Life is beautiful. It could also be ugly. Life is exciting. It could also be boring. Life is meaningful. It could also be meaningless. And if nothing else does, this all goes to show that while life is simple, it could also be complicated. In the context of these possible modes of life, I am interested in raising the question “What kind of life?” However, as interesting as these possibilities are, they are not necessarily my focus in what follows.
I am interested in the question “what kind of life?” for what it means for personal as well as communal existence. Therefore to the extent that the aforementioned possibilities are relevant to my purpose, it must be because they provide some clue to the question of the kind of life that is well suited to personal and communal existence. A good starting point, of course, is a deconstruction of the question in terms of its significance. Why is it a good question to raise and address?
What kind of life we live as an individual makes us the kind of person we are. It is an identity marker. And while we don’t usually give a serious thought to the question except in the context of our religious observances, and that, only superficially, we practically provide various answers with our daily activities, intentional or otherwise. Those activities –reasonable or unreasonable, egoistic or altruistic, mean-spirited or compassionate, greedy or moderate, hustling or dignified, shameless or respectable—define the character of a person. But there is more. They also define our community: the preponderance of a character-type makes a community of people what it is.
I should point out that my primary interest here is not politics, though I concede that there is a sense in which everything revolves around the institution of politics as the architecture of communal life. But politics derives its texture from the fabric of communal life which in turn is woven with the thread of individual lives. At best, it is a chicken and egg relationship. The political community in which we live plays a great role in the kind of individuals we are. And since individuals make up the political community, the character of the former defines the nature of the latter. And because communities are cognizant of this connection, they pay a great deal of attention to the upbringing and character development of their members. It is the stuff of civic education, whether in its conservative platonic or liberal Lockean modes.
In our clime, we are the children of our forebears and we have them to thank for who we are and what we have become. But you may ask: who are we and what have we become? It is hard to engage in a holistic national self-glorification under the circumstance of our depressed socio-political life. But again, this is not my focus today. However, it is my hope that every mother’s son and every father’s daughter has something cheerful about a parentage that God used to bring them to life and make the necessary sacrifice for their upbringing and character development. I know I do; and I am eternally grateful.
Despite Hobbes, we know that individuals are not atoms in the void; they access this terrestrial ball through preexisting family units. And while parents are only instruments of God’s plan, they are an important causative agent of a meaningful life.
Let us assume that a life is meaningful when it is successful. We must then go further and define what a successful life is; and this is subject to different interpretations derived from our various worldviews and outlooks. And since our worldviews and outlooks are culture-dependent, the idea of a meaningful life is also culture-dependent, where culture is broadly defined.
The traditional Yoruba worldview defines a meaningful life, that is, a successful life, as the life of an Omoluabi, literally, an offspring of the chief of character, the logic of which is that, all things being equal, the offspring will take after the parent. Character, then, is the defining mark of a meaningful life. Not beauty; not wealth; not power; not education; not honor; just simply character.
This approach to life is fascinating to me, not just for what it rules in, but also for what it rules out. Typically, the Yoruba have no respect for power or honour that is not accompanied by good character. But more importantly, religiosity or spirituality without character is also an anathema. Indeed, to underscore this point and the secular import of the Yoruba worldview, the most telling aspect of the story of Iwa is the moral deficiency of Orunmila, the god of wisdom. Orunmila had married Iwa who decided to leave because she was being maltreated by her husband. But Iwa’s departure had an adverse effect on Orunmila’s fortune and he decided to search for her. The lesson here is that, for the Yoruba, Iwa (character) is so important that even the gods have to be judged by how much they measure up to her standard. In their perspective, all there is to religion is character: iwa lesin.
The community relies on every family with the responsibility for the character education and development of their offspring and traditional families take this responsibility seriously. For, how children behave and relate to others outside of the family circle is understood to be a good evidence of the success or otherwise of their upbringing. Families laboriously and diligently commit to raising their members as responsible members of the larger community. And this is all that can be expected of any family. In the best of circumstances, where the traditional setting provides sufficient buffer, the in-built standard of iwa is a challenge for anyone to meet. In contemporary setting, however, a variety of other negative influences compete for the heart of soul of an average human being. This is where society comes in.
Just as there are no atomised individuals, so there are no solitary families. When families combine their forces for security and welfare purposes, the society they so form assumes the collective responsibility of educating and socialising its members into its values and ideals, which cannot be at variance with those of its family units. And to do this effectively, society makes rules and regulations which it backs up with the threat of punishment in case of violation. When society fails its members in the discharge of this responsibility, and the family unit has been rendered impotent, there is character deficiency, leading to moral anarchy and brutish modes of life.
If there are still rational individuals and family units, they would be bothered by the reversal of their moral fortune. They would raise questions about the kind of life they have been transformed into from their various family units. They would know that it is dangerous for their well-being to continue that kind of existence, and they would question the kind of social and political formations that led them there in the first place. In short, they would want to revisit the terms of their social contract. It’s Locke in reverse! As the Psalmist prays, may those who are wise think about these things.BY SEGUN GBADEBISIN
