Build Where You Stand – Standards

To what standards do Afrikan souls in the contemporary times hold in the lives? Indeed, who defined those standards and who is best served by those standards? Such questioning would surely have been redundant for this soul people during their natural norm of optimal flourishing, for the answers would have been readily observable throughout their highly cultured life expressions. Certainly, the standards of life that gave rise to the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist served this people’s best interests, secured their continual ascension and indelibly etched their norm of brilliancy throughout the annals of history. However, in the modern-day present, things may look a little different.

According to the contemporary source, the word standard attracts the following meaning:

“a level of quality or attainment”.

Modern conditions where the primary people of creation, are subject to a state of interruption and disruption by the hands of others that mean them ill can present destructive circumstances of acute abnormality. Certainly, the Afrikan life standards of normality that produced, maintained, and developed pinnacle civilisation can suffer to state the least.  Standards for the acquisition and use of resources, standards for relationship building, standards for education, standards for rightful conduct and so on – may all then serve the best interests of others and leave the Afrikan at a dire deficit in their own necessary, self-determined and self-beneficial life constructions.

Bear in mind that this primary people held standards of functioning that pioneeringly ushered culture and civilisation into the world to begin with and then subsequently developed an vast array of exceptional and highly civilised societies, there exists an unparalleled level of wisdom, knowledge and experience. This means that Afrikan souls have a vast repository of self-knowingness to tap into and utilise for the self-determined construction of their lives in the now and throughout time to come.

It matters not where in the world the Afrikan is located. It could here, there or elsewhere. Wherever the Afrikan stands that same repository of their rich and shared experience can be a hugely empowering resource to inform their standards for contemporary and future security and progression.  If however, the Afrikan succumbs to vices of self-destruction or becomes consumed by contaminants of ill, then the resulting ‘standards’ of life operation may only be those that serve the best interests of others and are perennially unhelpful (at best) to Afrikan betterment. In short, Afrikan souls must define and use their own life standards that emerge the restoration of their self-knowingness and cultured living. Upright steps of progress in this regard can be effected from whatever status, level or station a soul may hold.

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X, insightfully highlights the fallacies that have been pushed and peddled in contemporary times in the attempt to deny Afrikan souls their maximal constructive potential and capabilities when he states:

“It’s a crime, the lie that has been told to generations of black men”.

Pinnacle Afrikan civilisations were established with the corresponding standards to produce the evidential results. Afrikan souls surely must recover their ageless know-how and apply themselves according. Then, now or tomorrow – in a locale of here, there or elsewhere civilisation is not constructed of happenstance.
