WHY I CHOSE STEEMIT OVER MEDIUM!!
TO DOWN WITH THE MYTHS.
Have you ever tried going into a river or sort of water pool with carefully examining the depth of the floor below and the level upto which water sinks you, because if you have, then you are going to feel me precisely the way I am trying to explain.
The myth is that Asian and African countries are vast in populace and scorching for resources while the GOD has had reservations about our western counterparts in giving them the apple of DEVELOPMENT.And thus they have evenly distributed resources per population , which makes their living a standard way of living.
From time immemorial ,they have toiled hard for their earned sophistication in education and industries.GOD made them believe , that when they conquer the fear , lies ahead all of the world in their feet.And so they did conquer the world crossing vast oceans of fear on their battered ships with gritty , greasy mercantile ambitions, placing us in their feet, as they liked to believe.
For their chests full of profits from spices and tea,they bought themselves the robes of illusion,long and beautiful, silky and marched with breeze, they completely forgot their ancestral lore of yesteryears of festering hunger in cold and filth,for they liked to believe in future and forget the past, for they honored hope more than skepticism,they marched with their heads high, bust filled with pride of nationalism, and then into the doors of civilization as they taught the entire world.
Civilization is the key here.This usage of the idea is revolutionary and evolutionary, out of which chickens of generations have hatched in numbers outliving the combined flora and fauna.This gave the purpose of the hard work its meaning, no matter what you do, you do it harder.If you are a thinker do it harder, because if they don’t how will the civilization be built.And then poor people needed just a glimpse of this hardened with hard work ,hard looking people’s castle of civilization to offer their gut and respect.
It was everywhere around the world with different names ,sometimes tongue-twisting, brain fuzzing, and alien at times in appearance,but mind you, they were all nasty civilizations with taste of their own.Despite all the nastiness, none could be as ‘hard’ as ENGLISH for they worked so hard that they splintered like cracked pieces of a glass around the globe, in Africa , Australia, America, Asia,apart from Europe,countless islands .And then began ‘godly’ task of civilizing the downtrodden populace ,for they were true Christians and churchgoers, for they said amen to the God for all the gifts he bestowed upon them, they came to rationally believe that the white skin beneath it hides white brain , full of light as if because of Jesus commanded ‘let there be light’ , and their bodies were chartered through acts of god, for there were none like whites and none like white ideas.Meanwhile in the other parts of the world, people got frenzied with worshipping all forms of nature with utmost devotion, only to part ways with their intellect as the light’s speed could only be discovered later,and how could it arrive before the arrival of illuminating white brains.Not in that world ,not in this world.
Even the guzzling information ,moving across the globe could not make it possible for ‘Idea Sensitive’ and encouraging souls of MEDIUM, that ideas do exist in the third world countries as they would like to call and believe,3rd!!!, which needs support and recognition , but a map of STRIPE payments platform under “Partner Program” that is supported by MEDIUM for payments ,paints a dismal picture.Just having a look at “the map of countries supported” can piss the 3RD world off, and their kind request to let them know that we exist throws me back to the lures of “ADVENTURE OF ROBINSON CRUSOE”.It looks same when they taught the great grandfathers of colonial lands that they were born masters and others their slaves,when they told them again that their ships had monopoly over the trade and whipped several butts to make believe,and defined philosophy of east saying land of idles and beggars, as science was their wisdom and weapon, for surely it was and is.
Everywhere it seems, charity is on the way, a charity where saying you are not that that capable, we can not feel your presence,help us to know whether you are capable of our charity or not.
These dogmas are prevalent in the higher echelons of the so-called ‘influential’ across the globe, but deep in the dots of black haired populace, brown and black and wheatish skin, lies white brain brimming with light-JESUS’S light, only we call it from different names and go to other fancy buildings of wood, cement and bricks different from church ,but serving the same purposes -namely temples,monasteries,pagodas,mosques.
For all the years of colonialism and capitalism have produced tremendous geniuses across varying fields, and their pile of wreckage lie here in our worlds, yes we have heard your stories and about your profits as well, for who knows while I am writing ,some white brain with light in the skull ,around too perhaps,is preparing to time travel,and just for a chance if he is the one who takes offence, might undo it’s colonisation spree, and leave our folks as we are, well then, instead of handling black keys on laptop, I might be charming black cobras, being a snake charmer,not so charming, isn't it? Yet both are deadly if you know what I mean.
This story is of hope, hope that our stories will be told and rewarded, our ideas taken to the multitudes but with the right price, people here have paid different costs than what I am asking you to, for if you reason, one can understand that east confronts the unknown first every new day, allowing west to learn from the mistakes of east. The hope lies in this aspect of rewarding, not in terms of charity, but helping east in self sustenance just like the west, to dispel the myth and deliver RENAISSANCE version 2.0.
I know it is quibbling on my part, but an issue is an issue. Because I carry the idea of medium, medium of exchange, medium of barter. A mere hint is an ocean for intellectuals here, spread the word, and don’t forget to look at the map.
“love from the east”!
