"A Picture says a thousand words", in this case it speaks for a nation.

U-N-G-R-A-T-E-F-U-L

SHACKLES YOU DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE BOUND BY MAY BE HOLDING YOU BACK. A LOT of folks trod on without consciously thinking of subtle but very important factors that affect their life's journey. One of which is U-N-G-R-A-T-E-F-U-L-N-E-S-S or  the lack of showing appreciation for the people and things that occur in your life on a DAILY basis. No I'm not speaking of our ritualistic "Thank you God for another day" mantra, or "God is Good all the time and all..." yes yes we know them all too well. As much as I am not in a position to dictate to anyone how appreciation should be shown. I believe being in a constant state of reflection on how FORTUNATE or LUCKY(if you wish) we are to be in the presence of opportunities, individuals or actions that makes even an ounce of difference in our daily activities is such a BIG DEAL we would see our actions and mindset gradually change for a more efficient and fulfilling direction.
The mind often times goes on auto-pilot, however for the auto-pilot to be effective first a course or direction must be set, and what affects this direction is our state of mind, and what affects our state of mind is our outlook on the journey, and what affects our outlook on the journey is how we treat or view the different situations we come upon. If we could be more conscious of what occurs around us and what good fruits there are for us to receive, our path or direction would be that much more rewarding. Spend more time in reflection of how grateful you ought to be or spend the rest of your days wondering why the well seems to be dwindling or never has water.

The L word (revisited)

Water is water but it can be hot or cold, used to shower with or help in healing someone; it can be used to out a fire or it can drown someone; dispel a drought or become a tsunami. In the end however, its still water.
Love is love whether u want to channel it to material things, knowledge, yourself or others. Some people use it when committing genocide, as they love dearly their own beliefs when waging war, like in the Bible for man's love to God they wipe out another kingdom or nation, man woman and child. For a man's Love of the world he sells his soul. Some people because they Love they sacrifice their own life for another; God made man out of Love and according to the Bible gave his own son to die the most gruesome of deaths. In the end however, its still love.

So who am I then or who are you to dictate to anyone what love is or how it should be? It builds, it destroys. We came into this world without the word known to us only to be taught or made aware of it, we didn't make it, so in the end regardless of what you believe of it, we can only channel it.

Love!

What some women want...

After listening for years, here is the wisdom thus far: Some women want a wedding, while some want a marriage, some want a man that's already married. Some just want a man(companion) in their life, some just want a man to make a baby with, some want just the baby and not the man she made the baby with, some women want a man that's romantic, some want a man that loves her, some don't want a man at all...until they get old and realize their professional success won't suffice. The others are pretty much satisfied with where they are, wherever that is...

TRUE OR FALSE?

So today myself with the assistance of some friends on Twitter, Facebook and Blackberry Messenger conducted an informal survey: "Is it true or false that EVERY WOMAN has something about her body or a part of her body that she would change?" Of course one can guess the outcome, no then again maybe not everyone can accurately guess the outcome. I only received 7 False and yes A HEFTY amount of "True". Here is what got me though and I wasn't surprised about it; a lot, more specifically, majority of the ones that said "True" said that those who said "False" were lying. That to me shows a bit of envy and jealousy, for the fact that another woman has attained or claimed to attain physical security in herself. Also what it highlights is the selfishness of us humans in projecting our views onto the world. What many people over look is how we have been cultured through the influence of religious teachings especially from the Bible which advocate for the notion of imperfection (although I know the same Bible tells us how we were made in the image of God and fearfully made which is not pushed as much in my opinion) and that of the media (Hollywood and so forth). Why is it that we doubt the thought that man was made perfect in the light in which man was meant to be made, holistically, physically and individually?

Like Seriously?!

So let me get this straight...! Oh greetings! so as I was saying, here is hypocrisy showing its ugly head again in the land of wood and water. Lets talk about whats still being talked about...the video that showed the police killing the man in cold blood. Ok so that's wrong, point taken (Yes you see where I'm going with this already) but what of the woman (Miss Cherry Wilson) he stabbed to death moments before the police sent him on his way? People I am sorry but I have not a stone to throw on this one besides accepting the FACT that how the police went about it was wrong. NO NO don't tell me that's what everybody is saying because the truth is many are speaking of the incident as if he did not repeatedly stab her in the neck and chest, oh yeah how could I fail to mention that up until yesterday some people DID NOT even know he killed someone that day. I don't gamble (except with love) but I would bet my last dollar coin that if we heard the news that some man stabbed his common law wife to death and fled the scene we would all be mumbling and some shouting that "PEOPLE LIKE DEM DEH FI DEAD" well here it is folks, he's dead, and where are we? Yes that's right, sending the hero to the gallows. Wait wait, I AM IN NO WAY advocating  for the police and their crooked ways, no I'm just addressing this incident as is! http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/news/Our-mother-s-death-is-being-treated-like-her-life-had-no-worth_785447
