When the Pokot are fighting and a mother removes her pregnancy belt and puts it between the men, the fighting must be stopped. She does not have to be the biological mother for in this community, a mother is a mother of the community. It is the same among the 18 Kalenjin groups. The Maasai word for Osotua , is also the word for beauty. They believe that where there is no beauty there is no peace.
Beauty follows peace.
Where there i s peace, there is beauty. Ol Donyio Mount Kenya is a mountain of peace because it is a mountain of Keri - beauty. This contrast reflects the contrast in human society. The Maasai accept and follow the philosophy of Osotua , which is not only harmony, but also harmony brought by living with contrast or differences. This appears again in the discipline of making ornaments.
