Where Do You Belong? by peretei2024(m): 11:00am On Jan 18, 2023
*Where do you belong?*
Unless you understand your role in society, you can never make any meaningful contribution.

According to the Greeks there are three types of people on earth,
- the *idiots* ,
- the *tribesmen* , and
- the *citizens* .

Studies show only *10%* of Africans are citizens.
The remaining *90%* are either *tribesmen* or *idiots* .

1. When the Greeks used the word *"idiot"*, they did not use it as a curse word.
*Idiots* are people who just don’t care.
If they write exams, they will cheat.
If they are in government they will steal.
*An idiot* does not care at all, if he eats bananas he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting them in a trash bin.

*IDIOTS* *won't attend monthly neighborhood meetings. They won't pay security dues. They won't contribute to community development. Even when they see or know about something that will harm others in the community they won't report it* . When they see/know/have something that will benefit their community they won't share. Infact, *Idiots* don't care to register for or vote in an election yet they complain the most. If they register to vote, *IDIOTS* will sell their votes for peanuts.

According to the Greeks, some societies have more *idiots* than *tribesmen* and *citizens* .

2. The next set of people are *tribesmen* , these are people that look at everything from the point of view of their tribe.

These are people that believe in you only if you are part of their tribe.
It can be terrible to have a tribesman as a leader, he will alienate the rest.

When the Greeks talk about tribes, it’s not just about ethnicity, they also consider religion, gang membership, group membership, *party membership* and even cult membership as a tribe.
A great percentage of Africans are *tribesmen* , because they view everything from the point of view of their tribes.
They trust only their *tribesmen* .

3. The last group are *citizens.*
These are people that like to do things the right way.
They will respect traffic light rules even if no one is watching them.
They drive within speed limits.
They respect the laws, won’t cheat in exams.
In government they won’t steal.
They are compassionate and give to others to promote their wellbeing.

*Citizens* often promote projects that benefit everyone.
The Greeks called this group the *citizens* .

Some countries have more *citizens* than *tribesmen* and *idiots* .
Others have so many *idiots* .

A *tribesman* can become a *citizen* through orientation.
And an *idiot* can become a *citizen* by training and constant enforcement of the law.

But things fall apart if you elect an *idiot* or *tribesman* to lead you if he has not been reformed.

Where do you belong?
Are you an *idiot* , a *tribesman* or a *citizen* ?

Reflect about your life.

*REFLECT ABOUT YOUR IMMEDIATE COMMUNITY, CITY, STATE & NATION.*

God be with us all Amen.
