"This is what always drives me and generates the contradictions in my statements:
Can we celebrate the good?
Can the good restore our values?
Can the good gives us hope?" TF.
1. To celebrate the good, we need to remove needless biases and ethnicity syndromes in our mindset.
2. We need to have a general acceptable definition of the good.
3. Even when we the good, there is need to understand what constitutes our values. This raises the issue of definition of 'our values'. Do we have agreeable set of values to be restored by 'the good'?
4. What kind of hope do we anticipate 'the good' to offer us? But then what is hope? Is any hope being lost?
Segun Ogungbemi.
--In Biko's story, not to divert attention away from the condolences, is our collective ambivalence. We see the goodness in our people, at all levels. But the badness of the state consumes us.
How do we restore the damage to our hope and emotions by refocusing our energies to good people?
This is what always drives me and generates the contradictions in my statements:
Can we celebrate the good?
Can the good restore our values?
Can the good gives us hope?
