Which is the killer of another? Conservatism or radicalism? side by side every stand has its own pro and cons. But the aspect of collective responsibility is highly laudable here. Resources being shared equally to all and sundry. Solutions reaching out on appointed time, and that respect on communal asserts such as land that was not easily tempered thus proving security of the family for both subsistence or a family being rendered destitute because of the selfish thinking of one person who things has what it takes more than other present living members.
Matters have to be discussed extensively amongst the concerned before a certain duty was carried out. We so much buy into the thinking of Archbishop Desmond Tutu views on solving African problems. Let us be burden bearers to our brothers who are held back because of this or that is what the old man was trying to put across in his message to the people. Individualism has set its feet fast in the land and quickly depleting the basic social structure to extend that someone can easily by pass a sick child who is struggling with his/her life.
Because of again our diminished care, major streets in our various towns are lambasted with a number of street children who needs everyone's attention in reaching out for them to provide alternative shelter. As if that is not enough, cases of abandoned children whether in hospitals or dump sites are also rampant in our current society. Our hearts have weaned from being humane and instead filled with contempt,. prejudice and individualism. A contemporary human being is disfigured and deformed in a certain way
In a way, we are pushed from the correct position where we are supposed to stand as a community. Pressure as many will want to assert is a pure scapegoat but for how long will circumstances determine how we should live? Let us think again regarding how we approach life in our modern days.
