Yes, when compassion for others is absent from humans, and hatred
takes over their hearts and minds, Hitler's evil deeds against the Jewish people,
as well as the egregious brutalities and abominations ofJim Crow era
lynching, and the burning of Blacks alive, as spectacle, are some of the
horrors that can be wrought by minds consumed by hatred.
Akyaaba Addai-Sebo, that indeed is why we must always remember that we are all members of the one human race, and children of the Lord God Almighty. And, in Africa, it is the selfsame hatred-of-others, which makes some Africans think that their tribes are superior. Pity.
Yet, the fact of the matter, is that no tribe in today's Africa, is
inferior, or superior, to another, in this resurgent and increasingly
prosperous continent of ours. We are Africans first and foremost. We
are also all God Almighty's children - members of one big family, which is
enriched by a shared-heritage of diverse-ethnicity that binds us:
through bloodlines and ties of consanquinity.
Finally, to paraphrase a sage whose name one forgets, when it comes to
humanity, there are no others, there is only us humand. Let us thus be guided
by that in our our homeland Ghana. Peace and
blessings to you Opanin - and may we all endeavour to stay safe in these troubling coronavirus times that we now inhabit.
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Uncle Kofi.
