Pati to Existence My Courageous Journey

The Covid pandemic forced many of us into a standstill and complete isolation for long periods in 2020. For the author, this time of silence became the opportunity of embarking on a spiritual journey which brought him back to his origins. Born in 1981 in Setlagole, a village in the Northwest province, from a family of nine children who were too soon orphaned of both parents, young Pati became familiar with the hardships of life from a very early age. Through the re-visitation of his painful memories, and the analysis of the steps and the choices that determined his personal growth, the author addresses some of the most complex features and interrogatives of human existence: the reasons behind our birth and our death, the meaning of pain, the importance of living a purposeful life, the triggers of human resilience and the healing power of forgiveness. While writing of the adventure that led him to leave a very poor area of the country to travel to Johannesburg in search for better material opportunities, the author also describes the deep internal transformations that came with the change.
Despite the sadness evoked by the recollection of a life where the material and emotional needs of a young person for various reasons were not responded to, this book contains a comforting message of hope, which comes from the clear and net rejection by the author of being confined within the fences of victimhood. Pateletso rather chose to be empowered by the awareness that, no matter our conditions, human beings hold an infinite spiritual power that, if mastered with knowledge and accountability, will lead each of us to happiness, through the fulfillment of our unique purpose.
