Why did I wrote

it that way?

Don't really know.

(seems you do, lol)

 

I was in a hurry

(when am I not, lol),

and creating new

experiences of old

memories was main

subject in my mind,

4 multiple reasons.

 

Then decided to

add the Xamar side

of the issue kinda

of hastely it seems.

To tie with what

Sheikha Jacalka

were saying in

the other thread.

No more, no less.

yep...

what about collective memories?

do we share the same heartaches, successes and pitfalls?

 

barack obama's win kind of illustrated that, but that has something to do with locality.

 

im no where near the somalis... i cant say i share yr collective memories.

perhaps with those who grew up in the west, with a photo album, a globe, and the gazette clippings on what somalia is.

class presentations on the horn of africa, and useless tidbit information about population, currency, and favourite cultural dishes.

 

... personal identity fluctuates, and imo, is basically made up of experience... more specifically those experiences we have stored into our mental volts... lack of experience leads to a shell of a life.

wandering the corridors like a hungry ghost, aimless but thirsty for what everyone has and you have shunned.

 

collective identity is difficult to pinpoint.

it demands that one should make their allegiance witha collective group first, and somalis are the new gypsies.
