We all are too important to fail!

"Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon which your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite" Kahlil Gibran- "The Prophet"
Gibran might have used this statement to say something else, but I just got it suitable to start my letter.
Friends, Now I see that most of us are in different tracks of life, I ask my self what if we all were in the Ethiopian Airlines, or Graphic designers, or preachers, or singers, or medical doctors? What if we all were the prime minister? What if I were you or you were me? It would have been as if all of our body parts wishing to be our brain. No skull to cover it, No heart to feed it, No nerves to deliver its order. Our brain would have ceased to exist.
So dear all friends, I urge all of us to forget all the cynicism, to elude the voice of the trumpet which feeds our ears that things can not be changed,that there is no tangible solution for the existing problems. Yes I know that we have different political and religious ideology. Yes I know that we have different background, that we came from different types of social structure. But I am sure that we all want to grow, to prosper. There are a lot of past mistakes which caused the current problems. But we can not continue to blame our fathers and do nothing. Neither should we wait a liberator and amass around him. One of Obama's themes during his primary campaign was "We are the one we have been waiting for". Let us forget the mistakes of the past. If those who suffered from the Apartheid were able to forgive, why not we- we people of the same color, the people who equally suffered from the atrocious past- Why not We? Let us stop having a scornful attitude towards each other. Let us not ask others' motive. Let us not take it personal when we debate. If we are apathetic to the current politics, let us not stay indifferent when our own flesh and blood suffer from poverty, malnutrition, illiteracy, or diseases. I ask us to to contribute a fraction of our knowledge, forget the billions of birr we can contribute.If the engineer can design simple but more productive tool for the farmer, if the doctor can treat patients from his hometown during his vacation time, if the economist is willing to propose some sound fiscal policies, if the preacher preaches love, hope and faith without alienating ourselves then our prosperity will be eminent.
Finally I say that stakes are very high for us to sit idle. Those who suffer back home are our own people. What we have acquired in the western world can help millions of people in our dearest country. Don't forsake our own people. Whether we like it or not we are here because of them. Let our generation be a generation which acknowledges that we all are Ethiopians, and above all children of God.
