Very grateful and very appreciative to this great masterpiece, as a child growing up in an open society/community, where faces were so familiar to the extent, it discerned on us some sense of security as everybody knows everybody, neighbors knowing neighbors, cordially sending a sense of guilt when a neighbor throws a party and doesn't invite the other neighbor, why was is it so beautiful back then and even to date? The reason is, in case of any immediate help or emergency, neighbors calls on their neighbors to help not the rest of friends living twenty hours away from you.
Community sharing in regards to respecting anyone who is older than you, anyone older than you can discipline another to do the right thing, they don't have to be your parents before listening to them, if you don't listen and run telling your parents you have disrespected an elderly person, you parents will have to walk you to the elderly person, investigate the matter, if the child was wrong which was always the case, discipline is meted out to this child from the parents right in front of the elderly person, if not apologies are rendered to the elderly person which will eventually lead to the two adults who just met because of that incident becoming friends.
I was bashed, whipped and told many times to always speak the truth and respect my elders, little did I know, growing up will be very different speaking the truth just as my parents taught me and realizing speaking the truth will rather land me in trouble and bring me an enemies.
Did my parents, elders and all the community leaders tell me the truth? Guess no, personally, they turned the story around, reason why, there's no truth in this world. Very difficult to keep track of all those who speak and tell the truth, they are always on the run or either getting killed in mysterious ways. The world today thrives on lies. I guess, you keep on dreaming, don't wake me up, if it's a lie, don't tell me the truth, because what the truth will do is going to hurt my heart.
Where are those who speak the TRUTH?
