The morality (good or bad) of all living things (human and non-human) is dependent on each community, their current orientations, values and laws because, “without laws there is no sin in human communities”. What is sin or evil in one human community is morality or good in another community. Similarly, what may be sin in one generation of a community may not represent sin in another generation of the same community.
The reality of sin and how God forgives us is that we forgive ourselves and feel remorse for private sins, while we forgive one another when we sin against other people in the open. God does not have time watching all living things including more than eight billion humans for forgiveness and punishment, because, He is busy creating more things in other planets. Your sins or good deeds depending on the circumstance you executed it, may result in negative or positive (good or bad) consequences for you.
Humans must also realize that some positive things are pregnant with negative content and more responsibilities, so do not over celebrate. Negativity is also pregnant with some positives, therefore search before you dump. Similarly, your brain, talent and skill as developed by your mother and fathers genetic gift to you, help you to decide what actions (right or wrong) to take in every situation. The result of your decision is the consequence of your choice in that circumstance. Some negative decisions can spur you to bigger success, while some positive decisions can be the beginning of so many problems. Accept responsibility for your decisions “negative or positive” and stop blaming others or believing that God loves you more than others. It is advisable to be humble, so that you can transform your decisions for better success. Just be natural and careful.
ARE YOU AWARE THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF HUMAN “CHARACTERS” IN NATURE?
There are three types of human characteristics in nature. This natural categorization of human characters is different from the social classification of humans into two distinct groups that is based on material achievements known as the bourgeois (the rich class) and proletariat (the poor class).
The first classification of human character in nature is called the “appetizers”. This is the most dominant groups in all human communities. They are the group that would praise anything that is popular in their societies because of their stomach (food and money). All their purpose in life is about surviving today, tomorrow is not their concern. The-appetizers are 95% of human population. The second group of character is the “guardians”. This group is made up of people who are natural soldiers, protectors and warriors of human communities. They constitute 3% of all human societies. Last but not the least, are the “philosophers”. These are the people who think deeply for the future and safety of their societies. They are the group that teaches other people how to sow or fish to protect individual or societal freedom. The philosophers are not common and are about 2% of all human population. Below is the analysis of how the various types, of humans behave or act naturally (exhibition of character).
1. THE APPETIZERS- Sense in the stomach (Money, affluence and luxury)
These are people whose senses are in their stomach (greedv), they are the most numerous in all human communities, usually about 95%. Though consumers (eaters), they make the world interesting by creating fun and excitement out of any existing orientation created by philosophers. For the appetizers, any existing situation will never change because of the pleasure, materialism and promise of excitement they derive from it, even when it is obvious that change is the only constant factor in human existence. Most religions refer to the appetizers as “hypocrites”. They can easily attack anybody that speaks against what is popular, because they fear change, even when they are suffering in their current orientation. Appetizers praise anything they hope will bring material comfort and luxury. They are not permanent friends of anybody or institution.
CHARACTERISTICS OF APPETIZERS
1. Their orientation is about money, food luxuries and what is popular.
2. The ultimate desire of appetizers is to fill their stomach today, even when such would destroy their future and society.
3. The appetizers are constituted by both the richest and the poorest. They are the industrialist, administrators, investors, politicians, philanthropists, academicians, religious leaders, including the merchants and the economically disadvantaged groups (poor). They are 95% of humanity,
4. They are connected to all levels of societies. Be it evil or good people, bad or good government, including good and bad policies. All their beliefs are aimed at their stomach, materialism, luxury and money. Their sole aim in any endeavour is economic benefits.
5. Appetizers go after everything that is popular for the sake of material prosperity. An appetizer will take the first fight to escape whenever problems arise. This group believes that wealth and leadership are synonymous. Hence, the poor among them always insist on leadership by the rich, and not the philosophical and ideological leadership that benefits societies.
6. They have no interest in the future but today. Appetizers have no patience to assist a failing society, religion or government. They switch easily to new institution, religion or government, praising the new host, until the host fails, and their journey continues somewhere else for the sake of their stomach or economic empowerment. They rarely believe that what is popular today can change tomorrow.
2. THE GUARDIANS (Sense in the chest)
These are people whose senses are in their chest (bravery). This class of people is about 3% in any human society. They are the protector of their communities under any condition especially during crisis.
B. CHARACTERISTICS OF GUARDIANS
1. They are the natural soldiers that protect human societies.
2. The guardians love their societies so much that when invaded by enemies, they do not run but fight to protect others.
3. When at war, injuries do not scare them. They are always eager to return to the battle line, even when their earlier injuries are yet to heal.
4. Guardians are natural soldiers and defenders; they are unlike those who are enlisted in the military, just so they can be employed.
3. THE PHILOSOPHERS (sense in the head)
These are people whose senses are in their head. This class of people is only 2% in any human community. Their function is to think deeply to restore the glory of their societies despite treats and persecutions from those they are trying to save.
B. CHARACTERISTICS
1. The philosopher loves C1urable development and concentrates on progressive thinking for future societies. The philosopher plans and prepares for the future hence; they are referred to as “People horn before their time”. They teach others how to sow or fish (preparing for the future).
2. The philosophers hate oppression, and easily plan new orientation to save people from bondage or doom.
3. They hate inferiority, subordination and slavery
4. The preoccupation of this set of people is about planning term solutions and durable development for their societies not self. They hate materialism even though they may not be lacking.
5. A philosopher can sacrifice everything for his society, which usually does not understand his intentions hence}he is controversial.
6. Philosophers are natural leaders. Until societies have them to lead, a deteriorating society may not recover or grow.
7 Philosophers are visionary thinkers for the future, who suffer the laughter and persecution of the ignorant majority in their societies.
AFRI-BlACK-XIT
(BLACK MIGRATION FROM INFERIORITY AND SLAVERY)
Black people, it is time we remove from our ‘memories’ all the negative experiences of slavery, chains of oppression and inferiority to foreigners, in other to restore Black man’s economic power and dignity.
A NATURAL SLAVE IS HE WHO REFUSES TO LET GO THE ((LANGUAGE AND IDEOLOGY” HIS SLAVE MASTER USED TO ENSLAVE HIM. WHEN ASKED TO REPOSITION HIS LIFE, HE WILL PUT FOREIGNERS FIRST AND HIMSELF (VALUES, ORIENTATION, CULTURE AND LANGUAGE) AT THE BACK. BLACK MAN’S GLOBAL POVERTY IS DEFINTELY SELF-IMPOSED.
African leaders must stop sitting on the fence and take after the Chinese, Indians and Arabians, who abandoned foreign cultures after colonialism to develop their own. There is nothing wrong in learning from foreigner’s values and ‘cultures as long as it does not over ride your (African) values and orientations.
If Black leaders and people can exit our total dependence on foreigners cultures and close our eyes to foreign opulence or luxuries for a season; we shall emerge stronger to lead the modern world.
