Written in: Grade 10 | Year: 2011

Published On: 2012-01-10

Africa has the richest natural resources and yet we are poor and stagnant in development.

We tend to begin to think about “what if?” rather than “what now?”. Is this bad? Of course, not, it’s human nature. Infact, it’s an aspect that is apart of every being on this planet. From before 3000 BCE to the present, we have never stopped our search to find out how we came here. Who are we? Why are we here? What is my purpose? What is beyond the physical barrier I’m in? These are just a few questions that come to mind when you think about the unknown.
