There’s a need to do a mental detox. Delete the stereotypes of other people that exist in your mind. When it comes to stereotypes, one does not represent a whole. Be quick to address your biases anytime they raise their heads. Do not pretend that they do not exist. Only strike their heads before they affect your judgment of people or situations. South Sudan is a secular country, according to the country’s constitution. Our constitution is not based on tribalism, racism, religion or any negative phenomenon that divide our innocent people, but is based on equality, justice regardless or your color, tribe or religion. The Constitution guarantees individuals the freedom to profess and practice their religion. Many of the religions believe in unity and peace yet I wonder why we draw the sword at the slightest provocation? Many of the religions preach selflessness, yet why is the ‘self’ always at the center of our daily interactions? Why do we refuse to see everyone as a part of one body? Our religions and cultures and even our politicians in South Sudan have one thing in common: they preach love and peace and unity. So, what separates us so? I forget that because something exists in theory does not mean that it exists in practice.
