I have not met the Uganda leader of opposition, Prof. Morris Ogenga Latigo in person but watching and listening to him from afar always gave me an impression of a robust, articulate and “refined” man, whom if life was to be a patient on a surgeon’s table, he would carry out every body-cut and organ insertion with sheer precision and diligence.However, watching him being humbled and confined to a stretcher-bed after being involved in a fatal accident really gives one, 1000-plus reasons to really reflect and re-define: What leading a life and living a life is all about.We usually lead a life in which “other people” dictate what our goals and dreams in life should be; "other people" stipulate ways and routes that must lead us to those goals and dreams; when God helps one to reach the "promised land" and we get "hold" of these goals and "collide" with our dreams, "other people" are always at hand to "scold" us back into line so that we don’t get carried away with all the "fame and success".Generally when we lead lives we do so on behalf of "other people", they only difference is that we "wear" the flesh on our bones as others "whip" us into the direction they feel like!BUT: When we live a life (my favourite), we take control of all our decision-making "faculties" and physical-propelling "knobs". We reign over an existence in which we first please our "inner-selves" before trying to please other people….we live a life to the fullest,undeterred and “uncrowded.”When you lead your life according to the "whims" and “tunes” of "other people" you always feel incompetent and you will exit this world “unsatisfied,” BUT if you clearly roll-out rules on which you are to run your life, you will never regret your decisions….BECAUSE THEY MADE YOU WHO YOU ARE NOW!
