Der Boss

     I never understood the adage: “A picture speaks a thousand words,” until I saw this picture recently taken in my country by a good friend of mine known on Google+ as Vormwald100. Obviously even the untrained eye in pictures can see a story being told by wild animals in this picture. And people like Vormwald100 who had been to my country would testify that the state of affairs depicted in this picture represents the harmony enjoyed by the people in my country.

     See, my people had gone through horrible wars for over 112 years, thanks to God working through bigger nations; we finally got our independence in 1990. Since then we swore never to go back to war again! Of course, we had to work hard at bringing about peace and stability across our country. And today as we speak, we have our country under control! Yet according to us, we still have a big room for improvement. But so far we’re not bothered by minor things such as racial discrimination, crime, religion, political affiliation, and what have you!

     Especially racial discrimination is something we don’t even dream about anymore, because we’re indeed brothers and sisters, so united our nation is! After all, take me for example, where would you place me? My uncles and aunties on one side are white people, and on the other, are black people, so what am I? For that reason, I wouldn’t let anybody hurt either of them in any way!

     And this is the attitude shared by every citizen of our country. You wouldn’t find anybody planning to harm somebody here! Even Sam Nujoma who has got all the reasons to hate white people, doesn’t; because they are his cousins and friends too, he can’t live without them. Besides, this is their country too, they were born here; their forefathers had lived here since the beginning of time, so we’re one! And this is the reason why it hurts so much seeing foreigners committing crimes in our country just because they can fool everybody. So, we’re not going to tolerate such bad manners here! We need respectable businessmen to invest in our country, but criminals trading under false pretenses, no!

     And oh, just a little info about me, of course, I am not speaking for anybody but me! I had taken an early retirement after having worked for my government for 26 years. I am an old man now, 50 years old, running my own legitimate businesses. I don’t get paid by anybody to write these things either, and I don’t expect anybody to pay me anything for these things since this is part & parcel of my private business.

     So if I were to wrong anybody, they would have the right to take me to court, and I wouldn’t expect my government or any of my people to bail me out because I speak for me! And I certainly don’t expect people to like my work. By the same token, I am not doing this to impress anybody. And nobody puts words into my mouth! I am just doing this because it’s the right thing to do. Protecting people and possibly teaching other peoples one or two things about philosophy is very important to me. I had gone to school for this, so I don’t want all that knowledge to go to waste when I kick the bucket someday, thanks.
