Human being

Let’s take the human being. What is a human being? We Africans, we say the human being is the being who is both everything and nothing. He is everything because he carries a piece of The Creator power in him. And he is nothing because death keep him from getting up, death keep him from from doing anything. So the human being is everything and nothing at the same time.

-The Great Nana Amadou Hampâté

  Most of Nana’s works are written in French. I wish his work will be translated into other African languages, or English (for those of us who don’t speak French). He was a Griot. He is very very very highly respected in Mali. He is very very very deep in foundational African/KMT philosophical thoughts. Nana is someone we will call Ɔbenfo or S3bayet.
