I can vividly imagine the overwhelming joy and profound relief that must have washed over my family when my father was finally released and Eritrea gained its independence. This remarkable event undoubtedly left an indelible mark on me and my loved ones, shaping our lives in extraordinary ways.
The momentous occasion of Eritrea's independence in 1991 holds immense historical significance, and it is a privilege to hear about it directly from someone who experienced it firsthand.

Reflecting on the early days of my writing journey, I find it impossible to pinpoint the exact moment when my love affair with words began. It could have been those childhood moments spent hunched over notebooks, penning stories that sprang from the depths of my imagination. Or perhaps it was the sheer thrill of crafting intricate worlds and breathing life into captivating characters within the confines of my mind. Regardless, the official commencement of my writing career can be traced back to my very first "real" job as a freelance creative writer.
While most teenagers found themselves babysitting or mowing lawns, fate led me down a different path—a path that led me to stumble upon an extraordinary opportunity to write for a local online magazine that specialized in short stories. The surge of excitement mingled with nervous anticipation coursed through my veins as I submitted my maiden piece, a whimsical tale that transported readers to a realm of talking dogs and time-traveling escapades.
This pivotal milestone opened the floodgates to a world brimming with infinite creative prospects. For years on end, my nimble fingertips danced across the keys, weaving tales of love, loss, and every emotion in between. I had the honor of interviewing esteemed authors, participating in invigorating writing workshops, and witnessing my very own work grace the pages of renowned print anthologies.
Though the exact duration of my initial freelance endeavor eludes my memory, its impact on my life remains immeasurable. It instilled within me an unwavering ardor for the art, a determination to refine my skills, and the unshakeable confidence to pursue my passion for writing.
In retrospect, my first foray into the realm of creative writing transcended the realm of mere income generation. It was a defining moment—a spark that ignited an enduring journey of storytelling and unabashed self-expression. And for that, I am eternally grateful.
My favorite book is "Dr. Wisdom for President: Beyond Wisdom - Leading with Wisdom Beyond Politics," and I firmly believe it to be the best book ever written in the history of books.
This book transcends mere political discourse, advocating for a paradigm shift towards wisdom-guided leadership. It challenges conventional norms and urges a return to principles rooted in empathy and ethical foresight, serving as a powerful call to action for leaders and citizens alike.
Beyond policy discussions, "Dr. Wisdom for President" is a blueprint for a unified world, where wisdom informs politics and leaders prioritize the well-being of all people. It envisions a world united under a single banner, where resources are managed holistically, conflicts are resolved through diplomacy, and knowledge is shared globally.
This visionary approach addresses the imperative for global unity, acknowledging the interconnectedness of the 21st century and the urgency of collective problem-solving. It outlines a practical roadmap to overcome the obstacles of national identities and cultural differences, emphasizing sustained dialogue, diplomacy, and compromise.
"Dr. Wisdom for President" is not just a book; it is a clarion call for humanity. It offers a hopeful and actionable vision for a peaceful, prosperous future, and I believe its impact on the world will be unparalleled. While I acknowledge the reverence held for the Bible, Koran, and Buddha's teachings, I confidently proclaim that "Dr. Wisdom for President" stands alongside them as the best all-time book, destined to shape the future of humankind.
The Power of Collective Action: Why I, Dr. Wisdom Zerit Teklay, Embody the Spirit of Captain America
As the leader of the Wisdom People Party, I am driven by a deep conviction that collective action holds the key to overcoming the formidable challenges we face today. Our party's core principles revolve around the power of unity, community empowerment, and an unwavering dedication to creating positive change. These values resonate strongly with the iconic character of Captain America, making me the ideal embodiment of his spirit.
Leadership and Courage: At the core of Captain America's character lies his unwavering leadership and courage.

My leadership style is characterized by collaboration and a strong belief in the collective wisdom of the people. I rally party members and communities alike towards a shared vision, motivating them to actively shape a better future.
Uncompromising Moral Compass: Captain America is renowned for his unwavering moral compass. Similarly, I stand firmly against injustice and oppression, even in the face of overwhelming odds. My vision encompasses a society built on transparency, accountability, and social justice. I fight tirelessly for policies that uphold equal rights for all, dismantling systemic inequalities that hinder both individual and collective progress.
Community Engagement and Empowerment: Captain America recognizes the importance of engaging with and empowering communities. He understands that true progress can only be achieved through collective action and by listening to the needs and aspirations of the people he serves. In the same vein, I emphasize active citizen participation and the ownership of solutions within communities.
Imagine by John Lennon is a timeless song that asks us to consider a world without boundaries, divisions, or conflict. It paints a vivid picture of a world where people live in peace and harmony, sharing their resources and working together for the common good.
Here are some of the key ideas and themes of the song:
Imagine no possessions: This line encourages us to think beyond material wealth and consider a world where everyone has their basic needs met without the need for greed or competition.
Imagine all the people sharing all the world: This line promotes the idea of global unity and cooperation, where people from all walks of life work together for the benefit of all.
Imagine no hunger: This line highlights the issue of global poverty and hunger, and suggests a world where everyone has access to sufficient food and resources.
Imagine all the people living life in peace: This is the ultimate goal of the song, a world where peace reigns and conflicts are resolved through dialogue and understanding.
My Struggle for a Unified World
As Dr. Wisdom Zerit Teklay, I strive to reimagine leadership and advocate for a paradigm shift towards wisdom-guided governance. However, my greatest struggle lies in the pursuit of global unity.
While I envision a world united under a single banner, with a common constitution and shared purpose, the obstacles are formidable. National identities, historical grievances, and cultural differences create deep divisions among nations, hindering our ability to come together as one.
However, I remain undeterred. I believe that the imperative for global unity has never been greater. In the face of complex challenges like climate change and pandemics, we can no longer afford to remain fragmented.
Therefore, I propose a practical roadmap to overcome these obstacles. Through sustained dialogue, diplomacy, and compromise, we can build trust and understanding between different groups. By forming regional alliances and transnational institutions, we can lay the groundwork for a unified global governance.
But most importantly, we need a shift towards global consciousness. Through education, we can nurture a sense of global citizenship and foster a deep understanding of our shared humanity.
I firmly believe that the potential benefits of a unified world – peace, prosperity, and sustainable development – are worth fighting for. This is not a utopian dream, but a tangible reality within our grasp. I call upon individuals and leaders to join me in this endeavor, for together, we can unlock humanity's limitless potential and forge a path towards a brighter future.
This is my struggle, my hope, and my unwavering commitment – to see a unified world where wisdom prevails and the well-being of all reigns supreme.

Justice Scalia: A Legacy of Originalism and Clarity
Justice Antonin Scalia's dedication to originalism, his intellectual rigor, and his courage to dissent continue to inspire me. His meticulous legal opinions, characterized by clarity and consistency, demonstrate his profound understanding of law. Notably, his unwavering commitment to textualism ensured an objective approach to legal interpretation, reflecting his deep respect for the Constitution. While not always agreeing with his rulings, I admire his dedication to the law and his courage to stand by his convictions.
I believe that empathy is an important quality for a judge because:
It allows judges to understand the perspectives of the parties involved in a case. This understanding is essential for making fair and impartial decisions.
It allows judges to see the human impact of their decisions.When judges can empathize with the parties involved, they are more likely to make decisions that are just and compassionate.
It allows judges to connect with the people they serve. This connection is essential for building trust and confidence in the judicial system.
I also provide several examples to support your claim, including:
The statement of President Obama, who said that empathy is an essential ingredient for arriving at just decisions and outcomes.
The fact that many legal scholars believe that empathy is a key component of judicial impartiality.
The research that suggests that judges who are more empathetic are more likely to make fair and impartial decisions.
Overall, I provide a strong argument in support of the view that empathy is an important quality for a judge.

Allow me to address the primary concern regarding the current state of the legal system in Tennessee: the politicization. It is evident that recent events, such as the expulsion of 2 Democratic representatives for their gun violence protest, have raised legitimate concerns about the fairness and impartiality of our legal system.
The Tennessee Supreme Court serves as a check on the other branches of government in two main ways:
1. Judicial Review:
The court has the power to declare laws passed by the state legislature unconstitutional, preventing them from being enforced. This ensures laws comply with the state and federal constitutions.
This power limits the legislature's power and prevents it from enacting laws that violate individual rights or exceed its authority.
2. Interpretation of Laws:
The court interprets the meaning of state laws and statutes, providing clarity and guidance to lower courts and the public.
This interpretation can limit the executive branch's power by ensuring it implements laws according to the legislature's intent and the court's interpretation.
By interpreting laws, the court acts as a neutral arbiter, preventing the other branches from misusing their power.
These two functions ensure that no branch of government has absolute power and that the state operates within the framework of its constitution.
Dr. Wisdom Zerit: An Unconventional Case for Bar Evaluation
Dr. Zerit's unconventional approach to his legal career may pique interest, but it raises questions about the necessary accreditation and recognition for a Bar Association evaluation. The significance of a valid law degree from an accredited institution, paired with a successful bar admission, cannot be overstated when it comes to practicing law. Despite his self-proclaimed titles and philosophical contributions, Dr. Zerit's legal expertise and qualifications remain unclear.
The Bar Association meticulously considers various factors, such as legal training, courtroom experience, ethical conduct, and adherence to established legal principles, when evaluating an individual. Without these established qualifications, Dr. Zerit's potential Bar rating remains uncertain.
