Who Knows Tomorrow

-

The people you overlook today are the same people you will desperately need tomorrow. The higher you think you are today is equivalent to the distance you will drop down someday. As you go higher in life don't burn the ladder. Make a good shock absorber in case you come down unexpectedly. Who knows tomorrow?
Treat people as humans. Don't attach anything else when serving your fellow human beings.
Whether rich or poor,educated or not we are and we shall always be called human beings heading to the same place someday in life.

Among the some Kalenjin peoples, an age-set called Maina exists. However, among the Tugen, this ageset is extinct. Legend has it that the members of this ibindo were wiped out by the Keiyo, their cousins in war. For fear of a recurrence, the community decided to retire the age-set. Ibindo was given out at initiation and by simple arrangements, there ought to be one ibindo between a father and a son. For example, a korongoro cannot beget a kipkoimet. The Tugen don't consider a woman to have an ageset, hence she can marry any ageset except that in which her father belongs. The Tugen say "ma tinyei ibin korko" which means a woman has no ageset.
