Product Description
by Carol Ann Johnson (Editor), Fetsum Abraham (Author)
This book is about the experience of an Eritrean in the era of the nation's struggle for freedom and independence. It reflects the objective reality of the Eritrean experience from the periphery and/or from within the struggle. Through this book, I have the opportunity to transmit that I became what I became by accident and I had to live what my being brought to my existence one way or another for this life. But I designed my psychic integrity by incidence: Nature is responsible for my actuality but I am responsible for my concept of existence. My state of mind states that I should not exasperate a mess at the expense of my stress, I should Kill my arrogance with modesty and harass my ego with humility. I should surrender to the inner-self to defend humanity and look through the lenses of compassion to impact society. My existence is only worth when I use it with my impermanence on the background. It ain't worth to be a prisoner of greed, race, ethnicity or power for opportunism can easily be directed towards spirituality rather than to individuality. I want to universalize my outlook and stand for justice anywhere applicable.
