elimu. Kwamba kunao
wachache wanaowaelimisha baadhi ya wanawakiwa, ni kweli. Hata hivyo, wengi hukosa
hata wa kuwapeleka katika shule ya chekechea, hivyo kuishia kutojua hata kuandika majina
yao. Mfikirie mtu katika karne ya 21, asiyejua kusoma wala kuandika! Nani ajuaye, huenda
huyo mwanamkiwa asiyepelekwa shuleni ndiye angalikuwa profesa, daktari, mwalimu,
rubani au msomi mtajika na mtaalamu wa uwanja muhimu katika jamii!
Kila mtoto ana haki ya kulelewa hadi kufikia utu uzima kabla ya kupewa majukumu
mazito. Katika katiba ya Kenya, utu uzima, ulio umri wa kuanza kufanya kazi huanzia
miaka 18. Wanaohakikisha watoto hawa wametimiza utu uzima kabla ya kufanyishwa
gange ngumu wanafaa pongezi. Hata hivyo wanawakiwa wamekuwa wakitumiwa na wengi
kama punda wa huduma. Wanaaila wengine huwachukua wanawakiwa kwa machozi mengi
wazazi wao waagapo nakuapa kuwahifadhi na kuwatunza wana wale wa ndugu zao, kumbe
ni machozi ya simba kumlilia swara! Hata kabla ya mwili wa mzazi mhusika kuliwa na
viwavi, mateso kwa mtoto yule huanza, akawa ndiye afanyaye kazi zote ngumu. Utakuta
watoto wao wamekaa kama sultan bin jerehe huku mwanamkiwa yule akiwapikia, kuwafulia
nguo, kudeki, karibu hata awaoshe miili! Kazi kama zile za shokoa huwa za sulubu na
aghalabu husindikizwa kwa matusi yasiyoandikika.
Baadhi ya waja walionyimwa huruma huwahadaa wanawakiwa na kuwapeleka
ng’ambo wakitumia vyambo, kuwa wakifika kule watapata kazi za kifahari. Maskini wale
hushia kushikwa shokoa, wakawa watumwa katika nyumba za waajiri wao, bila namna ya
kujinasua. Wengine hushia kutumiwa kama watumwa wa ‘kimapenzi’ katika madanguro,
miili yao ikawa ya kuuziwa makahaba waroho wasiojali utu. Kujinasua kule huwa sawa na
kujitahidi kuokoa ukuni uliokwishageuka jivu, maadamu wanawakiwa aghalabu hukosa
watu wenye mioyo ya huruma ya kuwashughulikia. Wengi huitumia methali ‘mwana wa
ndugu kirugu mjukuu mwanangwa’ kuwapuuzilia mbali wanawakiwa ambao hukimbiliwa tu
wabinafsi hawa wanapofaidika wenyewe.

2. UFUPISHO: (Alama 15)
Soma kifungu kifuatacho kisha ujibu maswali
Runinga kama kifaa kingine chochote cha mawasiliano kina manufaa yake. Kwanza
kabisa, ni nyenzo mwafaka ya kufundishia. Vipindi vinavyopeperushwa katika runinga
huwa na mafunzo kemkemu kwa mtu wa kila rika. Halikadhalika, runinga huweza kuleta
vipindi ambavyo huwafahamisha watu mambo yanayoendelea katika mazingira yao na
duniani. Aidha, runinga ikitumika pamoja na michezo ya video huauni katika ukuzaji na
ustawishaji wa stadi ya kujifundisha au kujielimisha. Michezo ya video, hasa ya kielimu,
huwafanya watu kujenga umakini pamoja na kuchua misuli ya ubongo na kuwafanya watu
kuwa macho wanapofanya kazi.
Fauka ya hayo, televisheni ni chemchemi bora ya kutumbuiza na kuchangamsha.
Hakuna mtu asiyependa kuchangamshwa. Televisheni ni mojawapo ya vyombo mwafaka
vya kutekeleza hayo kutokana na vipindi vyake. Uburudishaji huu huwa ni liwazo kutokana
na shinikizo na migogoro tunayokabiliana nayo kila siku. Uburudishaji huu hupatikana kwa
urahisi majumbani mwetu.
Vivyo hivyo, runinga hutumika kama nyenzo ya kuendeleza utamaduni, kaida na
amali za jamii. Vingi vya vipindi vya runinga huwa ni kioo ambacho huakisi mikakati na
amali za jamii.
Kwa upande mwingine, hakuna kizuri kisichokuwa na dosari. Licha ya manufaa
yake, televisheni imedhihirika kuwa na udhaifu wake. Kwanza, baadhi ya vipindi vya
runinga na video hujumuisha ujumbe usio na maadili, kama vile matumizi ya nguvu za
mabavu, ngono za kiholela, lugha isiyo ya adabu, ubaya wa kimavazi na maonevu ya rangi,
dini, jinsia, kabila na utamaduni. Si ajabu kuwa baadhi ya vijana wetu wanaiga baadhi ya
mambo haya. Vijana wetu siku hizi wameingilia ulevi wa pombe na afyuni, ngono za
mapema kabla ya ndoa na mavazi yanaowaacha takribani uchi wa mnyama. Wengi
wamekopa na kuyaiga haya kutoka katika runinga. Ukiwauliza wafanyacho, watakujibu
kuwa ni ustaarabu kwani wameupata katika runinga.
Matumizi ya runinga na michezo ya video yasiyodhibitiwa huweza kuwa kikwazo
cha mawasiliano bora miongoni mwa familia. Matumizi kama haya huwapa wanafamilia
fursa ya kujitenga. Imedhihirika kuwa runinga haichangii kujenga uhusiano bora wa
kijamii. Ukilinganisha na vyombo vingine vya burudani ambavyo hutoa nafasi ya watu
kutangamana na kujenga uhusiano bora, televisheni haichangii haya. Badala yake, tajriba ya
televisheni huwa ya kibinafsi. Hali hii inapotokea katika kiwango cha familia, televisheni
inaweza kutenganisha wazazi na watoto wao.
Halikadhalika, runinga na video aghalabu hueneza maadili yasiyofaa. Mathalani,
baadhi ya vipindi vya televisheni huendeleza hulka ya kuhadaa, ngono za kiholela,
kuvunjika kwa ndoa, n.k. Hulka hizi zisizoendeleza maadili ya kijamii huchukuliwa kama
zinazofaa na zinazofuatwa na waliostaarabika. Huu ni upotovu.
Isitoshe, baadhi ya matangazo huhimiza matumizi ya dawa za kulevya kama tembo
na sigara. Vitu hivi vinapotangazwa, hupambwa kwa hila na udanganyifu mwingi ambao
huwavutia vijana na watoto wengi. Si ajabu mtu anapouliza wanaotumia vileo hivi
walivyoanza, watajibu kutokana na athari za matangazo katika runinga na vyombo vingine.
Utafiti umeonyesha kuwa vipindi vya runinga na video ni chanzo cha matumizi ya
nguvu za mabavu miongoni mwa wanafunzi. Wazazi wengi huchukulia vibonzo katika
televisheni kuwa vinalenga kuburudisha tu na havina ubaya wowote. Lakini ukweli ni kuwa
vipindi vingi vya vibonzo hushirikisha matumizi ya hila na nguvu za mabavu. Haya
huibusha hamu ya vijana na watoto huyaiga.
Kwa hivyo, ni muhimu wazazi na jamii kutambua madhara ya televisheni. Utambuzi
huu utawafanya wawaelekeze vijana na watoto jinsi ya kutumia televisheni na video ili
kuepukana na madhara yake.

Viumbe tu hali gani!
Ni kipi kilotuliya, tuwazeni na kudumba,
Mandovu kiangaliya, yagongana na masimba,
Fisi wako hali gani!

Hata papa baharini, tufani limewakumba,

Walioko mikondoni, kila mmoja asamba,
Dagaa wa hali gani!

Mashehe wa mdaduwa, kwa ubani na uvumba,

Daima alfajiri na mapema
Hunipitia na jembe na kotama
Katika njia iendayo Kondeni
Kama walivyofanya babuze zamani;
Nimuonapo huwa anatabasamu
Kama mtu aliye na hamu
Kushika mpini na kutokwa jasho
Ili kujikimu kupata malisho.

Anapotembea anasikiliza
Videge vya anga vinavyotumbuiza
Utadhani huwa vimemngojea
Kwa usiku kucha kuja kumwimbia
Pia pepo baridi kumpepea
Rihi ya maua zikimtetea
Nao umande kumbusu miguuni;

Na miti yote hujipinda migogo

Kumpapasa, kumtoa matongo;
Na yeye kundelea kwa furaha
Kuliko yeyote ninayemjua
Akichekelea ha ha ha ha ha ha …….

Na mimi kubaki kujiuliza

Kuna siri gani inayomliwaza?
Au ni kujua au kutojua?
Furaha ya mtu ni furaha gani?
Katika dunia inayomhini?
Ukali wa jua wamnyima zao
Soko la dunia lamkaba koo;
Dini za kudhani zamsonga roho
Ayalimia matumbo ya waroho.
Kuna jambo gani linalomridhisha?
Kama si kujua ni kutojua
Lait angalijua, laity angalijua!
