When You Put a Seed In the Soil It Remains Beneath the Soil Until the Season Changes: What of Self Compassion? 

Do Afrikan souls have compassion for amongst and for themselves whether located here, there or elsewhere? This is surely a question that can hold significant meaning during a state of interruption and disruption where Afrikan souls may be destructively set upon by others that mean the Afrikan ill. It is surely normal for this primary people of creation to hold high levels of compassion for themselves in the course of their natural mainstay of self-determined and highly cultured living. Thus, such a question – were it to be posed during a normal period of Afrikan optimality – would probably be of little worth.  

To illustrate this, a contemporary mainstream source offers the following description of self-compassion in relation to the individual: 

“Having self-compassion means being able to relate to yourself in a way that's forgiving, accepting, and loving when situations might be less than optimal”. 

In context of this discussion, it is considered pertinent to adapt this sourced detail to reflect the focus level of a whole people. In this case, Afrikan souls. In so doing, the something that looks like the following may result: 

“Afrikan self-compassion means Afrikan souls being able to relate to themselves at the core level of oneness whether located here, there or elsewhere in a way that is empathetic, accepting and loving as a matter of normality. Afrikan self-compassion is especially significant when conditions for Afrikan people are less than optimal”.  

Despite the challenges of ill-imposition during a state of disruption, Afrikan souls can greatly empower themselves with their self-compassion. Of course, for it to be realised a level of self-knowingness is key. Thus, there is self-determined effort on the part of Afrikan souls to restore functional, upright and necessary levels of compassion that soul people hold of and for themselves.  

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X, with his exceptional wisdom and powerful insight, cautions Afrikan souls against haemorrhaging their compassion to fuel their own demise, when he emphatically and pointedly states: 

“I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalise them for not being able to stand up under the weight”. 

The naturally self-compassionate Afrikan throughout the ages brought forth the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist. Surely that speaks volumes for the outward results of care this soul people naturally hold amongst themselves. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
