One of the most
marvelous philosopher central to the shaping and influencing of my
philosophical approach towards the phenomenon of life is the Danish Christian philosopher
by the names of Soren Kierkegaard.
Soren
Kierkegaard was a Christian philosopher and theological commenter.
He was born
on the 5th may 1813 and he passed on by the date of 11th November
1855.
H e is well
noted in the annals of philosophy for writing such monumental books such either/or, and in this 800 page book
soren Kierkegaard talks about a very interesting sect which he calls the “readers sect”.
A group of people who curve out a reputation
for themselves rendered by a commitment to diligently read and pay attention to
books, and after a short while they become writers and authors in their own
given right.
On the other
hand as well, I would want to suggest another sect that soren doesn’t describe
but I describe as the ‘bleeders sect’.
A group of
people who do not read and consequently are bleeding with rumors, and innuendos,
and while in the frustration of their pursuit they turn around to blame
somebody else for not doing enough for them.
They do not have
contingency because they do not contribute to the construction and the progress
of the society around them but they tear down the spirits of those doing
something remarkable to uplift their community.
Soren
Kierkegaard calls them the spectators of life, contributing nothing to the
greater base of knowledge.
My prayer
for all of you Gifted Tongues and young Africans is to join the ‘reader sect’ as
soren Kierkegaard describes it and not the bleeders’ sect as I describe it.
In order for
you to be prominent, superior, relevant towering figures in your own distinguished
right.
Africa is teetering is on the brinks of an
academic and spiritual explosion of revolutionary measure.
An explosion
of greatness and remarkable achievement by the grace of God Almighty, and at
the forefront of this explosion is a movement of Gifted Tongues in the quest
for Truth and Knowledge, So that this continent will be prominent, superior,
and relevant as much as important.
The Battle
of Gifted Tongues is not a movement of young African intellectual tourists but
a movement of encylopedists who are not afraid to deal with the complexities of
our specific day and time because we are action orientated revolutionaries
changing the course of history and re-writing history.
This is the
age of great achievers not the age of great anticipators.
Great
achievers plan to work hard and they work hard-producing great fruits.
Great anticipators plan to work hard and
instead of working they go partying with admirable passion.
Yet they
planned to achieve great.
