suspicious minds

the Gambia online community seems have quick suspicious minds about one another. people have ulterior motives in many conversations; yet some will hide this motives and try to rationalise the facts in a deceptive way. we all want something from our thoughts and labours. we are deceiving ourselves if we want to portray ourselves as sacrificing for others only.
unless folks are real and open about their agendas, we will always suspect each other unnecessarily. it is no crime for us to have pride and love our respective ethnicity. that is natural and human. it becomes a problem when we hide this instinct and try to deceive others. the Gambia is not a harmonious society, there has always been tensions. but this tensions makes us stronger.
we need to avoid hidden agendas for the common good of the our country, if not all struggles will go to waste. i am comfortable and happy of being a Mandingo, but that doesn't make me hate any other Gambian ethnic group. i only get irritated if some folks wish to portray theself's otherwise. lets get real and work together.
