One Deeper Look

So after days of writing out frustrations met when attempting to unite our people to win one solid victory, it has come to my attention that we need to have a deeper look into ourselves.  

Not only to those who I have been targeting, but all of us.  Every last one of us need to really look inside and fix something.  

Did you ever wonder why we have generational curses?  
That is not just a coincidence. We ALL want to think that we had the most pono ancestors, but the truth is that there is good and bad in every demographic of people and even within one person, there is good and bad.  If you think for one second that your lineage made it through thousands of generations of existence and not one of them ever made a mistake or were pilau, you are lying to yourself.

Did I bring this up to shame you? 
Not at all.  I brought this up because no matter how you pray, we all need to pray for our ancestors, the same way we'd like to think they are rooting for us. We each need to ask our ancestors to squash whatever hakaka they had with others.  

Its pathetic when we have bloodlines who refuse to admit their origins and relations to the rest of their bloodlines, because of hewa 29 generations ago.  That is absolutely ridiculous, but yes, we have families like that.  They don't even admit the hewa, they just deny who they are altogether, as thought they only popped into existence 28 generations ago and were here the whole time.  You see, this kind of behavior keeps the curses coming!

What about the part where family land is being split into 1/28 to all the mo'opuna but because they don't like eachother, taxes don't get paid, land is disgraced and families torn.  How stupid is that?  If I had access to my family lands, and I didn't want my addict cousin on it, I'd make legal stipulations for the sake of the future generations - you know, like how our ancestors thought of us?  Yeah.. like that.  Then I'd keep that section clean or possibly grow food on it.  Even if you hate and forbid that person from ripping the rest of your family apart, you can share with them the food you grow on their portion of the land.  I hope that doesn't hurt your pride too much, because Lord knows, Hawaiians get pride bigger than our bank accounts.  Pride is evil, by the way. Let's take a deeper look into ourselves and remove that root.  We can. We are working on ourselves together.
