Money makes the world go round. Some may argue that it puts food on the table, so no money no honey. Whether you’re late for your colonoscopy or on time to find out that every divorce is filled with distant memories in the Mediterranean sunset, he who laughs last, laughs best.
Every shrink will be determined to prove me wrong even when it’s clear that they need more than one test subject to come up with research that would be deemed accurate by any other academicians. So why the vendetta?, why the bitterness?, who’s supposed to be the Guinea pig?. I’m expecting a bunch of them to investigate my choice of clothes, taste in music, and with that information gossip about whether or not I get regular bowel movements.
Every dog has it’s day, Instagram was not meant for those who share poorly edited photos of time spent at a below par eating house, mutura and ketchup is a delicacy designed only for those resistant to micro-organisms that cause bloody diarrhoea.
In the midst of all this, all the shrinks in town should be the ones to objectively come up with a detailed analysis on which house I should be associated with. Be it Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin, there are a lot of factors that are a prerequisite for anyone to be Democrat or Republican, Liberal Democrat or Conservative, CCM or CHADEMA.
If you grew up in the height of the Nyerere era, where most Tanzanians lived in villages and had only one radio station to listen to, and followed that up by the extreme radicalisation at the old JKT, then you probably pledge your allegiance to CCM. You probably prefer using an iPhone and are very stubborn and one dimensional when analysing any situation. As a CCM fanatic, your loyalty is measured not only by your ability to stick tp the party’s stance at all times but also the dirty work, that is mostly done behind closed doors.
On the other hand, if you grew up in Tanzania around the time where the internet became popular, the DSTV era, the .com era, then you’re more likely to be open-minded. You’re more likely to have a wild imagination and varying opinions on a variety of issues. You also tend to be more logical when analyzing different situations and because of that are able to shoot down many bad ideas before an excruciating post-mortem by the stubborn old people.
So yes, sloppiness, promiscuity, farting in public and drinking till comatose are more evident in those who are old and very grumpy.
Varying opinions are not welcome in a society laden with CCM members in positions of authority. Tortured to death for reading a book or a newspaper?, speaking in hush tones out of fear of your conversation being intercepted by the secret police?, the ride of a lifetime for choosing to think independently. To what end?
As academic as it may sound, ties to any political party have everything to do with an ideology. A blueprint with information on how and why they do what they do. Being CCM or CHADEMA is more about how you think and is not necessarily related to how many beers you drink everyday or how often you cheat on your wife. The society you up grew in, the schools you attended, the friends you had growing up, to a large extent, contribute to whether or not you have a certain party’s DNA imprinted in you. By a certain age, the foundation is usually laid.
So yes, dark psychology tactics by your shrink to forcefully make you believe that 2+2=5 are not the answer to our problems. It is important for all of us to stop the action packed CSI Miami episodes and accept our fellow Tanzanians regardless of their political affiliation. Moreover, CCM members should acknowledge that it is the accomplishment of their manifesto that gets them re-elected and as a result, should stop thinking that they need to change anyone for their own personal endeavors.
