We live in a
world where we are encouraged to voice our thoughts freely but they aren’t
really welcomed even by those who encourage us to speak up.
Who are you,
where you from (ingane kabana le *in Kenneth Nkosi’s voice*) is always a
factor. No-one is interested on what you
gonna say if you don’t have a famous surname or you not in the showbiz or hold
a prominent job.
What bugs me
the most is seeing people who say Tamkhulu Rolihlahla Mandela is their role
model and you don’t see an inch of Tamkhulu’s trait in them. We all know he
embodied humility, love and respect for people regardless of their
backgrounds. So if you say to me he
inspires you, I at least expect you to emulate ubuntu bakhe and fall short on
the rest ke.
We are a
materialistic generation that worships those who have already made it. Maybe we
think it would rub off on us, shame!
I'm a bit
confused or lost to be precise. It’s human nature to take what flatters you and
leave inyani ikujongesweni than doing the right thing.
It’s more of
show me what you've got before you speak. We are bullied into silence. It's
like you are not expected to know right from wrong if you not financially
stable. People tend to value those who have money more.
I'm a vocal
being. You can't say something I disagree with and expect me shut up (unless
the Holy Ghost tells me to) but I found myself withdrawing from pointless
arguments and unhealthy debates especially when I see peeps are abusing their
authority.
I wish I could just scream and tell people to
grow up and treat human beings equally. Not based on the digit on people’s bank
account nani nani. God the father created us in His image and likeness that’s
enough for us to love, support and respect each other.
Anyway
ibukukucinga nje apha kum!!!
