Let it go Mams. Let it go. Suntou was only agreeing with your earlier
postings that preach that there is really NO NEUTRAL HUMAN BEING. Relax men. You
get too edgy sometimes like Giussepe.

Crickey, somebody is edgy. I thought with all your deep philosophy, your
mind would enlarged by now. No difference of opinion then, Rumie wouldn't
like that though. Wallow in your twarted reasoning mate, it is all the same.

Edi, Haruna must have missed this posting like i do. However, you have
been very philosophical as usual. The Rumi bit is interesting though. The UDP
will never agree with the so-call neutral person. That bogus proposition is
the most rediculous illicit demand. Who the heck is a neutral person, may
be you are, or some former sleeping politician.
Thanks

My opinion on this issue as UDP is the biggest party therefore every other
party should follow them. This reality is the same reason that UDP should
be flexible towards smaller parties to join them to a smooth victory.
For-example; Yahya Jammeh wanted to be a king and he is having the largest
majority in house of parliament, but without the support of the smaller house
members, it will never go smoothly if it was constitutional. Therefore, UDP
should be ready to create a strategy of compromise and give smaller
parties a good reason than saying I am bigger than you.
This is the same old African style of politics taken roots from the way
many where brought-up as such; I can never have a voice in front of my
parents or someone elder than I am or richer than me because they are bigger or
elder than me. To counter these, Colonial masters or the West brought out
human right laws to give voice to voiceless by reasoning and compromising,
which to my understanding is aimed at Africans as we can see, they are the
continent taking the hardest blows. What I am trying to say here is the fact
that, it is the bigger party who should be able to mobilize strategies to
including the smaller parties by leading them to a concrete and profound
understanding towards unification to suit each and everyone. UDP can call
every political or opposition leaders to put their agenda in front of them
for scrutiny and way forwards.
Even the unity that prevails in other countries was not only the
mightiness of the party but the strategies behind which convince the smaller parties
to join the bigger one. PDOIS is to my opinion skeptical that if UDP is
joined to win, they can at the end of the day, clinch to power beyond the
mandated term and this same probability is what the UDP is skeptical of in
selecting a neutral person and after two years, different parties can disunite
to campaign in replacing the agreed caretaker. In every joint venture, in
every corporation, the bigger company or person no matter how rich or big,
compromises in different ways than bigness with the smaller person or
companies. MY WAY OR THE HIGH WAY will never win any viable argument or
disagreement.
When we start to question the purpose of life at some point in time, we
tend to incline ourselves to a specific faith or religion, to seek the Truth.
Here lies the irony. When we seek the Truth by imitating what we should
and should not do, we moved ourselves further away from understanding the
nature of existence, from Truth, so to speak. We imitate what great masters
have shared instead of learning to understand what they are trying to convey
(read a person is more beneficial than quoting him). So instead of moving
closer to Truth, we are in fact moving further from Truth. I therefore,
stood in the world of Gambian politicians and found them all drunk, and I did
not find any of them thirsty thus. They came into the world of politic
empty, and they seeking to leave empty. But meanwhile they are drunk by their
own ambition different from that of the many population (UNITY). When they
could just shake off their wine, they will surely open their eyes (after
election).
UDP is the bigger party and will remain the bigger party for a long time,
therefore it is still in their advantage if a neutral person is selected
for a limited time just to procure the changes of government needed then
before the end of the term, all parties can campaign on their respective
platform to win the confidence of the people. With their divisions going towards
the election time, president Jammeh will surely win, and even if he doesn’t
win who will notice the fact that there is biasness or unfairness as the
opposition is disunited and one bigger party cannot fight it alone but if
they are united, there comes power because no one is thereby left behind. If
there is no greediness or selfishness as an hidden agenda, this should not
be complicated especially when the people’s benefits are on the stake.
Bigness or power is nothing but oneness or togetherness is everything. If
bigness (power) is everything smaller people or companies will be in a
difficult situation. Therefore, taking advantage of others using your power without
compromise is against the laws of human right what?? Or is it other wise
oooops? Edi
Now let me share with you a parable by the wise Rumi, adapted by Osho,
another wise soul:
One day Jalaluddin Rumi took all his students, disciples and devotees to a
field. That was his way to teach them things of the beyond, through the
examples of the world. He was not a theoretician; he was a very practical
man. The disciples were thinking, "What could be the message, going to that
faraway field… and why can't he say it here?"
But when they reached the field, they understood that they were wrong and
he was right. The farmer seemed to be almost an insane man. He was digging
a well in the field – and he had already dug eight incomplete wells.
He would go a few feet and then he would find that there was no water.
Then he would start digging another well and the same story was continued. He
had destroyed the whole field and he had not yet found water.
The master, Jalaluddin Rumi, told his disciples, "Can you understand
something? If this man had been total and had put his whole energy into only one
well, he would have reached to the deepest sources of water long ago.
But the way he is going he will destroy the whole field and he will never
be able to make a single well. With so much effort he is simply destroying
his own land, and getting more and more frustrated, disappointed: what kind
of a desert has he purchased? It is not a desert, but one has to go deep
to find the sources of water."
He turned to his disciples and asked them, "Are you going to follow this
insane farmer? Sometimes on one path, sometimes on another path, sometimes
listening to one, sometimes listening to another… you will collect much
knowledge, but all that knowledge is simply junk, because it is not going to
give you the enlightenment you were looking for. It is not going to lead you
to the waters of eternal life."
