Choices and responses.

Today, 8th of August, 2019, there is a drag on twitter (that’s normal these days): an older person said a younger person was too vocal and dragged her for giving life advice. Afterall, she was in secondary school in 2012.

The younger person responded with her achievements, while calling the older one names over and over. I was impressed by her trajectory but disappointed by her manners. In a way, I can understand the headiness and pride that comes with your life being on track and on top of your game especially at a young age. There are so many things in my life that I was the youngest at but I didnt learn humility until my GPA crashed at the university.

While I am not saying either is right or wrong, I am stating that her (the younger lady) way of response was poor, rude and just showed clearly her age. Yes, she currently worked at CNN Africa (which is an enviable job by several standards) but she lacked emotional intelligence, class and basic human respect.

The ideology that “respect begats respect” is a fallacy and pushes the notion that if someone doesnt respect you, you automatically earn the right to be rude to them especially if you are accomplished like our dear aburo. Life comes at you very fast, treat people well, even when you think they dont deserve it.

A good example is Michelle Obama and Donald Trump during the elections. He called her (Michelle) names, Odindin First Last gbogbo United states! Fada Lawd; But Michelle didnt insult him back, or call in him names or list her achievements as a justification to be rude. She simply gave her now popular “When they go low, we go high..” speech.

Soon it will be your turn and you will have to make a choice: to drag someone and win a social media argument, perhaps trend or to be an example.

Some philosophy this afternoon! I also bought a new diary for this year which actually has enough space in it! This afternoon I wrote in the dates of my exams whilst listening to Einaudi!
