Retributive Justice in Fiction: African Prose in Analysis

While we aspire to be just, let us understand that God makes man but man makes himself: the success of man lies in his hands just as his failure is equally his. The secrets of true success are determination, perseverance, uprightness and hardwork. Always bear in mind that "nothing good comes easy." Be positive in your actions so that your enemy's success does not become an embarrassment to you. Thinking is crucial in man's life, for unguarded actions land man into disadvantageous positions. Be the individual which you really are and take actions as an individual. There are bound to be mistakes but we learn from experiences. Nobody is perfect and this is the difference that distinguishes man from God.
