Ethnocentrism is a matter of personal growth

So is this who I am? because someone said so??because they did their research based on whatever facts they had and stamped it. Am branded thief, con person, disclaimer and who knows what else. Why? cause of my tribe. I get very agitated at people who make such conclusions and claims which they cannot prove. Such habits are in the least disgusting. What pseud people we have! You should see the confidence some of us Kenyans wear when branding other tribes, not to mention the vehemence in our insistence of how unlikeable they are. If you don't like some tribe just leave them alone rather than fuel hate. How far have we come with this struggle against ethnocentrism. Apparently which is a struggle because you will be forced to live whatever someone wants you to be, but excuse me. I will not live by someone's rules based on ignorance and plain arrogance. And the dust just settled after the elections.I say that because I have absolutely nothing against tribes, they are just groups for efficiency even nature is a good manager why humans are not is another thing.
 Had anyone said to our forefathers, the way you talk could cause bloodshed would they believe for precaution? Maybe that would have saved lives. Yeah it matters what you speak and what comes from your mouth can kill sooner than your tight grip can strangle and faster than your blade can swing to mutilate. I believe strongly by speech you can give hope and life to a person as I also believe the universe was created by word of mouth. That is how much you can give to the universe and the people around you. Your tongue is like a sword an you choose what to do with it. Now a sword is known for its good use in war but it is also useful to those who have it in many other ways. You can use a sword to fin food in the wild as you can give hope with your tongue where its scarce. A sword is a knife serving, you may use it to shape and chop off junk and that means rebuke. Rebuke people and warm them of such danger that may result from their careless speech. Correct them that is building each other and our country as a whole. We ceased to correct each other and speak up where we are offended. It is important that we sort issues there and then so that grudge does not grow like a seething hot rod of iron within us. the tongue cannot be tamed it is your own decision to train it that makes the difference in who you are and what you do. You decide how people will treat you with your tongue by standing up for your opinion. Do not be afraid of refuting a point of ethnocentrism. Moat importantly, let our tongues serve us. Do not bite your own tongue. When you are on the wrong, admit it. We don't need movements to help us deal with our personal issues. I believe ethnocentrism is a personal matter. If each one of us dealt with it. The whole nation has dealt with it. You are Kenya, We are Kenya
