Let's talk about Equality

this trip and the Tears of the Desert book got me thinking about equality this few days, the book because the fight for equality is the main message and the trip because i see alot of that in the people i work with in this trip.. and since i am on sentry for so long hours, i "meditate" alot on the topic



In Darfur, people fight for their basic human rights and it seems that those basic rights are not equal among different race and skin color. In Rwanda, same things happen and we in this fortunate country could only sigh and mourn about their fate, secretly thanking God that none of that happened in our happy little island. But look deeper and think harder, inequality is everywhere even here in the happy little island..



this work trip made me realize that in our based-on-justice-and-equality happy little island that is built on everyone's effort regardless-of-race-language-and-religon, some things are just masked and well packaged that we cannot even talk about it without risking getting sued.. constantly, we are seeing the wrong people being put into the wrong place just because they have the right links or the right piece of paper, or something even surname.. haha.. the more experienced people or more adequate workers are to remain in the same post because they do not carry the required piece of paper to suit the company's image in that certain position. high profile roles are given to future undergrads just because of the fact that they are going to be in a university in future.. people are not being allowed into more restricted places because they just happened to be the same skin color as the people who has a threat to us.. this is gross and i dont like it.. it is legalized inequality masked and candy-wrapped and it is obviously deception.



my friend tell me to suck thumb and flow with the trend but i am not going to do that.. if there is something i can do about it i will man.. aint gonna sit by and do nothing.. if Paul Rusesabagina did something in Rwanda, Halima Bashir did something in Darfur, then why not me.. but the thing is i gotta get influential first before people start listening to me. and the first step to being influential, i gotta get into a uni and get a degree.. what an irony and this sucks..
