Katika siasa za Tanzania ni lini tutaacha kusemana ni lini tutaanza kuzisema political ideas za kujenga uchumi. Tunataka kuona watu wakiandika nyuzi za kujenga hoja za kukuza uchumi na sio kuwasema watu.
Nyuzi nyingi zinazoanzikwa ni za chuki kwa watu fulani au viongozi fulani.
Hii ni maana gani, je watu hawana maarifa ya kutosheleza ya kutoa hoja za kujenga.
Kuna msemo unasema
"Great Minds Discuss Ideas. Average Minds Discuss Events. Small Minds Discuss People"
Katika msemo huo tunapata watu wa aina tatu:
1. Watu wenye akili kubwa (great minds people)
2. Watu wenye akili ya kati (average minds people)
3. Watu wenye akili ndogo (small minds people)
Discussing people here means to talk about a person, typically in a negative, gossipy way.
Discussing events means to talk about the events happening around the world. Discussing ideas means to understand the higher level messages behind an event, to understand human behavior, to look beyond what’s given, and to find solutions to help the world.
“Small minds discuss people,” it means that those who discuss people as an end to itself are shallow. Unfortunately, a fair segment of the media and our population today dedicate themselves to discussing people. You have tabloid magazines, celebrity gossip sites, and people who follow celebrity gossip like it is the central goal of their lives.
Office politics is not uncommon. People backstab and criticize each other more often than we like. Even our politicians today make personal attacks and conduct smear campaigns. Online, we often see people shaming or attacking each other, or worse still, others supporting such behavior and joining in the attack, rather than taking a higher ground.
“Average Minds Discuss Events” When you switch from discussing people to events, there is an improvement because you look beyond people and focus on events. There is an element of objectivity as you’re now looking at facts, figures, and occurrences. Yet it is a logical fallacy to think that just discussing events makes us smarter.
“Great Minds Discuss Ideas” As someone becomes more curious about the world and looks beyond what’s immediately visible, they start to talk about not just people or events, but ideas.
Why people do the things they do. What drives them:
Why issues like murder, mass shootings, war, and crimes are happening. What we can do to prevent such violence;
How we can uplift others;
How we can improve as people;
World issues, because we’re not just citizens of a country but a citizen of the world;
Whether the direction we’re moving in, as a society, as a world, is actually good for us;
And most important of all, ideas to improve the world.
Discussing ideas means not just taking what is presented to you, but digging deeper. Understanding root causes. Understanding how something came to be. Questioning realities. Identifying solutions.
Find yourself in which part are you. Je, upo kwenye small minds, Je upo kwenye average minds au upo kwenye great minds.
Nyuzi nyingi zinazoanzikwa ni za chuki kwa watu fulani au viongozi fulani.
