The culture of distractions; avoiding your realities via gossip, drugs, sports, entertainment, ceremonies and alcohol

Welcome to the tenth short publication of the Kikulacho Cultures Series™ that discusses popular cultures that may be having a negative impact on your financial and personal well-being. The word “Kikulacho” comes from the Kiswahili (Swahili) language, and literally translated into English means “what is eating you”. However, in practice it is used in the Kiswahili language to mean “what is ailing you”. A popular Kiswahili saying “Kikulacho Ki nguoni mwako” is the inspiration behind the name of this short publications series. The practical English translation of this saying is “what ails you is within you”!

A growing number of people around the world are willingly seeking various distractions to avoid the realities of their lives.  The evidence is in the amount of time they spend on the various distractions, which is an indication of an addiction.  The most common distractions include; religion, rituals, ceremonies, sex, gossip, drugs, sports, entertainment and alcohol.

  1. Great article. I see this in my kids with tv and video games. It’s hard for to stop them from this distraction if I don’t have any other options for them.
