If Everyone Does a Little, No One Has to Do a Lot: A Lesson in Collective Responsibility The thoughts have been hitting me hard lately, and I realized I need to get back to blogging on a daily basis. Of course, I’m always doing too much, but I wanted to dedicate some time each day to writing. My idea was to align my blogs with the principles of the Nguzo Saba—so, for example, today being Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), I could write something that connects to that concept. Over time, this content could be compiled into something greater. And speaking of something greater, my family and I are gearing up for a trip to Ghana. That means I’ll be documenting our journey—shoutout to Ms. Sasha, who just got her passport! She’s officially stepping into the world as an international young lady of mystery and leisure. Our trip will take us from Columbus to New York, where we’ll spend a few hours exploring the city before catching a flight to Nairobi, Kenya. We’ll have a long layover there, ...

Zombies

I was thinking about Americas fascination with zombies. I wonder why they seem like the rage of the times. There is zombie shows and movies popping up everywhere, and I cant help but to wonder why? Is the American public enjoying the idea of mindless, twits running around with a bottomless hunger that can never be satisfied. Is subconsciously taking a look at its self in these fantasies. Hell, as i was driving to work I swear a saw a few zombies walking to their nest.  Shit we seem at least to me to be living in a post or maybe current apocalyptic time, in which people are being infected with a mental virus that catapults them into a zombie state. I have witnessed many occasions in which people have shut there thinking off and acted as zombie. I myself am guilty of this shit that I am describing. Christmas is approaching and watch some of the shit the masses do in the name of this holiday.
Zombies are not on the TV or in movie theaters they exist among us, and sometimes are us. When we are driven unthinkingly to fulfill our social responsibilities without thought we are in zombie mode. We don't eat brains, but we do consume useless shit and never seem to get full. We destroy things and people around us without a good reason, just driven by some internal drive that cant be named, or at least that we can not name. But let me help you here. the drive of the zombie is the same drive that our ancestors warned us against. They were the same drives that has destroyed one civilization after another. We call these the deadly 7 unbalanced passions. They were introduced to me in a book of wisdom over 20 years ago. They are the same drives that keep us broke,unhappy, depressed and lost. They are Fear, pride, envy, greed, jealousy, lust and anger. These negative seven are thoughts that infected the carrier, and turns into ideas that push the individual to zombie like actions. These ideas feed on us and force us to act out in crazy ways that are equal to and sometimes worst than zombies. If you don't believe it, look around you. Check your work place, school, churches, politics, radio and see the zombies walking right before your eyes.
The good thing about this zombie virus is that there is a cure, if you can infect the carrier with balanced thoughts, and stimulate the growth of new healthy ideas the virus can be counter acted. So go out and save the world spread the antivirus, and more importantly protect yourself from being infected. Keep positive thoughts and balanced principles in your life.
