recall how an African adage (amongst a plethora of others)  defines life. This particular one regards the act of living (Life) as merely a loan from Mother Nature which is repaid in full when the last breath has expired. This does sound harsh,  pessimistic and unencouraging, but it's actually meant to advise us that materialism is a bowl of vanity while also warning us about the futility of all human flaws especially greed, wickedness, discrimination etc. At the root of this particular saying is a call to action demanding for a better outlook on life and seeking decency in human behaviour https://www.gogettersblog.com/2023/09/15-links-to-create-your-wealth.html
