*ZOMI AND OUR FUTURE*
_--In Zomi and English_
As God answers our prayers and grants us blessings for our land, opens doors for us, and enables us to make significant progress. We have moved from a stage of development where we were previously behind, and we have now reached a point where we are beginning to walk on the path towards further progress. As we continue along this path of development, I would like to share five steps that I believe we need to take as we move forward.
1. *STEP ONE: LEARNING TO BE GOOD FOLLOWERS*
_“What we need among ourselves is heroes, courageous people.”_
The need for courageous people is essentially the need for good leaders. Along with the need for leaders, however, we also need the ability to be good followers. Therefore, whether in religious matters or worldly affairs, those whom we choose as leaders must be people who are capable of carrying out their responsibilities and following through on their decisions. We have too many people who want to become leaders.
As soon as someone acquires the title of a leader, people from the opposing side try to tear them down. We are very skilled at opposing and undermining leaders. Those who are more educated, more visionary, more thoughtful, and more capable than us should be learned to be followed. Developing good leaders and developing good followers are both essential for progress.
When a church elder has a doctor in his congregation, for example, it can be very difficult for him to accept and make use of the doctor's expertise. He may not be able to manage church finances. He may not be skilled at planning or designing a church building. No individual can know or do everything. This is why the Apostle Paul compared the church to a body with many different parts.
The University where the pastor studied conferred the Doctorate upon him for his theological education, not for financial management. The elder, who was skilled at managing money and planning church buildings, was God given body parts complementing the pastor. Progress comes when we understand our respective places. We must stop tearing each other apart like big and small stones, and instead walk the path of supporting one another, giving encouragement, and valuing each other. This is our future task.
2. *SECOND STEP: NOT EXCLUSIVEISM, BUT INCLUSIVEISM (COLLECTIVENESS)*
Rather than fragmenting in the future, the Zomi people should think more about unity. If we act wisely and unite in political journeys, we will not lag behind others. We will rise from being the tail of others to becoming the head. We look forward to our religious and political leaders guiding us with this truth.
We have many clans, but nowadays we are tracing back to our roots and uniting more and more. I hope that, in the future, our different organisations and groups will move away from division and return to a path of unity, rather than remaining separated simply because we do not share exactly the same beliefs or views.
3. *THIRD STEP: THE LEOPARD LOOKS BACK AT ITS TRACKS *
There is an old saying: *"When a leopard lies down, it looks back at its tracks."* It prepares itself to follow its tracks back to hunt its enemies. The lesson we should learn from the leopard is that as we march forward, we must continually look back and evaluate our past journeys. We must correct what needs fixing, learn from our past failures, and move forward. Acknowledging our mistakes by saying *"I have sinned" or "I am at fault"* is the path to victory. It is the beginning of maturity and progress.
4. "FOURTH STEP: THE DEER CONSIDERS THE RAVINE FOR ITS ESCAPE *
The lesson to learn from the deer is to be deeply thoughtful, farsighted, and broad-minded, meaning we must think for long-term. In our political journey, we need to constantly evaluate where we started, where we stand today, to what extent we have succeeded, and where we have fallen short.
In India, there are people who oppose almost everything that is associated with the government or the ruling establishment. In a democracy, people have the right to oppose things they disagree with. However, simply opposing everything does not necessarily bring any benefit to ourselves. _We do not have to oppose everything that is possible to oppose. We should take a stand where it is necessary and where doing so genuinely serves our interests._
5. *FIFTH STEP: AVOIDING "NUPI GALZAWH" (OVERCONFIDENCE/ARROGANCE OF VICTORY)*
In the old days, our ancestors used the expression "nupi galzawh" _(refers to someone who becomes so boastful after winning a battle that he becomes arrogant and no longer remains humble or cautious.)_ Whether in worldly affairs or religious matters, there will be times when we have greater victories, times when we appear to be losing, times when we succeed, and times when we fail. Even when we are winning, we should not become arrogant; and when we are losing, we should not assume that everything is finished. This is an important principle.
Whenever leadership responsibilities are given to someone, they are given with trust, and they must be fulfilled faithfully. We must carry out our duties while remaining aware that we are not meant to hold them forever. The years 2010–2011 are recorded as a period of massive global political shifts
It was the year 11 world leaders changed. While in power, they thought they would never fall and would never diminish. When they did fall, they became truly pitiful and pathetic. There is a time to win, and a time to lose. There is a time to rise, and a time to fall. Let us not fall into "nupi galzawh."
Zomi people, we still have a long way to go in shaping our future. Let us continue to shape it together. Let us continue to learn together. Let us broaden our vision and look beyond the present. Even the weakest can become one of the strongest in the world. Therefore, our vision must become bigger, our goals must reach farther, and our thinking must become broader and more forward-looking. This is the path we must take as we move towards the future.
