Optimal caring for Afrikan people
naturally comes from Afrikan souls themselves. Through the deep sense of
knowing of themselves cultivated from their emergence as the first of humanity,
this soul people of the world are naturally equipped with the tools of their
own best care. Thus, self-care and self-knowing are inextricably bound for without
knowingness of self the well-fashioned tools of care are abandoned. Throughout
the levels of the self (from person to nation and beyond), there are
fundamental levels of care that apply in order for the levels to be established
and maintained for continual and fullest flourishing.
Despite the efforts of others that mean the Afrikan ill to derail or destroy the natural norm of self-care in Afrikan life, it is only the Afrikan that can restore the rightful care function of self. Surely, the Afrikan ought not succumb to the abandonment of their self-determined natural norm. Nor should the Afrikan be accepting (even welcoming) of the pseudo-care posturings of others that mean the Afrikan ill.
The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey with his deeply insightful words of wisdom, articulates the following in regards to the subject of caring:
“Caring for the [Afrikan] in Afrika or in the Western world is indeed a great problem today, because as a fact, very few if any, outside of himself, cares anything about him and all that he is being used for by others is to advance their own selfish interest. We as a people, therefore, must cling to those ideals that are dear to us”
Here, this great hero highlights the importance of self-knowing in terms of the ideals that are necessarily dear to the Afrikan. He also makes clear the importance of knowing of conditions and circumstance in the world and its effect on Afrikan life.
Afrikan souls hold a responsibility of self-knowing unto themselves. This is not attained, developed and maintained from the mainstream institutions governed and controlled by others. This is restored and secured to Afrikan life through establishments of their own on an independent basis. Can the Afrikan invest at least a portion of time, resource and commitment for such self-caring activity? Surely the Afrikan must. Afrikan ascension is imperative for rightful order to prevail and pinnacle civilisation to be realised.
The inspiration and wisdom guidance of the great Marcus Garvey is surely mission-compelling for Afrikans worldwide. Here, the imperative thrust of independent learning can be energised throughout the levels of the self:
The person self (for Afrikan masculine manhood) or (for Afrikan feminine womanhood)
The harmonious and complementary Afrikan male-female union
The Afrikan family
The Afrikan community
The Afrikan nation
The Afrikan world community
