Omoluwabi

I'm reading about omoluwabi. Last year I went to a seminar on Nigerian, more precisely Yorubian, philosophy. It's called Omoluwabi and roughly outlined consists of a set of questions to ask yourself. The philosophy has some likness to de Bono's thinking hats. Omoluwabi puts emphasis on the individual and methods to strengthen the character, caring not to neglect either aspect of the character in order to create an evolved character.

An interesting part of Omoluwabi is the equation Character + Choices = Destiny. The equation is wikked, it creeps me out for sure. I don't believe in destiny but I'm pretty sure that "destiny" is not a proper interpretation of the original word, and propose "direction" instead of destiny. And I also have doubts about using such a abstract word as character to make metaphors.

Time for lunch. Have a song while I'm gone. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Little Shadow in a wonderful acoustic version. I've been listening to it on repeat fo' three hours straight.
