Kofi Asiedu-Bɛɛkye commented on the doc Ntangu Tandu Kolo: The Bantu-Kongo Concept of Time in the group
7 years agoAfrikan Deep Thought I like the breakdown of the concept of time. However, I query if we (Afikans) should still call the length of time a timeline considering what we know now. I think we should maybe call the length of time a time-circle because of the ages repeating themselves. The It would make sense of how we got the clock but as per usual it’s travelling the wrong way. What are your thoughts?

Exactly Kwadwo, else we are looking through the tinted windows we we have identified as a problem to our source of light or energy. The Afrikan concepts are many, interconnected and therefore whole, where as the european concepts are need to know based, scattered and linked by deadly bridges so to speak. So one has to join clubs to be in the know. We must also understand the europeans are spiritually young interms of time. So where as kindness may come natural to us unless we identify a provoking reason. The european concept is in constant survival mode whether gradual or aggressive. That’s what i have learnt so far and it’s reoccuring that the meaning is lost due to adapting names and explanations giving from that same problematic concept.
