The Prudent Oromo

"Victorious Causes are pleasing to God, and a defeatist causes are pleasing to Lenco Lataa". Just think about the force that displaced more than millions of people from their lands, properties, and stable life on their own safe territories for the most unexplainable and unexamined reasons, and these types of force and accidents brings changes that injures that cripple a society from achieving human dignity. Therefore; we should resign to two not alternatively separate but alarming Factual, one is to admit with conviction that Oromo have been fully experiencing the cruelty and and the insufficiency of Ethiopianism from the start of rhe turn 19 century to the very current existing pseudo federal government, thus, urgently consider that the stake is high and it is NOTHING LESS THAN THE EXISTENCE OF THE OROMO PEOPLE AND OROMIYYAA where the comprehensive in its consequences is without OROMIYYAA. The alternative of being others or the alternative is keeping things the way they are right now. What are the choices Oromo people have? Doing the right things for Oromo is to agreeing that the existing partnerships with the cruel and tyrannical government and people has never ever worked, but keeping Oromo in the bottom ranking of social classes on it's own land & resources. "It has been Frequently remarked that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether society of men are really capable of or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accidents and force" (The Federalist Paper). This is not simply historical document but to very this last hours go with us. As a people we have to reflect and choose what are befitting to our liberty and safeties. Many accidents and forces have occurred on the Oromo people. That can happen anytime the same way it have happened in the past and recent Oromo people movements.... consider a long-term consequences...

The most unjust thing to accept is that for a society to remain under oppression in the 21st century, and a government that is:  "Atrocious against Oromo in the name of War" "Discordant because of sedition, and rebellions,   (an using excuse to imprison, peoples leaders and resistances) "Remains cruel in peace and war"  The 1st mode makes them secure and feared after glory and such things have had happened historically throughout the world. The 2nd mode since Oromo do its plots openly and it shouts it its affair loudly it helps them live a cautiously in anxiety. The 3rd mode leaves them an internal infamy that they forever live feared. And this is a fact that Oromo experienced and lived under such situation for over century and half, it is almost the fear and confusions are engraved on the bone of many Oromo.  In crucial time Oromo must act on any luck, opportunities, with fast judgement, therefore no opportunity is wasted.  Not acting in such manner will cost a heavy price, which we have already experienced a bad habits in a society that do not taka a risk regarding to defend its existence.  Therefore, we can strengthen our spirit and have a conviction of the self. Who you are?  To which community do you belong to? Pick a side, Pick a side, have a true cause.  Know that when situations are intense and threating there is a wisdom in maintaining the name meanness. Know a problem that occurred with force must be encountered with equal or greater force. A problem that is rooted in the mind, it requires a solution that speaks to mind what is called rendering the lazy vigilant.  Must do as some excellent men has done it in the past. Anyone who ignores everyday reality in order to live up to the ideal will soon discover that he/she has been taught how to destroy her/himself, not how to preserve the self.  These are the types of knowledges and understanding makes some prudent people do things they do.  Which the following season two will continue discussing on the orders of "tasks" the prudent do, to discover and maintain kingdom and society, so My main subject will be Oromiyyaa and Prudent Oromo Leaders goals and they lay foundation for todays generation identity.  

All lessons tied together in make a community understand all aspects and keep in perspectives by considering into relation to everything regarding one's liberty, which one should have if not by natural dispositions, but must cultivate adoptability and changing with circumstances, because if push comes to shove that if one cannot change naturally to meet the circumstances, if cannot flip the switch when necessities call for it, it is better to be impetuous/aggressive cautious, better to spur of -the-moment.  And at the end" Exhortation to seize OROMIYYA and FREE her from the BARBARIANS." And do not let opportunities slip by you, pass by you because you lucked prudentialism, because you lacked preparation with conviction, and you lucked to see your goal in light. Learn" the Excellence of Theseus, that the Athenian be dispersed, so at present to know that the virtue of Oromiyyaa spirit, it was necessary that Oromiyyaa reduced to the condition in which she is at present which is more enslaved than the Hebrew, more servile than the Persian, more dispersed than the Athenian without a head without order, beaten and despoiled, torn, pillaged, and having endure ruin of every sort".  And many nations after undergoing servitudes to others have gained liberty and defense to maintain that society with human liberty.  And the mode to gain liberty, and to defend it, and to maintain respectability (remain respected) was and still is through strength and with a strong guardian class that comes out of the same community.   

For Self Preservation:  This is Geo Political Operations, to seize any opportunities to create a leader who can take a chance as an impetuous, who would grab the bull by its horn to unite the Oromo people, and the Oromo people that can compete with other neighbors and nations states. 

Oromo Must have a real awakening with conviction before making any choices and decisions.  Must know and have a true courage in order to claim its identity and its greatness, and must overcome this great difficulties.  Take a well planned and strategic action in the name of greater cause, and the greater culture.  Adopt quietude that noise, therefore you play card is not shown through the hype of emotion. 

from these types of combats, one is with Law, and the other is the combat of force; the first one is most appropriate to human, and the combat of force appropriate for beast.  But because the first one is not often enough but it is for the society it has already have its own centralized command center and institutions of laws and human affair is already established and functioning; therefore until that happens for the Oromo people it must recourse to the second for of combat, The Combat of Force.  Also must acquire certain necessary qualities or traits.  These qualities are not only for the Oromo people to have but also that to be acquired by leaders as every great leaders did. These qualities are the quality of Lion and the quality of Fox. listen to the Podcast to find out how they work. 

The political crime and cruelty against Oromo people is not of new but customary that every coming and leaving power grabbers exercised to injure them, and the Oromo people should know the political reasons that "if you do them minor damages they will net their revenges, but if you cripple them there is nothing they can do, if you injure someone do it in the way that you do not have to fear their revenges"  and this is a discussion how others think in securing a new territory how one merely eliminate the surviving members of the previous people and their rulers. How do we know this history unless one acquires full knowledge of it, and how to revers the same concept used against Oromo people correct its tendency. Anyone who ignores everyday reality in order to live up to the ideal will soon discover that he has been thought how to destroy oneself.  As Oromo the starkest anatomy of power one should follow its declared without fear without hesitations to show Oromo and the Oromo leaders how to preserve and survive in the world as it is not the world as it should be.    

Suppose the Oromo people collectively comes to realization that “community is individual writ large” and have three parts the prudent leaders and thinkers, the guardian class and the worker class. The guardian class, soldiers, noble puppies, auxiliaries must be fierce toward enemies yet gentle to those at home (citizens). Strong swift and bold yet love the citizen and the well-being of the citizen that supports it. The prudent, the leadership that goes through meritorious test for a position of influence and power. And the eight cycles of stages in Gadaa the Oromo governance system was and still is the culturally based political system of governance with codes of conducts. I will leave the details to those who are qualified to elaborate. For example, if we are testing someone for a leadership position, we are going to base our decision on merit. It is important for Oromo to understand what those meritorious materials and characteristics are, because the Oromo societal political structure is based on merit. The merit, discussed in here is that a merit of nobility and a properly cultured community member that whom natural manner is in order, and did not change from the noble characteristics by forgetfulness, wizardry, corruption… and so on and the society can identify them as naturally as they are because after all leadership in Oromo society is similar to the leadership of community of its predecessor's “stewardship”. In arm there are boards you sit on those boards have a sheet that have many symbolic letters, code-names, codes based on those records on the sheet and what it stands for and it also tell whether if you can be promoted or not. “They must be at every age to see if they are skillful guardians of the conviction never under the influence of wizardry, or force, forgotten, and thus in banish the opinion that one must do what is best for the community” Plato the Republic. This when in the Gadaa people are going to be watched growing regularly, not only the working class but by those who meritoriously became the elite of the society, the guardian class in the socially responsible until they become the fitting leaders of their community. By passing such tests that considered like testing gold with fire (moral test), if these chosen leaders have a choice to make, do they choose to do things for their own best interests or for the best interests of the community? Same things with military or the guardian class leadership selections, if one can do to profit or to protect himself or do good and what is best for the unit? On the merit candidates they are lovers of citizens and it's wellbeing without undermining the citizen, therefore, sound Oromo can determine how one fits its societal structure (nature nurture), and some born with interests to be, or having care for skills, talents, ambitious…, self-sacrificing leaders and those need to be led by those leaders due to inability to lead themselves and it is natural, so the Gadaa system of Oromo people is to follow the conviction that thought by its society, and those convictions are always in the best interests of the society and the community. Now in attempting to conceptualize the described community and individuals' characteristics including shared behaviors that makes one to be contingents upon another, they where do this society comes from? It did not pop up from random place, it comes from the same place since the analogy is taken from Greek which it was Athens where they born from; thus, the Oromo people is also born of Oromiyyaa, born the earth of Oromiyyaa, the soil of Oromiyya, then Oromiyyaa then becomes your mother, not just a city, land or territory, but it is also homeland, Oromo is born of her womb. What these encourages is deep love for one another and your land like you love your mother; therefore, Oromo came from the land that it deeply considered a mother, that makes that society brothers and sisters as well. This is not just a langu

Those educated properly and gained what education supposed to provide have a courage leading to the first step to self-preservation. In 1469 the Roman statesman once said that “for it is so far from how one lives to how one should live, that he who let's go of what is done for what should be done learns his/her ruin rather than his/her preservation. For a one who wants to make a profession of good in all regards must come to ruin among so many who are not good” NM. Meaning “for suppose how we live, so far removed from how we aught/must to live(ought-to, like: should, must, have-to, is responsible for, is necessary, is in need of, is logical, requires, is reasonable, is fitting and is expedient) he abandons what is done for what out to be done we rather learn our ruin than preservation; therefore, it is necessary for one who wishes to maintain self-preservation (his people) must learn and know how not to be good use or not use it according to the necessity of the case. Having say that in a living community there are many types of mechanism for how human conditioning, and how one live among those conditioning forces such as family, corporation or organizations, tribes, states, colonization, political governance and whoever power holds. This is not a simple question of good or bad which what Oromo weighs on, not that yet. It is also doesn't mean the current state must stop to exist completely; however, the optimal social system that is inhumane is at maximum point and the disparities are becoming identifiable that the aim is ultimately to forcefully make the Oromo people accept it is less than the importunateness of Ethiopianism to up ease the unkind dead institute and those who are the beneficiaries of the Oromiyyaa resources. Thus, all these things not to continue and Oromo to must transit to a better nation state that lives civic stat of nature of any particular human in general without a dan bar number because of the existing meritorious mechanism called Oromo Gadaa system that functions as a binding energy still functions in most Oromiyyaa regions except those subverted culturally and forced to accept the culture and faith of the outsider evaders which created a massive cleaving energy amongst the Oromo people, and as a result the Oromo people strayed a defeated people for more than century and half. What this means is that what historically happened to Oromo people or what took place against the Oromo people are numerous starting from its first ruin, (from the amongst of the colonizers migrating and living among Oromo people not only took lands of settlements and made the Oromo people their tenants under feudalism of the colonizer of the war lords of the north who made itself indispensable through the implementation of divine pseudo national name, politics, and culture also allowing the Oromo people remain servitude yet practice its language and culture only in local level the same way that the Rome did it first, and the rest of European colonizer, including the Japan where all this resulted global oligarchic system of servitude to pseudo monarchs whose the creation of suffering still exit. It is the arrogance of one homogeny interests for the ownership and feared warlords taking up a Machiavellianism political idea of making nation of their own out of those who are living in principalities like such as a Gadaa system people with aristocratic governance and nobility system. The chapter I am about to take a note on supposed the whole chapter read out loud. The reason being by reading out loud one can use sociological imagination to have a sense of fact on the occurred phenomenon. When those states that are acquired, as has been said, are accustomed to living by their own law and in liberty, there are three modes for those who wants to hold them: first you ruin them; second, go there to live personally; third, let them live by their laws, taking tribute form them and creating within them an oligarchical sta

“The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable”.  Sun Tzu Make Yourself indispensable, and seek peace through strength. 

From not following the Prudent leaders ideal or proposition was a greater sign into ruin that in time of courage and high spiritedness needed. And as consequence the entire principalities failure to recognize the advice given as analogy of one community under colonization by other in relation to human body, “illness”, and “treatment”.   “And it happens with this as a physicians say of consumptions, That at the beginning of the illness it is easy to cure, and difficult to recognize, but in the progress of time when it has not been recognized and treated in the beginning, it becomes easy to recognize and difficult to cure, so it happened in state fare, because when one recognizes from afar the evil that rise in state (which is not given but to one who is prudent), they are soon healed; but when they are left to grow because they were not recognized to the point that everyone recognize them, there is no longer any remedy for them”  this is exactly what Oromo people are going through unless it starts preparation for what forth coming.

Do not be obsessed with the current situation and moments, what things look like at the very moment, we should try to project ( here where imagination should kick in) (Ijjii Gaarra kanna duubatii waa hinaagaree tan mutaan iff keesaa guurrani) We should look at ourselves and situations and project it if these continues with such attitude in a long run what would happen 20 years from now, 30 years from now, 50 years from now? "But the lack of Prudent in men begins something in which, because it tests good then, they do not perceive the poison that lies underneath" NMTP; therefore " he who doesn't recognize the evils when they arise in principalities or the republic is truly not wise".  

The clear break from the traditional political system toward removing the norm of the people that had been already established i.e. established justice and governance system, moral, ethics, sovereignty ….that changes the leadership dynamic that divers human history between before Machiavelli (BM) and after Machiavelli (AM) the reason being leaders before Machiavelli never encountered Machiavellianism, yet they have done/committed a horrifying crime and also suffered the consequences, did feel the guilt and shame of what has been done. After Machiavelli, political guide and ideal political leaders could commit crimes and never feel bad about it, no accountability because these are the exact things to do in the world that has fallen to us. And society needs to open its eyes and ears in identifying that if leaders and oppressive societies are liberated bad things in the name of politics and interests to do what they wanted and to take what they wanted to take, end establish themselves over others as have been witnessed over the last 150/200 years around the world things have been done in gaining political power and establish ownership over society's wealth. Such political move on playing monopoly in social control and to having possession of lands the servitude obligation from the colonized society never been done in …. by creating a new political community and the broken spirit of that community makes them indispensable socio-political power, therefore, the broken society cannot move on without those whom political power they under.

Learn from your existing inheritors and the predecessors/past founders (this is a correction to our all fallacies) must be done continuously reading the true history of past from those of the past one, especially from political doers of actions, (changes of games), (to make things happen one must study history and a biography of the people who made things happen, not opportunists that have no vision that create/restore free nations like Oromia.) The vital reason for lessons must be taken from one is contemporary and ancient is that the contemporary understands the current situation (somewhere our ideas and values are far better that those of previous generation for the reasons of mass social and technological changes we are going through, but in so many ways we also should not yes, we are still in developing/poor nation in every aspect those any nations could be measured with). Anyway for Oromo taking the fight after the predecessors not only challenging but abandoning the predecessors intents for resistance, values, and lessons is self-defeats, and...

Since, as humans, we strive to survive by doing what is best, we should know what are the things we have control over or how can we be creative in utilizing this downtime as an opportunity presented itself to us. To make a strong emphasis on the above statement or current situation it seems it is the greatest opportunity we might never have in the future to come and let's use the chance to lead, to improve, and to grow along the way.

“How we live is removed so far from how we ought to live, he abandons what is done rather than what ought to be done rather than being about his ruins and his preservation. a man who wishes to make a goodness in everything must come to grief among so many who are not good” Niccolò Machiavelli' stand imposes and promotes to hold up such a view very much, to sum up in a few lines in opposition to those subsumed in controlling masses, not from their own.  The clear break from the traditional political system toward removing the norm of the people that had been already established i.e. established justice and governance system, moral, ethics, sovereignty ….that changes the leadership dynamic...

The Oromo people culture and principle based on nobility and virtue guided by leadership of a common system of Aristocratic merit selection.   As T. S. Elliot put it “The communication of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.”  The prudential leaders have left as clear trails and softened paths to investigate and follow.

With conviction, Oromo must realize and believe that Ethiopia is in every aspect inferior to Oromiyya, and if it is also micro measured still including Tigray, Amhara, and surround micro ethics existence is contingent upon the existence of Oromiyya being a part of small surviving microstates. The reality of the nature of conquest moves on a community to colonize is a decision made based on a sound madness belief and it is what makes serious preparation, determination, and a certain amount of definite belief the cause either to gain some individual benefit or collective benefit from booties and territories.  This does not come to fruition unless one violently convinced others to submission and that is how colonizers are, and it is their essential nature intentionally to invade and conquer.  “Freedom can be adequately understood only in conjunction with the moral worth of chosen goals so that the person is free in the most profound political sense only to the extent that by his action he enriches and fulfills his life.  Community is being the highest value; happiness lies in the widest possible sharing of the good life with others.  Freedom, therefore, is properly the ability to act with concern for what promotes the well-being of all affected.  In the strictest sense, a people can be said to be exercising freedom in governing itself on when it is genuinely trying to realize the condition of the community”.
