Mugabe-Maisha mafupi duniani ni bora zaidi

Rais Robert Mugabe (89) amesema, watu wanataka kuishi miaka mingi lakini hawaishi maisha ya kiroho.

Kiongozi huyo wa Zimbabwe anasema, watu wanaishi maisha ya kimwili, mafupi, na kwamba, maisha ya kiroho ni ya milele.

Hata hivyo mwanasiasa huyo anasema, maisha mafupi duniani ni bora zaidi kwa kuwa, mwanadamu anajielewa, anakutana na wanadamu wenzake, anakuwa na familia, ardhi nk.

President Robert Mugabe yesterday went biblical, saying people wished to live longer but emphasised that only the spiritual life was perpetual.

In an address to mourners at the burial of Enos Nkala, a founding member of Zanu and former Cabinet minister, the 89-year-old Mugabe said people should not worry about where and how they live.

"The pastor said its only transformation (from one life to another), but pastor we are men of flesh, we live not the spiritual life, we live the physical life," Mugabe told mourners at the National Heroes Acre.

"We want our bodies to live life long if they can sustain.

"It's a wish, against God's wish that life can be perpetual… but we live for a short period and the spiritual one is eternal."

In an address lasting for more than one hour, Mugabe, said the shorter life on earth is the one he deems superior.

"But this short one, the one where we interact and we have the consciousness of mind, the one where we are organised, family, land… it's the one that seems to matter more than the other," Mugabe said.

"We have to be taught to realise that it's the inferior life.

"We are men of flesh, if we realise we are just bundles of flesh in this life then we wouldn't worry about where we live and how we live, but God also wants us to worry about this life, because then as we are taught if you live it in accordance to certain rules, then it will save us for the other life."
