Let us be the change we want to see in the world, and the more we share the truth, the more we become aware and act consciously for the benefit of us all. People of the world especially africans, wake up and take responsibility for oneself. Stop trying to get material things and let us go back to our humble ways of life- Community-sharing-caring-celebrating-praying-singing and dancing together---
The continent of Africa has so much wisdom to offer the world, but it's people are losing sight of this wisdom and being blinded so deeply by the western world. Our leaders are carelessly distributing the natural resources and pocketing the profits while their people suffer. This must stop, but only by educating the people to know what is really going on around the continent. The Africa people need to unite and be responsible. The time has come for us to stop relying on the governments to get things done. The brainwash that has come in forms of religions and civilization is so deep that we need to have compassion in the way we reintroduce the subject of humble living. Do not dis-regard GOD but let's put religion aside and come back together as a people to remember our role in the natural world. I miss the days when we grew food for our consumption, the days of harvest celebrations or the unison singing during sowing, the laughter of children in the evening as we listened to tales of ogres and magic, the days spent in the forest collecting resources that we needed to live.
I sit back and look at the world, all this material stuff that comes at a terrible cost for our planet and still no peace or happiness among the masses; but still we want more and more and in it we continue to exploit our planet, our home.
It doesn't matter if you live in a shack, a mansion or a tree house, when our environment can no longer support us, we are all victims alike. Wake up WORLD, we can reverse this brain wash way of living. Remember a time not so long ago when everything we used was biodegradable? or maybe you have heard of it. I for one lived in the last era of such a time. No one was poor, no one was rich, we just lived a peaceful communal life. It will take a very long time to clean up the damage we have done to our planet, but we can do it, if not for us, for the generations to come. We are the ancestors of tomorrow, let us work on leaving behind a legacy of humble living. If not, well our demise will slowly but surely continue to unfolding and we can't deny the effects anymore.... God have mercy on us!
