We have all been forced into the notion of what we are responsible for! A mother or a father is given the task to look and bring up their child so with this mantra we draw our swords! We think that we have brought up a perfect child who can't harm anyone; in short the Sun shines from his or her ass. Because in comparison to other kids we see ours is better by far! Now that's a very subjective reasoning because we all have different values. We all like different things, and cherish different things in difference to literary everything!
There is however a point missed!
Your child dosnt belong to you, he belongs to life and everything that can define the word Life! If parents brought up their kids socially not sociably only, as we all try to do, we will see that the person that comes to you "spouse, friend" as family and be able to solve a or the problem! This is what the African culture was all about! We Are One! Until something cracked.
We are not as smart as the bushman in the film "THE GODS MUST BE CRASY" where after touring the world with its colourful cultures, he still returned back home same as he was! He wanted to throw the bottle back to the world that brought so much dispute in his world. Yeah as Africans we have paid a huge price for accepting the mirror!
Is GOD crazy?
The dispute resolution aspect in the white world has been taken over by the "law" and we have relinquished our parental rights to it when we marry off our kids, but culturally there is the social aspect where a given child violates another's rights, who is he or she to run to? The law? Yes rightfully so that's Divorce, but the law dosnt deal with petty types of issues! If you go to the parent, the parent acts in a guilty manner and fails to address the issue because he or she is now under question as to what moral upbringing did they raise their child with! In order to protect themselves they attack the other and this escalates the need to remove oneself from the pain!
Seek God? We have our doubts towards him coming to solve our earthly needs, except of course the person is spiritual enough to understand how to speak to him! But then we have scared every individual of him, with the image we have created and keep being perpetuated. Christ came to bridge the gap, as an example but we are still confused because we can't understand how is it a human can be the son of God!
As much as every parent is responsible for their child, the society is responsible to bring the person to order. When we bring up kids we tell them don't hit, tell the adult you see, if you are lost go to the police, because taking arms could lead to injury, but what about the injury on the injured who is going to solve that? When he or she now goes public to friends or puts a post on the news paper we cry wolf, that she/he is at fault for airing their pain! If you trace down the line you will find out that the person did the right thing but no one heard him or her at the begining.
Now if we all viewed each other as family we will know that we can go to the next person to ask for help, by that we will kill the SHAME factor that makes everyone defensive!
When we tell someone not to air their dirty laundry, what we actually mean is that we have to be mindful of 3 things,
We have been made to feel we are all sinners, again this word not clearly defined as the nature of sin is still an enigma ie emotions that lead us to being enslaved to life or a person! I define it as HABBIT! Anything you get used to doing and isn't flexible to change will eventualy at some point create tension!
TENTION is the word that leads to sin! Fear, something that we all are born with, its a Force either creates good, or inflicts harm! Remove the word Sin and fear will go! After all the law is trying to solve this issue but dosnt know how to solve the fear of the unknown! Which leads to another set of mental stress for the unbeliever!
In my dictionary Spirituality means "Deep understanding of the matters of Man and the Universe that surrounds him"! How many actually explore these areas well? We all like to swim in shallow waters!
Bottom line is if you love your neighbour as yourself you wouldn't treat him like you would a stranger be he an alien you havnt seen! A guilty person "ignorant" treats anyone including himself as an alien!
The african culture was murdered when we stoped being ONE! Cane where is Abel?
The world just as we individuals are at fault but he who dosnt help himself can't help no one!

- You are in conflict of interest!
- You will get the wrong advice, because no one actually knows How to get a problem solved!
- There is a party that isn't saying the truth!
