WHAT WERE OUR ANCESTOR’S VIEW OF THE WORLD? Watajiuliza, “Hivi walikuwa wanajiita waafrika au wadunia?
(one has restrictive borderlines, the other doesn’t)
Is there a difference between the world and the globe?
IDENTITY ISSUE
walisimuliana nini?”
ME IN/AND/WITH THE WORLD Me as a living human being in the borderless, nation-less, nameless world, What’s my duty, my responsibility, my assets, challenges and vision in this globe? Forget your name, forget your country, forget your village, forget your education. What’s your identity’s worth if it were just you and the globe existing? Without your country’s identity, who are you in relation to the globe? If today we are to erase all traces of countries borders and their written histories... would you still perceive the world the same way you do now? How much does national boundaries of today’s world construct your personal identity? What will happen to your identity once you shift positions...left the country, continent? Do you suddenly become another person? Would you see yourself as helpless or more empowered? Would you give it a shot to understand yourself in respect to the globe & not the world? Does it matter (to you or anyone else)...?
Je, tunajiona wenyeji wa nyumba kubwa au ya uani? We are NOT retarded, underdeveloped stage of western nations that will one day grow to be like them if we follow them. We will never invade, plunder, loot and enslave other humans for generations in order to create wealth for ourselves like they did. Blood wealth....rotten to the core. We refuse that. It’s just not in our nature. We are unique people with a specific unique culture and traditions at a unique place, with unique characteristics and we’ll follow our own unique trajectory for our enlightened ubuntu future for all.

The Dominant Narrative
IN DEFENCE OF OUR WAYS OF LIFE…? In the wake of 9/11 attacks, the then president of the United States rallying his nation to support and join him in that foreign “punitive war” against the so called enemies who hate our ways of life. He promise to punish, avenge, defend and protect their ways of life..their ideals of freedom and so on. I’m not sure if his citizens bought his argument about the real reason for the attacks, but we can all agree that there was a legitimate anger and a cry for blood in the quest for revenge to “whoever did this unprovoked attack to us should pay dearly.” It’s understandable to have that kind of reaction given the terror it instill in the population. Now, the interesting part I wanted to explore is the idea that American citizens believing that some foreign lone wolves may be angered so much by their ways of life many kilometres away from their borders...across the massive ocean, in a land where they speak strange language to the point of provoking a war with the mightiest nation on earth, just because they “hate” them is really, laughable. Which way of life exactly did these people hate? Is it their freedom to elect their leaders or their freedom to watch pornography or to legalize gay marriage or to bear arms and curse in public or to take their daughters and wives to movies or driving schools? I always think president Bush deserves more credit than they usually give him. He was neither idiot nor misleading his countrymen. He was telling them the truth...to those who care to look closer. Of course, for those who knows, it was a reason enough to start a war. First you should ask yourself not just “What is the American way of life that Bush was talking about?” but also “How does it come by?” and “How is it supported?” Then you’ll get the full picture of the president’s rationale. Is it moral? Is it just? To who? Does any of that matter? Slave masters don’t care about slave justice…afterall it endangers their (master’s) way of life. Western civilization has been and still is about plunder and loot and is still run by the interest accrued from the proceeds of plunder and loot. When that runs dry, the circle will repeat itself again and again and again. Ask yourself, “what is a true cost of your way of life…to you, to your neighbors and to your environment?”

Let me Tell you How people Fight Wars!! They put a group of young innocent men and women together, They isolate them from the general public and They let them exercise with one another in isolation, They let them spend time together in isolation and They make them really bond with each other. Continuously They fed them with lies and garbage ideas about themselves... against the other and then they take them to the place where they know other young innocent men and women have been kept under The same circumstances and being fed garbage ideas and lies against them They gave them guns and ammunitions and bombs and then They tell them its up to themselves if they want to go back home sooner or later, To see their wives, their husbands, their childrens, their parent, their friends, pets, Their favorite coffee cups, their favorite sports, their favorite sofa and tv shows, And those young men and women thinks of the alternatives they really have, Going back home seems more sensible and probably possible They start to make way for each other to be back home intact Sane minds start doing Insane deeds for that home-coming quest That’s how war is fought. To the real soldiers, it’s neither about Ideals nor about Love Is just a Desperate Act to Get Back Home Alive
