Excellence is expected in Kemetic culture. A person walking the Kem path is expected to build upon the legacy left by their Ancestors, leaving a higher standard for  future generations to continue building. One of the biggest cons peddled by the current social paradigm is that the past, especially tradition of our Ancestors, is useless and does not contribute meaningfully to the future because it is not as “sophisticated” as the futuristic technological model that the modern human dreams of. It is quick to brush off indigenous knowledge and wisdom because it is not humble enough to admit that its approach to a perfect society is misguided and based on loose foundations that have continuously failed the test of time.

The great Kem Ancestors were meticulous in all their actions and creations as they understood that without a proper foundation, the Culture would readily crumble at the test of time. They were humble and based their approach on Divine standards, because this was the perfect model for establishing the critical tenets of  Kem culture, among them one of the most fundamental:  language. Speech is powerful and a crucial aspect of spiritual evolution and the manifestation of functional realities.
