A PERNICIOUS OMEN

By Dr. Abasher Elhaj
The existing political and social array has a pathological structure and should be tested and diagnosed. This is the role of the intellectual whose priority is not the will of mutation with inutile agents or hackneyed concepts, but by changing these devices and devising novel ones to cope up with diverse cultures, time and reality.
The perception and speculation of the intellectual should not call for unprecedented conceptual thesaurus and assorted different patterns; to put it another way, the major stint of the intellectual is to perceive, analyze, and exegete the phenomenon that deviates from the common sense. So, the will is of a little help to rubricate or violate him; otherwise, the society is badly affected. The violation of exegesis proceeds in time, and in terms of strategy it proceeds the will of mutation; ergo, reality cannot be modified without probing its deconstruction. Here, lies the task of the intellectual to dissect and analyze molding the role of a physician and orthopedic surgeon, who restorate bones and amends deformities. This therapeutic technique discloses its magnitude and purpose since it reflects the meaning of actual human being existence; moreover, it is the body in its phenomenological sensual reality and the figurative meaning which is “morals” and “conducts” of the body when it deals with itself in terms of “insight” or with others in terms of “connectivity”.
The therapeutic modus operandi in the intellectual functions in individuals and social soma morally and mentally where the intellectual has cognitive and critical values more than contention and ideological values, for his function is not to justify the reality he belongs to, but to speculate reality with all its props and cons.
A bit obtuse intellectual always cannot apprehend how to make individuals follow the right direction to dissolve social strata. Consequently, people tend to be self-fanatic when their minor society or tribe adopts a defending role. In search of self- protection, they lose their self-esteem.
Such a private culture and social norms still shrink under the anecdote of (black and yellow) skin. This dichotomy will never enrich its culture, and thus allows no way for creation. It is a crying-shame to smell a sense of racism among societies used to be race-free before thirty years ago. Much of blame is upon the intellectual’s shoulders who is supposed to be a mirror detecting the drawbacks of his clan. As a result, one can have a look at the status of Sudanese; the village is a poor setting and the city is to somewhat an organized shanty town which kills creation.
Creation always emerges on the border of two adjacent cultures as a result of their mutual stimulating effects on each other. God has awarded Sudanese with a cushy environment which is not difficult to wander from one place to another and does not need much effort for an individual to acquaint and adapt; however, party leaders in the tri-democracy intervals did not intermingle their candidates across Sudan. They preferred to cut the average among their disciples in their hometowns avoiding to adjust their actual weight in another area. One can infer that they were not or still lack confidence and not aware of socio-psychological knowledge of the different regions of Sudan. Thus, we have not to dream of a mature social and political system unless politicians and the intellectuals grasp the fact that they are a fat lot of good that will do; if admitting guilt is a virtue, they can be seen as a bundle of energy who are very enthusiastic and dedicated to the cause of equal rights and employed all their spiritual and physical strength to fight for the cause of democracy and social welfare.
This way assists to frit the falsehood of “Sudanese Mental” and builds instead a concrete “Sudanese Mentality” which is capable of standing fast against the storm of other nations conflicts since the powerful nations are more unpretentious than the feeble ones for they are free from any inferiority complex. The latter are more pompous, this is in fear of losing their ego. For that they are always infected by the disease of self-gratification. To heal this disease, the intellectual has to fight tooth and nail for his voice to be heard by the different classes of society to enforce each other.
