New Social Order, Demise of the Old
The social re-evolution must not be
considered as haven taken us by surprise. Maybe/maybe not, we haven’t taken
note or we are too quick to forget. Society seems to run with the wave then
wait for another , then another…
Let me not confuse things and rather
get to my point. Recently the world was rattled by the confession/admission by
Lance Armstrongn to the doping. Confession/admission let me remind us that when
one admits and confesses there is forgiveness.
Am not interested in Lance as a person
but rather looking at how he got to this point and how much societal demands
may have contributed to the product of what we get. The big question always to
be asked is does society share in this blame? How much does society play in making its own. I see Lance from the lens that the society
throws on itself.
When we as a society are constantly
spurring our own,constantly making failure as well as success as a do or die
issue, creating the notion that failure does not associate itself when there is
a success, those who falls within the bracket of success never admitting to
accepting the possibility they can fall found themselves in this backwardness
of unimaginable lies,secret to keep inspired even when they are on the dying/dead
bed.
We should take blame for what/ how
far the young man has lived in deceit. The society indirectly asked and got
what it gets. We have in one time or another constantly played Gods. It is time
we remember we are humans and as humans capable of mistakes . we should look
inward, play our part in building a society that accepts both failure as well
as success as part of the same life experiences, in so doing, eliminate
desperate acts and false being/hood that pushes forth within, just like we have
seen in the past from what has come to emerge from individual short comings.
We all have a part to play.
