For if you suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves and then punish them

Yesterday my 16 year old lil bro collapses, breathing stops, gets diagnosed with a heart problem…
Please see his first entry into the siblings chat while admitted into the hospital on the same day:
In 2012, a herd of elephants walked for 12 hours to the house of Lawrence Anthony ( the man who had saved them) following his passing, even though no one alerted them to the event
They stood around the house in an apparent vigil for two days, in quiet contemplation
Exactly a year later, on the anniversary of his passing, the same herd once more made the journey to his house.
Our ancestors had a profound way of dealing with P.T.S.D. It was believed that after a war when a man had returned from war, before he could be accepted back into society. He had to live with a shaman for 3 months to do some spiritual cleansing.
It was said that after war, the human spirit was off balance and required to undergo some ritual in order to restore it back in harmony with nature and the community. A horn was used to draw out stagnant and dsyfunctional blood to the surface.
This is one of the ritual that was performed on the worriors to cleanse them of any mental illness and trauma that they might experience later on in life after the war.
This process was carried out by Africans long ago before it was allegedly deemed a Chinese invention. It was called "African suction cup," by the colonizers. This is one of the many practices that have been lost due to African s.lavery and colonization.
