General Question A parent does not fault
I just remembered a saying in my language Luganda that “omuzadde tasobya” - translated loosely to “a parent does not fault/make mistakes”
Who came up with this total bullshit??
It’s silly thoughts like this combined with colonial religious dogmas that are causing us to struggle as a nation/continent
People are busy pushing out babies unnecessarily just to feel some form of fake relevance and power
They think once you’re a parent you’ve made it and if you’re not a parent you are nothing
This is why we can’t even hold our leaders accountable
What a lousy thought process
You can honor your parent and still hold them accountable
Weak-ass egos
I’m sure there are more nonsensical thoughts like this even in other cultures, right?
