AFRICA SUCKS! WHY WAS I BORN HERE?

1.       In the beginning there was the Pain, African Pain; and the Pain Relieved became Pleasure.  And the first principles of the mind were born.

Now while we are talking African let us clarify: this is a people with a greatest mind historically capable of doing anything with it in this universe
They built the Pyramids of Egypt (erstwhile term for present-day "Africa" in honour of their King Phiri/Pharaoh).

They invented civilization as we know it today.

They invented a lot of other things that this blog post is uninterested in naming inclusive of creating music which could, and still can, be made out of nothing please watch this musical video for my point: 

However, despite all these mental gifts, Africa is today using such for self-destruction, pessimism and self-hatred.  But let us now go to the greater pool of humankind outside the Afrcan precinct, if as as early as the origin of life when the mind was born.

2.       Mankind for sure became greedy and took the lion’s share of the mind game all because of our huge brain size in comparison to body size of the homo sapiens species.

3.       The ping-pong between pleasure and pain had to determine the individual’s character.  Also it had to invent God.

4.       Why does one guy make dud choices while the other one excels?  That is an age-old question.

5.       It is never a difficult question to answer if you have seen even the most basic laws of mathematics: what you give to life you get back, ‘do unto others as you would have them do to you’.

6.       However, it is not as simple as that.  Ever heard about the word ‘inheritance’?  Well all of us individual humans, rats and other creatures that can ‘feel’ are saddled with the inheritance of our forebears: we can’t run away from our inheritance even if it is an albatross around our necks.

7.       I for example can’t unAfricanize myself even though if I had a wish I would have been born German.  Michael Jackson tried it but I do not think he is impressed with what efforts he made, looking at them from the other world where the world’s best entertainer ever lives as of now.

8.       So, to survive in life, do first accept your inheritance shameful or glorious.

9.       Secondly, do your fair share of reacting to life.  Remember this from Uncle Goodman: “With the pleasures and the pressures of life we should wrestle, but with our predestination or inheritance we should rest”.

10.   If that has sunken into your head, then we can move to the finer detail where our God willy nilly exists!  Here goes!

11.   IF one guy succeeds and I fail; if one race succeeds and Africa fails WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? God? Colonialism? Predestination? Biblical curse?  Want to know the Truth?

12.   “NONE OF THE ABOVE!”

Not even the black skin of Brook Benton is the cause!

13.   It all starts with pain and pleasure.  Remember we say this is the origin of thought processes or the very mind.  What do you do, for example when you hear a lion roaring at your neighbour’s while they scream and wail from a famished man-eater devouring everybody there? 

14.   Do you tighten your gateposts so as to prevent the wild cat from attacking your children or do you look for your spear or gun to go help your neighbour in the full knowledge that one day, when the lion has devoured everybody at your neighbour’s, he will grow hungry again and, strong gates or not, come for your own children too?

15.   Us Africans have the habit of not thinking that far and too often we sadistically exalt in the demise of our own neighbours.  Please don’t ask me why we boast this sad proclivity! Ask God! He created us and made us the first humans on Earth!

16.   But if you want my scientific reply to it I will try: Us Africans react poorly to the interplay between pain and pleasure.

17.   I would for example have pain first and pleasure later; but I suspect the vast majority of my brethren would grab the pleasure first!

18.   That, then, is how (after the Arabs had centuries before  pretty much done the same thing without much success except culturally arabicizing half of our Continent and giving us a very mysterious guy called Mohammed for God’s prophet [over and above exporting us Africans as slaves]).....

...the Caucasian, who is apparently ready to take pain before the pleasure, moved into Africa out of Europe, came especially to the Cape and tamed the African lion.  The European had no reason to trust in possible compunction towards him as a European if that African giant awoke and started ruling the world once again as we did as early as the Stone Age.

19.   The European  was following the first law of nature: SELF-PRESERVATION!  He had the edge of taking pain before pleasure.  He could sacrifice.  God loves sacrifices and the other word for sacrifice is pain…not pain at the expense of goats, sheep and other innocent animals, but sacrifice is pain at the expense of your individual self.

20.   Now us Africans, the most sensitive race on Earth, naturally fear pain no end.  Our mental superiority, boosted by traces of our melanin that have found their way into our brains, has in essence become now our worst enemy: we are indolent, refuse any measure of lucubration or study and in fact in South Africa we burn and vandalize schools and municipal offices that are supposed to cross-pollinate with governmental efforts of raising our kids, we are drunk most of the time calling it the freedom that Nelson Mandela fought for in our favour, we are vain and enjoy the suffering of neighbours’children and do not care for our orphans, we walk about thinking that what we individually have was predestined.  We see nothing with walking into a neighbour’s yard and vandalizing his or her property.

21.   However we forget one thing: the day of reckoning is coming.  God will want our individual asses to answer as to why we took first the pleasurable paths with our lives, rather than the more onerous avenues of responsibility, care for others and love.

22.   The day of reckoning will come to all our individual selves right here on earth…forget about Heaven…for nobody, not even Jesus, has ever been there and come back to tell us of its viability for God’s Court cases of lives wasted by pleasure-seeking individual Africans!

23.   Africa on the Continent and the Diaspora just needs to learn taking pressure first and pleasure later, otherwise I will gladly give back Africa to a Europe for a recolonization  (I can do that for remember I am Phiri-Pharaoh the only king who has ever ruled the entire world) for I seem to see too many individual Europeans ready to sacrifice their individual comfort for the common good of others.

24.   Has this Got to do with the Caucasian’s preponderance of the Blood Group A?

25.   I am not sure.  But if the original blood group “O” that us Africans have in greater ratio than Europeans is the reason, well let us be blunt enough to accept that most of us Africans are destined for extinction BECAUSE THE MODERN WORLD IS HIGHLY SOCIETAL AND NEEDS INDIVIDUAL CITIZENS OF THE GLOBE TO SACRIFICE FOR OTHERS AND NOT TO HUNT FOR INDIVIDUAL PLEASURE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE MAJORITY WHO ARE NEIGHBOURS OF OUR GLOBAL VILLAGE.

26.   Please, Africa, Wake Up and stop following the instincts of your Blood Group (if it is the one that has got you so much crazed over the last few centuries, European colonialism notwithstanding).
