I choose to belief what i want!

This a post of many a views and hearsays. Maybe i have never taken a keen interest but i've heard this from three people now, is it that chilli gets in as bitter and irritating as it comes out on the other end?? i ask for clarification from knowlegdeable quarters...Am a fan of chilli but i've never felt it as so, but maybe its one of those things am going to refer to in this post regarding "beliefs"

I notice that the media too has played a big role in society interms of what people belief or is their opinion . Mostly in this age that people are really talking issues openly be it reality, political, religious, emotional and spiritual. People including wakathangos are internalizing on issues that we were earlier made belief but now critics are on the rise pissing off the conservatives. These are the positives of media that its bringing things to the limelight leave for other things with a negative connotation like western kinda cultures that are impacting on our young ones, women folks or even the old. Now folks are coming to accept the music videos aired of nudity, vulgar that they are not about to go away.

I remember my old lady always saying,, "that music is of devil, switch it off in my house!" and that was obeyed immediately but today i hear folks are given punch lines like, "Jesus hasn't released an album as yet, so that you say Jesus' music". Anyway some of those programs i say that raise adrenaline rush or anxiety to a level and then all of a sudden comes crashing for the belief 'its only acting' its not entertainment according to me. This i refer most to the soaps and dramas mostly with a western touch. Others are realities like cheaters that leave you wondering "what if that thing happened to me, i would....." fill in your gaps.

I have managed to ban some of those in my house slowly slowly for why watch whereas i get the drama and realities live live (read from pm) i donno whether borrowed atimes.. Bottomline this media is influencing our society folk in mannerisms, the traditional african culture were replaced by babylonian kind (western)cultures that have overshadowed it so much. Another belief that maybe you would call a stereotypical kind, is of yellow yellows, who to me appear as the african blondes. these are mosly the people i say you'll find in Koinange street and other affluential lifestyles (woiii okuyu).

The yellow yellow(sorry) anyway interms of colour am also one of them, my sisters and bro too but i see they may portray some daftness in them interms of peer, vice and succumb more. This i attribute more to the side effects of western influence which they relate with more because of their skin colour more than our dark counterparts who are more in touch with the african look.

On another issue of belief i say this habit of always putting tribe first should end, this was just a way of "divide and rule" political neocolonialism impacted on us to belief by the political intelligent scheeming elite so as to clinch and stay in power. Why do i put the political touch', the other day a pal tells me that a friend of his' crib got wiped out by a 'girlfiend' and she left to the U.A.E. How can a woman be so cruel especially from the lake?? i ask myself.. maybe its the connotation of when you love one too much the more likely for him or her to do you 'kihibirania(matharao)' and its double more so from a person of out!!

Another story i heard of another persons of the western (read kakamega) community, when the wife died of similar community the sisters to the wife came and chased the husband from their matrimonial home in which they had both serviced loans to build and sire their kids in, in the claim that that was their sister's property and their father supported them too, leaving the man to vacate and start renting a house with the kids who had no choice but to follow their dad whom they knew as the only present guardian,(still in  our courts i hear) I dont want to say more for its hearsay story that you cannot quite side with either party and dont know exact details,this i say "for every one rat you see there're fifty others you did not". Bottomline or moral lesson of the story is, these people are not okuyus by any chance but can do that, so next time you are told of such situations of "kihibirania"(matharao) and ask ,"was it okuyu person?/" know that a person is by him/herself and and depends on being.. great philosopher said , "you got the power of being (recognition is being not doing) it all depends on an individual!!.

I dont know whether i related that relatively to my story but its just some 'food for thought' for those that can decipher.. its called the art of expressing how one feels  and not beliefs that are in most cases in concurrence society's for the sense of belonging. Another lecturer friend of mine as he takes afew at our local becomes a philosopher of his kind who i say contradicts what he lectures (read theology units). He goes like, "those people who preach to us about salvation in the name of going to heaven as if its there, who in the first place told them that everyone wants to go to heaven?/" he he!! talk of a misleader of flocks!!, Continues, "infact the few that go there if at all, are very bored people, aty you wake up and see angel Gabriel there, no alcohol, its boring!!"he he, #amazing..

 In a way i concur because all these things i attribute to colonialism of the mind leave this neo-colonialism we are still in but what the western community brought to us. The missionaries as we read in history came with a gun on one hand and a bible on the other , so they were like take this or the next offer (bullet on head). in that way they were able to impact their westernizaton on us and we started beliefs not that there were no beliefs before, what of facing mount Kenya?? in my view these people were also big intelligent, manipulative, entrepreneural minds.

Even the writers of the same bible, who knows, maybe they coined the characters present like Noah, Abraham, Jesus just like i use characters like guru, philosopher, Ken, Tobiko and others. But whomever the entrepreneurs (call them the authors of the best selling book) they had an insight to foresee the future in their writing. At times i hesitate to hold some of these discussions in situations or among conservatives of sociey lest am branded an 'anti-christ' but am just an open mind who look at things from various perspectives and fail to know why i had to belief something out of impact than your own adult way of reason. Am sure even my old lady if she heard me discuss such she would 'ask me back' in prayers as she has always done, for i say i live by my mother's prayers. but anyway i choose to belief what i want!!.
