What of Economic Envy?

Afrikan souls are naturally endowed with bountiful and abundant natural resources. Whether from their lands’ surface or beneath it, throughout the ages this soul people harnessed their raw materials, worked them into progressive use and prospered in grand ways. Thus, their norm of self-economy held a powerfully wealthy base in service of the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist. Unfortunately, onlookers have sought to invade and otherwise fleece the Afrikan of their resources, even to the extent that Afrikan souls themselves were hijacked and grotesquely considered as a commodity or chattel.

Amongst the motives for destructive behaviour unrestrained envy may have played a role. According to a mainstream source the meaning of the word envy is:

 

“desire to have a quality, possession, or other desirable thing belonging to (someone else)”

 

Having the desire is one thing, acting upon it with exceptionally destructive, dire and protracted results of a Maafa is another. In a disrupted state and being subject to the ‘economies’ of others, Afrikan souls may be susceptible to a host of abnormal behaviours. For example, if souls are only able to see their success in relation to the ‘economies’ of others and are void of self-economy then they may consider an erroneous state of being considered less-than or of abject lack as normal. Here, success may be considered in err as incessant consumption of the tertiary or aesthetic symbols of success produced for such consumption by the ‘economies’ of others.

 

If then, Afrikans are not building for themselves and the constructions of others gain momentum fuelled by profuse consumerism of the tertiary or aesthetic that exclusively services other ‘economies’ - have souls become ill-contaminated with a sort of ‘economic’ envy?

 

According to one source, the term economic envy attracts the following description:

 

“Envy of others’ material possessions is a potent motivator of consumerism. This makes it a prudentially and morally hazardous emotional response”.

Clearly, the restoration of self-knowingness, self-economy and the civilised living it naturally serves are vital. The Afrikan is not the perpetual consuming fodder of others’ intent to disuse. Nor can the Afrikan thrive by profusely haemorrhaging resource. This primary people of creation are not a commodity nor are they chattel. These souls are the pioneers of culture and civilisation and must surely recover and sustain the wisdom of who and what they are and their purpose as builders and orchestrators of self-determined brilliancy.   Here, Afrikan souls from whatever status, level or station can make a contributory step for their ascension of rightful order – however large or small. At the same time, safeguarding the self from contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoings and the like are key.  

This pioneering people can surely reveal their maximal potential and capability for the ascension of themselves. In this, Afrikan souls can leave relieve themselves of any destructive envy  and focus  on the imperative thrust of construction.   Civilisation has never been of happenstance.
