I don’t know where we picked up
all these social media bravado from but it’s scary, and it’s certainly not from
our homes. Training kids to show sensitivity in dealing with people, especially
with elders is typical of every Gambian household. I think it’s about time we
draw the line between liberalism as we put it into practice and sheer
disrespect.
Being a liberal somebody is not
about rubbishing everything that is seemingly old school to you. Learn to
appreciate the good, knowing that even if what’s conservative were a broken
watch, it’s sure to be right twice a day... one rapper said: "There would
be no New School if it wasn't for the Old School." They paved the way, so
hats off to them.
Jim
Rohn said: "Our emotions need to be as educated as our
intellect. It is important to know how to feel, how to respond, and how to let
life in so that it can touch you." So no matter how well-read you think
you're, you cannot dismiss others as “ignorant” simply because they don’t
conform to your idea of how things have evolved or should be. Your broad
general knowledge regardless, you will always be ignorant on some subjects. All
knowing is God’s.
