''no one is a thing''

In a religious education lesson, standard five, in master five primary school, the religious education teacher was teaching the love that true Christians should have and embrace. The teacher asked this question to the pupils, do to true love exist in our families? Pupils responded with different answers others yes, others what is true love, we do not know, etc. The class was like a market and the lesson ended with an assignment for pupils to go and find out what is true love and the best example that true love indeed exist .

On the next encounter, so many answers were give and tutor hardly found the best example that actually portrayed a true scenario. Just before the teacher gave her story, one boy, who seemed fearful, coward and weak, stood up. Looked very sure and certain with what he was just to spit, other pupils could listen to him because they knew if they do not know no one else knows. The boy remained hard and he described what true love is and gave this example…there is true love between me and my dog tom,(other pupils loved at him loudly then kept quiet). sometime I beat him up properly and when I call him he come running twisting his tail and jumping up over me, a sign of love, he does not keep the bad thing I do to him, he forgets. We are good friend. That how true should be. The boy sat down and the teacher congratulated him for his brilliant contribution. The teacher added, that’s beat mine I will not add anything more. It is straight and to the point.

Moral lesson

1) Everyone’s contribution is important

2) We are intellectually different

3) No one knows it all, no one is a know it all

4) Everyone should be given a chance, we do not what important they have

5) Discrimination can lead to failure and lack of knowledge
