Tribes

2014-10-23 07:20:03.068291+02 by meuon 0 comments

I'm discussing some business things going on in W. Africa and asked why "Ford" (not his real name), whome is intelligent, helpful and wants to get things done is not taken seriously. Answer: "He is in/from the wrong tribe."

Tribes here are serious and well defined social/family things, but it makes me think how much we create our own tribes and do the same thing. Clothing, vernacular, jewelry, hairstyle, theology...

The difference is: we can change our tribes with a little effort, and often belong to several.
