Toti Kalunga owandjeni? (Do you consider God to be from your home?)

A man from Opuwo residing in Windhoek needed N$100.00 one day, and he has a friend who is a Kwambi woman in Opuwo. To beg her for N$100.00, he chooses to call his buddy, a Kwambi woman. The gentleman referred to his Kwambi acquaintance and said, "Life is not always balanced as they used to say." According to the saying, a good friend is one who assists you in times of need rather than abandoning you to fend for yourself. However, things did not turn out as predicted that day. A man from Opuwo who lives in Windhoek phoned a Kwambi woman on the phone, and despite the fact that one of them speaks Otjiherero and the other Oshiwambo, both of them are able to communicate in both languages.

Even in your darkest mood, when someone welcomes you with a genuine smile and sincerity, most likely you would notice the greeting and reply correctly, the gentle began chatting in Oshiwambo to arrange his friend. Such a greeting has the potential to be so potent that it could even cause you to grin and instantly lift your mood. In response to the woman's initial "ongiini lyamee" (How are you, my buddy) question, a Kwambi woman said, "nawa owala shike." Good, what do you want? She asked. The man replied, "What's up, my dear friend? I suppose greeting is one of the essential roles of communication and generates constructive dialogues. Or maybe you didn't want me to greet you in Oshiwambo or Oshikwambi for that matter.

 I thought greeting will make us feel more personally connected to one another. I apologize for my ignorance; I believed a simple (ngiini) could make someone like you who is alone smile. I had no idea that it would make you upset. I don't have time to continue with those many stories, so just tell me what you want me to do for you, she said. The man responded, "Please lend me N$100.00." Please lend it to me; I need it. What have you ever given me in your life, or just that refreshing drink you bought for me at Spar, the Kwambi woman retorted? The guys countered that I had previously purchased airtime. Do you think Kalunga wandjeni, I won't squander my money, my dear, and sometimes you think maybe God won't care for us as much as care for you? The woman retorted.

According to the Otjiherero proverb "The gentleman wa rasa orutake" (the gentleman licked a stirring stick), the gentleman had very significant issues. The man was at a loss for words once more. In Otjiherero, there is a proverb that reads, "Ehi ra ura ovikombe, ovakazendu va ura ovarumendu" (Wives conquered husbands and dust defeated brooms). i.e., things are in disarray and the situation has altered. The lady did not take into account the Oshiwambo saying, which reads, "The one who gives you little is better than nothing," but she thought the refreshing drink and the airtime were little to her. There are no ladders to go to the sky, so one cannot climb it. In the event that your defender perishes, you are left helpless and stranded. As a result of his shock, the man cut off the phone without saying goodbye.

Story of the Pretty Kwambi Lady I Met in the University

 

Story of the Pretty Girl I Met in the University

I went to the university to learn things, and other than that, I had nothing else on my mind. It's possible that luck won't come just because we hope for it. Since I had no idea what I would receive at the university, the saying "omeho kaye tjaerwa okumuna otjiṋa tji tji ha horekerwe" came to mind as to how this could possibly occur to me. Indicating that if something is not hidden, eyes won't be denied seeing it. Before Dr. Simasiku's class, which is the one I enjoy attending the most, in the early morning at Khomasdal Campus, I noticed this stunning Kwambi girl heading to the library. I make the decision to go to the library so I can spy on her there. She became more attractive as I got closer to her, but when I requested her number, she ignored me while accepting my greeting.

My thoughts kept returning to the fact that I needed to take action in order to get her number. While someone who merely sits around will never be successful at anything, someone who actively searches will probably uncover something beneficial. I did not pay attention to the class throughout that time. I was considering that beautiful lady.  I returned home while contemplating her because the night had been quite lengthy. I want to return and consider how I will approach her the following day. The girl was my senior; I didn't realize until much later that she was in her second year and I was in my first.

I believe I woke up early the following morning at 5:30 a.m. It was really dim. The humid summer air made me resent that I can't put off getting up. Sometimes growing up stinks. The dark room screamed back! Everything was dispersed everywhere as if they were all resisting waking awake. Since I did not have time to speak with the lovely Kwambi girl which was not a problem because I was already interested in her I was unaware of her tribe and did not take into account any rumours about her tribe.

"Wake up, man." I had a dream that someone had told me it was time. My ears felt as though cold iron had been poured into them. And all of a sudden, my forehead started to feel heated. This comforting caress that a woman can give. ‘I understand that leaving home is difficult, but you must leave to continue I was dreaming. I got ready and left to meet my friend at the University of Namibia's Khomasdal campus. We were traveling from my house to the Khomasdal campus. I was ready to search for the beautiful girl. The taxi arrived at 6:25. The escalator shook.

My hopes of the taxi being late were dashed, I realized. I boarded the taxi and we drove to Khomasdal. I sat down in my chair while still feeling tired in the hopes of having a pleasant dream. I immediately went to the DH Dining Hall to see if I could find her there. While there, I sat down next to Mr. Rutjindo, also known as Mr. K. K, who began chatting with me about the Okakarara girl who had caused him to misplace his computer charger and whom Mr. Tjaveondja had expressed interest in speaking with. As I made a right turn, I grumbled something. At that moment, I noticed a stunning Kwambi girl eating silently while keeping her jaw still.

Oh, dude! What a stunning woman. Round face, fair skin, and bright eyes. I went crazy looking at her coal-black Kwambi. I thought she was more attractive than Miss Namibia of that year while sitting away through the next window in the hallway. When she addressed the man seated in front of me as "Mr. Musutua," her attractive voice drove me bonkers. I couldn't stop staring at her. She turned around, her eyes glistening. I was more irritated by the internal struggle I was having. Or not to approach her. As usual, I came up short. I only ever become fixated on a stranger female for those four hours, believing I would never see her again. If I release her without speaking to her or obtaining her phone number. Then I cross the most stunning young woman. Ever.

Everyone makes oneself look better by imagining that other people see them the same way. She may not have understood what I wanted, but I really wanted it. I would say woman rather than girl. The woman who gave me a big smile at the whole is the most stunning woman I have ever seen. I first noticed her early in the morning. I adore Ms. H. Temoteus and her attractiveness, and she is the most BEAUTIFUL person I have ever seen.

I couldn't recall exactly where my lessons were that week. I did recall the time period, but I was picturing a stunning woman. One day, I was already running behind schedule; my 2 o'clock class had already begun, and I had just arrived at her class to ask for her phone number. I wasn't sure if she would give it to me because she didn't mind when I called her when I was in the DH. I was trying to check through the door, but since Dr. Julius was giving a lecture in the class, I could check adequately.

I suddenly saw a short, skinny female passing by me. Although I couldn't see her face, she had handbooks that her lecturer had given her. I reasoned that she must be enrolled in the same class. Then casually walked after her. The DH was a three-minute walk from the library, and I knew she would panic if she saw me following her for such a long distance.

The little girl was clothed entirely in black, and you could see the stray hairs flying out of the ponytail that had been haphazardly pulled back into a ponytail. I stared directly into her dark, smouldering eyes as she spun around to gaze at the person she believed had been stalking her through her spectacles. Eyes with a little concerned expression and an absence of shine in the proper proportion. Eyes that might seduce you without your knowledge. I urged her to introduce me to her class's most attractive student. She queries who that Hilya or person is. I remarked, "I don't know her; perhaps she is that one."

I was so confused that I missed seeing her face the beautiful girl. Those smouldering eyes were all I could think about. We've read and watched so much about it that to mention it now would seem too clichéd. However, all romance begins with that first glance. She must have noticed the books I was holding and realized I wasn't a stalker, just another classmate. She entered the room as I did, and as the lecturer started introducing English terms, the image of a lovely girl's grin grew more alluring and I started to give it a lot of thought.

I was running late again the next day. The girl with the black eyes ran past me once more as I descended at the university. It is a well-known truth that latecomers tend to show up rather frequently, and she shouted, "Hilya omumati omuherero ngwali tekupula ohela oye nguno." I don't want to reveal her name, but a stunning woman asked her in Oshiwambo, "okwahala shee?" Another girl said, "I do know okwekuhala mbela." The attractive woman wore all white today, including a white shirt with rolled-up sleeves and a pair of sky blue jeans. I had a strong urge to look into her eyes. She has an attraction of any kind, but on that day I was thinking about those troubled eyes was killing me. She turned around again today, shocking me by allowing me to see her face when I had thought I would never be able to go past those eyes. I asked for her phone number, but she refused to give it to me once more. She did behave improperly toward me, but she refused to give me her phone number.

She had baby-like features, sparkling white skin, and a short, blunt nose that split her round cheeks. These were, by a long shot, the biggest inflated cheeks I had ever seen. She had the most visible smoulder on her nose, giving off the impression that something was wrong. I'm aware that this sounds awful to the ears, but that's how I felt at the time. I'm not sure why. She is taking longer to give me her phone number.

After several months passed, the lovely girl offered me her phone number. I finally made the decision to call her and tell her the truth about who I am and what I want from her. I was given her phone number, but she did not take me. I had been coming to her whenever I saw her and whenever I had something to give in order to show her my affection. She finished her academics earlier than I did when she was my senior. After she finished her studies in my senior year, I tried to contact her but was unable for four months. Actually, I decided to send her a Whatsapp message because her phone number was invalid.

I requested that she respond as soon as she received the message because I still needed to talk to her. After a month, she responded, "Sorry, I'm not used to being on the network, but I got a temporary job at one school here in the Ongandjera areas. But I'm sorry still I'm not available for you now if God made us be together, don't worry, but not now." I'm not ready to be in a relationship with you right now but don't worry, we can still be friends if that's not the case. I've been attempting to contact her with the same tale for seven years since nothing can stop you from searching for someone you love.

The narrative is lovely and lengthy. We communicate well and I still love her. The lovely woman has only grown more lovely, and she works as a teacher somewhere in the Anamulenge constituency of Outapi.

To continue the narrative...

 

Many people in Namibia and beyond have misconceptions about Ovahimba marriage.

 

Many people in Namibia and beyond have misconceptions about Ovahimba marriage.

The Ovahimba culture has the strongest belief in quality history, making it the only one in Africa that does not lose sight of its roots. The Ovahimba culture typically does things that will not turn people against one another in the future, but there are a few significant things that most people do not understand about the Ovahimba culture because most other people have forgotten their roots.

The Ovahimba tribe historically wedded within their own groups. They have little faith in unions with members of other tribes due to a variety of reasons, including their desire to avoid pointless arguments. As a result, they rarely wed strangers. The Ovahimba think that great leadership is a prerequisite for anyone who wants to marry their child because they do not allow their children to marry everyone because they have strong leadership. One secret that most people haven't figured out is getting married to your muramwee, or tjiramwe as most people refer to it. The Ovahimba language is a powerful language that uses names specifically, in contrast to English which can use one word to refer to three different people. For example, the word cousin does not specify what types of cousins you are referring to, and the words aunt, uncle, and so on are all called differently and have different meanings in the Ovahimba language. Because the word has been misinterpreted and the majority of the other tribes in Namibia do not place it differently because they have lost the importance of their language, they do not call things correctly, and because of Christianity, they even have through their language names.

The Ovahimba wedded their tjiramwee understanding that a disagreement between the two would not take longer because they are one and share similar ideas and cultural practices because the phrase "blood thicker than water" has a significant meaning and is a caring one. Because they value extended families and appreciate all people, I hope other tribes have seen that all Ovahimba are family. The Ovahimba wedding ceremony differs from other wedding ceremonies that evolve into western ceremonies in that it does not involve lavish spending or the slaughter of a large number of cattle because the Ovahimba do not believe in one-day food but instead care for the young couple to live a healthy life free of debt. They handed the couple the cattle to utilize when they start their new life together rather than slaughtering a lot of livestock and spending a lot of money. Parents are always monitoring the relationships between the spouses to determine if they are mistreating one another or not and to ensure that they are still able to grow as individuals on a cultural level. Because people must leave to start their new lives together, the Ovahimba wedding does not last longer than two days. If it does, it may end up costing more than expected. Additionally, because the wedding is an internal affair involving only the couple, there is no need to invite the entire community.

The Ovahimba wedding is full of interesting conversation topics.

 

The Himbacracy Philosopher: Uerimanga Tjijombo

 

Tji kuhina ouramwe kuno ‘uraranganda, (In the absence of cousins, there are neighbours.)

 

Tji kuhina ouramwe kuno ‘uraranganda, (In the absence of cousins, there are neighbours.)

Ngatjiheue Maonḓi Christopher Nyambe Katongo Tjijombo, one of my little brothers, has done a great job of analyzing the matter. He claims that because the cousin is an English word, other tribes don't distinguish between cousins. Therefore, Ngatjiheue Maonḓi Christopher Nyambe Katongo Tjijombo has come up with a good calling for those words. He said that in Otjiherero speaking, let's stick to referring to the cousins of my father's sisters and my mother's brothers as ovaramwetu (tjiramue) and that those are the only people to whom we will use that term, while the cousins of my mother’s sisters and my father’s brothers are our sisters and brothers. According to my understanding as a Himbacracy Philosopher, it would be better for us not to waste time explaining everything about our culture to everyone because, even if you can explain it to them, they still won't understand because they don't know how important it is, but our culture means a lot to us, so we shouldn't act badly because we behave in accordance with our culture. Because you have been brainwashed, the instant you lose your culture, you will begin defending western civilization. Don't lecture me on the law; everything is made legal by force in the legal system. In Western law, which is their culture, nothing is established in the law. We are an honourable tribe with a robust culture, weṱe ovandu mbaza komao omanene wa Afrika mbeya pamwe nongombe.

Himbacracy Philosophy

 

 

Himbacracy Philosophy

Individuals that are considered genuine attempt to match their activities with their underlying values and beliefs with the intention of discovering and acting in accordance with their true selves. When people act in ways that contradict their self-concept, they may experience negative emotions ranging from slight discomfort to intense guilt. They adhere to all Himba cultural steps and adopt cultural norms and beliefs in accordance with cultural conventions.

What Is Himbacracy Philosophy?

Simply said, himbacracy philosophy implies remaining faithful to your own personality, beliefs, culture, Himba rules, and spirit in the face of external pressure. You are truthful with yourself and others, and you accept responsibility for your faults. Himbacarcy is derived from the words Himba and cracy. Himba denotes the ovahimba people and cracy denotes rule/control. The phrase Himbacracy Philosophy was coined by the one known as himself. Himbacracy Uerimanga Tjijombo is a philosopher.

There is a dispute about whether people have an innate self that they must discover, or whether the true self is malleable and influenced by the decisions they make throughout their lives. It has proven difficult to define and measure the feature, but an ongoing study intends to identify the components of himbacracy and establish its links to self-esteem, goal achievement, coping abilities, and a variety of other psychological benefits of Himba people in Namibia.

It's not always easy to live himbacracycally. Being true to what you believe is correct sometimes involves going against the crowd. It may simply be unusual, exposing yourself to the potential of being harmed by others, and taking the more difficult path. This is a show of forgiveness and cooperation as a family; in reality, in Himba culture, most Himba is linked either by matrilineal or patrilineal descent.

On the one hand, you must accept that you will miss certain opportunities. However, in the long run, it is likely to open up a plethora of new opportunities; opportunities that would just not be available to someone who has been perceived to be shifty, conflicted, vacillating, or inauthentic.

A life of himbacarcy is also far more satisfying than disguising your genuine nature. You don't have to worry about what you said (or didn't say), how you acted, or whether you did the correct thing when you live himbacracycally. Living in himbacracy means you can implicitly trust yourself and your reasons.

There are several other benefits of being himbacracy.

Trust and respect: When you are true to yourself, you not only trust your own judgments and decisions, but others do as well. They will admire you for remaining firm in your ideals and views.

Integrity: You have integrity when you are real. You never second-guess yourself because you never hesitate to do the correct thing. Who you are, what you do, and what you believe in are all perfectly aligned.

Ability to deal with problems: When you are honest with yourself and others, you have the strength and openness to deal with problems as they arise, rather than postponing or ignoring them.

Realizing potential: You can reach your greatest potential in life if you trust yourself and do what you believe is right. Instead of allowing others to tell you what is best for you, you take charge of your life.

Confidence and self-esteem: When you are himbacracy and doing the right thing, you can trust yourself to make the right decisions. As a result, people have more self-confidence and self-esteem, are more optimistic, and are more satisfied with their lives.

Less stress: How would you feel if you spoke what you meant, kept loyal to yourself, and acted accordingly every day? Imagine how happy and confident you'd feel! Being himbacracy to yourself is considerably less stressful than pretending to be someone else.

Note:

Honesty is essential in himbacracy. There is, however, a distinction between being brutally honest and being truthful with others.

Dr. Harriet Lerner, a psychologist, distinguishes between these notions in her 1994 book "The Dance of Deception." She claims that while honesty might occasionally represent our unfettered thoughts and feelings, truth necessitates tact, timing, kindness, and understanding for the other person. We should constantly attempt to be genuine with those around us because raw honesty might be perceived as hostile, judgmental, or even arrogant by others. Our relationships and jobs might also be jeopardized by unfiltered honesty.

How do researchers define himbacracy?

The topic is still discussed today, but in 2020, philosopher Uerimanga Tjijombo created a Himbcracy Philosophy Inventory that included four crucial factors:

1. Himbacracy Self-awareness: Understanding and confidence in one's own motivations, emotions, preferences, and abilities.

2. Himbacracy Unbiased processing: Clarity in assessing your own strengths and faults, free of denial or blame.

3. Himbacracy Behavior: Behaving in ways that are consistent with your own values and needs, even if it means risking criticism or rejection.

4. Himbacracy  Relational orientation: Close connections necessitate transparency and honesty.

How does Himbacracy change over the lifespan?

The path to himbacracy is a lifelong adventure, but certain times of the year may provoke more exploration than others. Adolescents and young adults try out new friends, lovers, interests, and occupations to see what feels right for them now and in the future. People in their forties and fifties may reflect on their identity, assessing whether the decisions they've made in their careers and relationships have offered fulfillment.

How has social media influenced himbacracy?

The internet has significantly increased the capacity for self-expression. However, people's identities on social media sometimes diverge from what they consider to be their genuine selves, or who they are offline. It can be beneficial for such persons to consider whether their social media presence fully conveys their identity so that their community or audience can understand them in a way that is consistent with their genuine selves.

Does himbacracy benefit mental health?

Himbacracy is a foundation for happiness. Self-esteem, purpose, vitality, and the ability to define and achieve goals are all associated with the attribute. It's also associated with coping abilities that allow people to negotiate life's obstacles in healthy ways rather than turning to self-destructive habits like drugs or alcohol, and it may function as a buffer against the harmful consequences of loneliness.

Is himbacracy related to mindfulness?

Mindfulness is defined as being aware of one's experiences without passing judgment on them. According to research, those who score higher on himbacracy questionnaires are also more aware and emotionally sophisticated. This relationship could be bidirectional: practicing mindfulness and learning about emotional intelligence could provide people the tools they need to be more authentic, causing them to think differently and become more observant, accepting, and adaptable.

How to Be Himbacracy

Being a himbacracy requires the ability to be introspective and comprehend one's own motivations. However, accurate self-awareness can be a double-edged sword if it discloses unpleasant realities or shortcomings that one would rather not admit. However, supporters of himbacracy say that in the long run, being correct is preferable to be biased.

Being himbacracy can sometimes put a person in conflict with their greater peer group, especially if their evolving viewpoint is unpopular. However, himbacracy people would not seek acceptance from others or succumb to social pressures about what they should or should not do. Following an internal compass provides them with enough affirmation for their mental health.

It will take time to discover and develop your himbacracy personality. It is, rather, a lifetime process of discovery. To begin, take the following steps:

1. Adhere to Your Values

Living honestly means that you live according to your core values and beliefs and that your personal goals come from these. Your first step should be to determine your basic values and commit to living and working in accordance with them. You must then develop personal and professional goals that are compatible with these.

Sometimes you have to make an ethically difficult decision; knowing your underlying principles will help you do the right thing. Our article on ethical leadership will assist you in navigating these circumstances. (For further information, see our book Insight on Ethics for the Real World.)

2. Determine the Deficiency

Is there a disconnect between who you are now and who you know you could be?

Do you, for example, wear a mask while at work? Perhaps you're more abrasive than you'd like to be with your team because you believe that's how a leader gets things done. Perhaps you assume a light-hearted attitude because you don't want others to think you're boring since you take your job seriously. Or perhaps you're filled with ideas that you never share because you're worried your team will dismiss them, leaving you feeling confined and dissatisfied.

Try to find these gaps by making a list of adjectives that represent the attributes of the person you know you can be and considering how closely these reflect your real personality.

Then, choose one word from this list to begin working on - for example, perhaps you want to be more "open." Use personal goal-setting tools and make a commitment to working on this every day. Setting small goals and focusing on one trait at a time is more practical than attempting to overhaul your entire life at once.

3. Maintain Your Integrity

Developing and maintaining integrity requires guts. Begin by scrutinizing your daily decisions. You will often have an intuitive sense of what is right and wrong: your goal is to learn how to listen to that "little voice" - that sense of unease - that warns you that something is wrong. Examine each decision you make and consider which one will make you feel good about yourself the next day.

Living with integrity also entails accepting responsibility for your actions, including mistakes. Accept responsibility for your decisions and work relentlessly to correct any flaws.

4. Communicate Himbacracycally

Honest communication entails speaking what you mean but also respecting the needs and feelings of the other person. This requires emotional intelligence as well as excellent communication abilities.

It also implies that you don't play games: you speak your mind without relying on cryptic clues or other strategies to get your point across. (In our article on Transactional Analysis, you may learn more about the secret games that individuals can play and how to avoid paying for them.)

Communicating honestly also entails honouring your promises - if you offer someone your word, see it as a connection. Never make a promise you are unable to keep.

5. Avoid Making Assumptions

It's all too simple to make assumptions about other people. Try to suspend your judgments if they aren't really essential. Allow others' actions to speak for themselves, rather than taking their words at face value.

You could find that if you make an attempt to be open-minded with others, they will reciprocate.

6. Develop Your Self-Confidence

Himbacracy necessitates character strength, especially when people are pressuring you to act in a way you know is wrong. This is why you should work on improving your self-esteem. A strong sense of self and the assertiveness required to stand on your own will assist you in navigating difficult situations.

7. Control Your Emotions

When you live himbacracycally, you consider the needs of others and try to treat them with decency and respect. This includes knowing how to control your emotions in tough situations.

This is a vital facet of practicing himbacracycally since it demonstrates inner strength and respect for those around you, and it's a talent worth mastering because it will benefit you in many aspects of your life and career.

Note:

As previously stated, being authentic may entail passing up certain short-term chances. After all, it's always tempting to pitch your strongest points and, perhaps, exaggerate a little in order to land those great-looking prospects.

In actuality, there are situations when this may be advantageous. However, there will be occasions when you will fall flat on your face and ruin your reputation. In either case, you're not setting yourself up for long-term happiness.

It is usually preferable to first understand your own beliefs and genuine strengths and then work hard to identify chances where these values and strengths may truly help you succeed. (Creating a professional strategy can help with this.) You may be genuine, joyful, and successful all at the same time.

Key Points

Himbacracy is defined as living your life according to your own needs and values rather than those of society, friends, and family. Living himbacracycally has various advantages, including increased respect from others, the ability to reach your true potential, and happiness and well-being.

Developing himbacracy takes a lifetime. To get started, follow these steps:

1. Determine your values.

2. Determine who you want to be.

3. Maintain your integrity.

4. Communicate openly.

5. Avoid making assumptions.

6. Develop your self-esteem.

7. Control your emotions.

Have fun living truthfully!

How do I become a more himbacracy person?

The process of developing himbacracy is ongoing. To begin, consider your values. What changes can you make to live more in line with your values? You can observe yourself objectively (imagine you're a fly on the wall or evaluating someone else) and notice which actions and choices feel corrupt and which do not. Examining early belief systems or ingrained patterns that no longer serve you to understand the basis of current ideas can help you move forward.

What are the characteristics of himbacracy people?

Genuine people share a few characteristics. They tend to take their time developing an opinion and speaking their views, respond to internal rather than outward demands, and construct their own route to achieve their passion and purpose. They are not scared of failure and are willing to accept their flaws. They frequently have low self-esteem and are less critical of others.

What are the characteristics of inhimbacracy people?

If a person is defensive and self-deceptive, they are most likely not being honest with themselves. Inauthentic people have inaccurate conceptions of reality, want acceptance and reinforcement from others, are judgmental, do not think things through, do not learn from mistakes, and are unable to communicate emotions effectively or comprehend their own motivations.

 

Why is it hard to be himbacracy?

Being a himbacracy demands bravery. Disclosing your true self, such as voicing opposing political opinions or providing honest feedback to a loved one, may enrage others. It exposes you to rejection or treachery. Furthermore, himbacracy necessitates a significant amount of mental energy and the commitment to constantly assess your ideals, options, and actions.

Why are we drawn to genuine people?

We are drawn to real people rather than people who just agree with whatever we say or do because those who are true and honest with themselves are likewise inclined to be true and honest with us. Himbacracy is also linked to a variety of appealing characteristics, such as confidence, strength, individualism, and emotional resilience.

 

Write about your culture.

 

Write about your culture.

According to Himbacracy Philosopher, as a cultural stronghold, we have not done anything wrong, but we have failed to write our own culture. I use the word "we" since none of us so-called educated Himbas or Ovahimba have published anything about our culture to date. Otjihimba is a respected culture that is unique in Namibia. They did nothing wrong with their culture, but the world evolved too quickly. As a result, we were expected to write more about our culture.

We did not lose out on learning, we did not miss out on evolving, but we did miss out on writing, and as a result, we missed out on the opportunity to make it big. We not only missed out on the potential to make our culture recognized, but we also missed out on the ability to preserve our unique identity. The moral of this story is that if we change, we must produce books and tell stories about our culture in order to preserve it. If you don't want to write about your own culture, that's fine. However, if your views and thinking are unable to keep up with the times, you will be forgotten, and if your culture is lost, you will lose your identity as a person.

To summarize, the edge you had yesterday will be supplanted by tomorrow's trends. You don't have to do anything wrong; as long as others catch the wave and do it correctly, you can lose out and fail, and they will start writing your culture and selling it to you. Giving yourself a second opportunity means changing and improving yourself. Being forced to hang by others is akin to being rejected. Those who refuse to study and progress will eventually become obsolete and irrelevant in their own culture. They will learn the lesson the hard and costly way.
