Umoja!! , Heshima

These are two words which could solve alot of problems in the world, Umoja is the swahili word for Unity and Heshima Is the word fro respect. Now it is said that man is the most advanced species on earth because he of all creatures on this earth has the ability of creatibe intellectand the ability to adapt and evlove with the times.. And most of all he was able to suppress most animal instincts and use them to his advantage. But somewhere along the way we have strayed from the aprt and now we are no better than the common ape in the jungle infact the average chimp is propably more moral than the average human. what are we but advanced apes with technolgy and flashu gadgtes which we use to inflict pain on each other due to our in ability to resolve petty squabbles and differences in views and religion, opinions etc. We are sadly unable to unite or respect each other at least a majority of us anyway. and I am as guilty as you are.

Religion was established not to glory in god aalone . it was the one thinmg that set us apart from the animals. It was instituted to lead and inspire man to greater achiebements and quell is natural animalistic desires o. but sadly this does not happen in the name of religion some off histories greatest atrocities have been committed .. Let me be clear on one point this is in no way the religions fault the falut lies in mans own interpretation which he was coloured by his greed and selfishnes.
You might be wondering why I am voicing my opinions thus.. well the simple reason is this Religion is but only one of the many reasons we humans fight each other. In the country I come fromthere are 3 main languages one of which is English the other 2 being spoken by 2 different racial groups aS they put it.. (There another thing that really bugs me whta with this whole race thing do not all of us belong to the human race.. why do we fracture ourselves by dividing our brother by the colour of their skin, the religion they follow and the tounge they speak, we further divide by the place they come from , the amount of money they have etc.. divide divide divide thats all we do .. IT MAKES ME SICK )
wEll back to my story in my country we have been fightin a civil war which was sparked due to differences between the 2 opther language speakers.. sure they might have been other reasons but the lack of understanding and mutual respect was the leading cause for hostilities. anyway tht aside .. now our people are looking towards peaces after a near 20 years of bloddshed.. you wpuld think that having realised theire mistakes people would take steps to seperate religionand language brriers and seek integration ..well no they dont what they sek is to further widen thhe chasm between eah other..
Just this week a group of one of the previously mentionedsuppose racial groups wanted to organize a religiuos observance related to them which was all fine .. until they brought up the reason.. Supposedly our Uni only celbrates christmas ad that not accpetable because ther are other religions at The Uni.. This argument is flawed beacaue there only celebration at Uni for x'mas in the christmas party and there is nothing religious about it. This just shows this group is just trying to cause problems by bringing in traditions that will just spark friction between groups at uni I mean FOR ONCE CAN WE LEAVE RELIGION OUTSIDE AND NOT BRING IT IN WE ARE HER TO LEARN NOT BLOODY RUN AROUND DOING OTHER STUFF.
The absolute worse part is that the gropu organizing say this is a religious observance and then they want 2 have a party afterwards the utter gall of these cretin they would bastarsize the solemnity of the occasion with such frivolous display shows that their intentions are not what they say them to be..
Now I am not the most religious person butI say in these hallowed halls of learning let us leave aside all this rubbish of language , cast , creed and race .. and find Umoja and Heshima for each otheR
Frankly I believe without unity our race is doomed for early extinction and well maybe thtats a good thing..
