One’s life is a gigantic role-plying episode. At any one time in life, we are playing or assuming a particular role. How well and successful we sail through the hurdles of this life depends then on how well we play our roles along the line. For example in any learning process, there is the speaker and the listener. You are either playing the role of a teacher speaking or the student listening, you are either writing or reading what somebody wrote. Role-playing is thus an integral part of human existence. A great teacher – Thomas Emerson wrote, “It takes two to speak the truth. One to speak and the other to listen.” Speaking and listening make up a profitable conversation again in speaking; there is the broadcasting station and the receiving station. Progress thus depends really on how each of these stations plays their roles.
A broadcasting station that sends out the wrong messages or the right messages in the wrong way is as good as no station at all and could be a danger to the growth of the receiving station. In the same way, the Broadcasting station with a good methodology, communication skills and enriching messages would just be as good as a Rev. Pastor in the cockpit of a jet bomber if there is no receiving station turned to the right channel to receive the information.
Receiving the right information is just as important as acting upon that information to realize positive results other wise the learning process would have no meaning. Good information well received should be able to set into motion the right actions and modalities of attaining desirable results otherwise, it becomes another species of seeds falling on rocky grounds as Jesus’ parable of the Sower tells us.
Today the world over, we are leaving in another Noah’s era with a gigantic flood. Unlike that of Noah’s time, it’s most devastating and dangerous. HIV/AIDS is the flood I’m talking about. The statistics are frightening, according to the global estimates by UNAIDS, 40 million adults and children were living with HIV/AIDS at the end of 2001 and of this number, as much as 28,500,000 are found in Sub-Saharan Africa alone. 5 million people were infected with HIV and 3 million died of AIDS in 2001 the world over.
UNAIDS goes pathetically to say that at the end of 2001 world wide, out of the:
1. 5 million people infected with HIV, 800 000 were children aged 15.
2. 40 million people living with HIV/AIDS, 3 million where children aged 15.
3. 3 million people dead from AIDS, 580,000 were children aged 15.
To worsen the situation, AIDS had orphaned 14 million children worldwide at the end of 2001. How does it feel like to imagine 14 million children living without a parent?
Frightening statistics as such confirm to us that the answer to any question demanding whether a cure is around the horizon remains a firm no. We would have loved to think that a cure is possible now or may be we keep dreaming of a future vaccine that will render AIDS history. Whatever our state of mind is, the truth is that HIV rages on. It has already devastated Africa. It's on a rampage in Eastern Europe, and it's getting out of control in parts of China and India. Asia as a whole is the only region apart from Sub-Saharan Africa today with more people living with HIV/AIDS than any other region on earth.
The HIV rains are extremely heavy and so the AIDS floods are sweeping through all the corridors of the earth already. I am just afraid that before we have time to build an ark like that of Noah, everything would have been watched away. Even if we did, there might not be the available pair of humans to put into the ark, as all would have been bed ridden by the AIDS.
Being able to construct an accommodating ark and getting inside in time would depend on how much we have tuned our receiving stations to capture the instructions and messages from the broadcasting stations. Noah succeeded to get all that was needed in his ark because he had tuned his receiving station to God’s broadcasting station. He was there to receive every bit of information and instruction that God gave him and most importantly, he was ready to act upon this information to produce the ark. That is why he survived the flood.
How many of us today have turned our receiving stations to the stations broadcasting information on preventing HIV/AIDS. How many of us have that burning desire to assume the role of readers, listeners or students to learn what this mysterious disease is all about? We find ourselves fighting and enemy we don even know. Our receiving stations especially in the third world are tuned to other things; we worry over politics, militarism and false democracy. We hang around power and worry over territorial boundaries while giving little attention to the fundamental aspects of our lives – health.
It’s time we recognize that HIV/AIDS knows no boundaries. It infiltrates into the most secret sectors of the governments and countries, it mingles within politics, obliterates power. Aggravate the repercussions of war and crosses national and international boundaries unnoticed despite what the frontier guards might think – why not HIV requires no passport or visa.

Writer Profile
Crystal_Abongta
Abongta is my name, some people especially writers choose to call me Crystal Brain. I am 28yrs old and a proud Cameroonian, who insists in seeing things in a slightly different perspective. I have a passion for satire thus my artistic works bring out that aspect in me which is most often kept in the catacomb of my being.
The tyrannical society, in which I grew up, shaped me into what I am today. My works especially the paintings serves as a major outlet without which I would better not exist.
