We are back to the same spot, ran a particular lap and we up in the same spot, we look at how murky the spot is, and work so hard to run away from it. We avoid looking at it keenly, we avoid cleaning it. we avoid looking for a solution to that particular spot, and every two years we are back there.. and running we start, we want to avoid the place as much as we can. Yes that's us, we are that nation, we are oblivious of the stench, we are good at ignoring the building up of the garbage, its a part of us, mediocrity is in our DNA. That is our pride... no wonder so many keep dying of the same drought in Turkana..
We are like the proverbial man that looks at himself in the mirror and forget how he looks like, we are good at forgetting, "Out of mind, Out of sight".. that is us, no innovation, lack of planning, abandonment of accountability, loss of somberness..
“You can't plow a field simply by turning it over in your mind.”
