That is why there can never be equality!
Or value for things other than what one sees as PURITY!
Now if someone wants only to be 'the raw Kaffir, whose occupation is hunting and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife, and then pass his life in indolence and nakedness." There should be no objection from any prissy proper preens as why he should not be so FREE TO BE WHATEVER AND WHEREVER IT IS THAT HE WANTS TO BE
but that is what democracy true democracy is all about:
being allowed to be
free to be
what and how one wants to be
as long as one does not degrade oneself into terrorizing others into one's own ways!
And it is because of these intrinsic inate inbuilt biases that we never reach the level of transcendental illumination as a society as a whole.
BECAUSE WE BELIEVE AND TRUST IN COPYBOOK RULEBOOKS AND
COOKBOOKS
AND XEROX COPIES INSTEAD OF AUTHENTIC PRESENCES EVEN WHEN WE FIND THEM WE MISS THEM AND BEGIN THE DIRTTRACK BACKTRACK INTO THE DIRT AND DUST OF HISTORY ALL OVER AGAIN. . .
A KAFIR SHOULD BE FREE TO BE AS LONG AS HE IS NOT DANGER OR CAUSING LAW AND ORDER DISRUPTION
TO OTHERS!
AND MAHATMA GANDHI in his early and later years misssed the VISION OF HIS OWN GENIUS BY SETTLING US INTO A COPYCAT COLONY RULED BY CLONES OF THE COLONIALISTS 'BURRA SAHIBS' WITH THE SAVING GRACE OF A LACK IN BLEACHING POWDER LACK OF COLOUR!
On June 2, 1906 he commented in the Indian Opinion that "Thanks to the Court's decision, only clean Indians or colored people other than Kaffirs, can now travel in the trains."
SO MUCH FOR TYRANNY
as was once said:
TYRANNY TAKES MANY TRAINS. . .
and we ride on at the behest of the others. . .
do as I do. . .
do as I say ...
don't do as I do do as I say . . .
and so on . . .
what is good enough for me is too good for you. . .
what is not good for us will do for you. . .
and the tyranny train travels on the BaathIsahiIsa LOOP!
