Embracing Suffering by Vincent Dania

Suffering is an inevitable part of life. It is not limited to poverty or lack, but also includes the emotional pain of losing a loved one, witnessing the struggles of others with diseases, experiencing injustice, and seeing it inflicted upon others. 

While some may argue that suffering can be avoided through religious beliefs or the promise of a heaven on earth, the reality is that suffering is a natural part of the human experience. For instance, no matter how much you love and care for your spouse, the chances of both of you passing away at the same time are slim, leaving one to cope with the emotional pain of living without the other.

Even those who are financially comfortable and blessed with abundance will not be able to help every member of their community. The sight of others suffering and lacking basic necessities can also take an emotional toll on us.

It is important, therefore, that we prepare ourselves for the joys and sufferings that come with living, rather than living in the delusion that life is always filled with pleasure. By accepting that suffering is a part of life, we can learn to cope with it in a healthier and more resilient manner. This does not mean that we should resign ourselves to suffering or stop striving for happiness, but rather that we should approach life with a realistic and balanced perspective.

Suffering can also have a silver lining, as it can bring us closer to others and teach us valuable lessons about resilience, compassion, and empathy. It can also inspire us to take action and work towards creating a better world for ourselves and those around us.

Suffering is a natural part of life and should be accepted as such. By acknowledging and preparing for it, we can learn to cope with it in a healthy and resilient manner and use it as an opportunity to grow and appreciate the brevity of our time on earth and the gift of life.

The Dark Web Apart from Tor

The Dark Web Apart from Tor The dark web, a subset of the broader Deep Web, is comprised of online content that is not indexed by conventional search engines and requires specialized software or permissions to access. While Tor (The Onion Router) is perhaps the most recognized darknet, there are numerous other anonymity networks, each with its own distinct features and user base (Figueras-Martín, Magán-Carrión, & Boubeta-Puig, 2022). Tor, with its onion routing system, is renowned for its ability to enable users to access websites in the dark web anonymously. However, its popularity has also attracted attention from search engines, which often block access to Tor's onion services. To circumvent these restrictions, services like Tor2web have emerged, allowing users to access Tor onion services without using the Tor Browser (Tor2web, n.d). Aside from Tor, other darknets include I2P, Freenet, ZeroNet, GNUnet, Retroshare, Urbit, and Tribler. Unlike Tor, many of these networks opera...

Scientific Management

  Scientific Management Scientific management is a management theory that analyzes workflows to improve economic efficiency, especially labor productivity. It implies the use of scientific methods in making decisions and acting on organizational problems and situations. This management theory, developed by Frederick Winslow Taylor, was popular in the 1880s and 1890s in U.S. manufacturing industries. While the terms “scientific management” and “Taylorism” are often treated as synonymous, a more accurate view is that Taylorism is the first form of scientific management. Taylorism is sometimes called the “classical perspective,” meaning that it is still observed for its influence but no longer practiced exclusively. Scientific management was best known from 1910 to 1920, but in the 1920s, competing management theories and methods emerged, rendering scientific management largely obsolete by the 1930s. However, many of the themes of scientific management are still seen in industrial eng...

Laws Against Rape in Nigeria

The good book says, “where there is no law, there is no offence” .  In criminal law, there is a principle called Nullum crimen sine lege (Latin for "no crime without law."). It says that a person cannot or should not face criminal punishment except for an act that is criminalized by law before he/she committed it (okay, I promise this is the only legal jargon you’ll see in this article).  Amidst growing and disturbing reports of rape and other sexual and gender-based violence, especially against women and children in Nigeria, there is also growing interest in provisions of the law that provide protection to women and victims of gender-based violence. In contribution to the global awareness campaign for the protection of women from gender-based violence, it is an asset to be knowledgeable on the existing legal framework for protecting the rights of victims and survivors in search of justice. This article also serves as a warning to potential offenders, of the punishment tha...
