Of course, not all sociable people show kindness. On the other hand, you cannot have all compassionate people be gregarious at the same time. That is nature’s mystery, which cannot be fully understood.
However, according to human religion, which is supported by the Bible, the Holy Book, the only person who can solve the puzzle is God, our creator. God created values, just for humans, when he created heaven, earth, and everything in it. Religious teachings explain that, God created values for humans to provide a moral framework for living a purposeful life.
My friend and colleague Julius Caesar Anadem, a popular radio personality in Kumasi, the Garden City of Ghana, is no longer with us. However, his gregarious demeanour and generosity—a unique blend of virtues—remain felt and recalled.
Bro, there is no doubt that your uplifting efforts, friendly interactions, and outspoken support have had a profound impact on the lives of many individuals.
This is demonstrated by the significant impact you had on listeners throughout your Ultimate FM morning broadcasts. Beyond doubt, it conveyed a full, warm, and rich tone that was both audible and captivating enough for listeners to find appealing, when your resonant voice behind the consul strikes my mind’s eye.
Julius Caesar, you are the epitome of what it means to be a good-hearted person, as you were kind, generous, and driven by empathy and understanding. Unquestionably, your consistent application of moral principles and character in your judgements and actions at work reinforced your faith in strong values.
Indeed, your genuine personality, devoid of hatred, treachery, or evil intent, made you a loyal and dedicated friend.
My good friend Julius Caesar, you have paid your dues and left a legacy of consistently enhancing the world through your deeds, convictions, and endeavours. And know that all of your successes and good actions will be remembered and carried on long after you are gone.
There is undoubtedly a big void in the relationship we have developed and nurtured over the years that is challenging to close on both an emotional and practical level. It’s also true that your passing has left a void in the lives of your loved ones and the media industry.
However, we find solace in the belief that when we reunite in paradise, the distance will be bridged.
Rest in peace, my dear friend Julius Caesar.
Writes Emmanuel Amponsah, former Editor of The Spectator & a bosom friend of Julius Caesar
