The Cost of the independent paradigm

By Peter Chuol Gatluak

Jan 27, 2007 — When we try to satisfy needs and fulfill capacities through an independent achievement of south Sudan struggle. There’s only so much time, so we have to maximize our satisfaction, sample as much as we can to achieve our liberation goal. Intentionally, the Sudan’s People Liberation Movement (SPLM) rushed the war without clear agenda through the line, grabbing as much variety as possible for its political dirty game. And now the SPLM and its leaders become gluttons of experiences and sensations.

SPLM rushed the liberation war of south Sudan nation, to maintain a healthy lifestyle takes to much time and effort its egos for power. The SPLM leadership they say, we eat what we want, rape any women we want, do what we want, burn the candle at both ends but they do not know they really rushed to live. SPLM dream would be like when we rush to love. It means we have hit-and-run relationships often leaving broken bodies and broken lives strewn along the path regardless of meaning or means.

We want benefits of marriage, but we don’t make the emotional commitment to live a life of rich interdependence, of selfless service, of sensitivity, of continuous improvement of character to it grow. We bring children into the world, but we’re not too committed to the tremendous time and effort it takes to teach and train, love and listen. I sample a few of the fruits from the relationships closet to us, but there’s no time to reach out to others and love on a broader basis.

But What If We Don’t Agree?

Chances are good we all often see things differently when we begin to create stewardship agreements on our nation issues. Brothers and sisters, that’s great difference is the beginning of synergy, by going through the process of peace and stability of south Sudan nation, we talk about it. It means we seek for creative third-alternative solutions. We don’t tiptoe around the issues of national interest and live with the negative consequences of unresolved issues and unexpressed filling. Instead, we use our human endowments to address and synergistically resolve the differences.

In the long search for a solution, sustainability and a system that could ensure prosperity so many forms of government systems have been tried and failed, unfortunately. Until the concept of democracy though not the best political system, there is no system to replaced it on the face of this planet-Earth was discovered. It naturally assumed to be the only durable form of governance or mechanism in dealing with the human nature. But totalitarianism and colonialism have resisted democratic reform. Thus, the modern world has been pitted against itself by two schools of thoughts, namely, “capitalism against communism and totalitarianism against democracy” and then many other factors have complicated the situation.

The Solution: There is no human, business, societal problems without solutions. Because such endemic problems are created by human beings, it is always possible to find relative rather absolute solutions to such prevailing and impeding problems. The tragedy that is facing mankind is its stubbornness to seek solutions to such problems it has created and its failure to mitigate or seek solutions make mankind to become inevitably part and parcel of the problems. A correct diagnosis of the problems thus represents the basis for a creative and analytic solution because as human beings, we have, of course, fallacies and contradictions that have been inculcated by our traditional circumstances and values.
