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!

More Birth control than Self control, and more mothers than wives...the cycle continues!

Here is one immediate step to take in securing a future for our people: STOP HAVING CHILDREN YOU ARE NOT FIT TO NURTURE! its a serious matter. We have cultured ourselves to have children as accessories, women: "have to have my first child by ....". Men: "how you call uself man an noh have a pickney?" we need to correct the view of what it takes to be a mother and father instead of a sperm donor and child bearer. Now I'm not here to start a sermon on unprotected sex and what not, because quite frankly I know I'm talking to the wrong generation if that's the case. What I am urging us to do is to really THINK if any of us are really prepared to bring a child or children into this wonderful economic/political/spiritual situation going on in our country? Now I agree, if we should wait on the perfect atmosphere to have children in, then we can might as well wait until the next lifetime. But where does the buck stop? I am SO SICK AND TIRED of girls and boys no not men and women, girls and boys bringing forth children INTENTIONALLY when they know they are not equipped in no way to be EFFECTIVE PARENTS. Now why would you do that? You know you cannot even finance this child through secondary level education much less giving he/she a jump start to stand on their own. Boys don't know how to be fathers, much less husbands. Girls opting to be 'babymothers' as opposed to wives (why value yourselves so little?). What is the garbage that's gaining popularity amongst our women where they are ASKING men to impregnate them and leave after; just for the sake of having a child?!?!? It's bad enough we have so many single parent situations for one to go out and seek it. I would institute a law just for that. What are we doing for and to our children, what are we doing to this country? You see folks, these are the little things that fast tracks a nation to hell, or for one that is already there, keep it there. Without healthy homes, you can't have healthy communities, and without healthy communities you won't have a healthy nation. Never underestimate the dots of stupidity, they connect to paint a bigger picture.

LOVE IS BLIND or you just had your eyes closed the whole time...'baby'?

Today we are gathered here not to mourn, but to celebrate the life of the great adage "love is blind". While it has served its purpose in being the best excuse ever for us adults to be 'stuck on stupid' (yes I love that phrase), I think its time we wish it well and usher in a new time, one of responsibility. Responsibility to not say "love is blind", BUT PAY ATTENTION TO ALL THOSE WARNING SIGNS you got before you decided to enter that dead end relationship. Responsibility to control that ever burning passion that clouds your 'vision', so you don't see the glass as half full when its really half empty. Why must my darling women (please recognize the sarcasm) insist on living off sweet nothings, yet they will look you dead in the eye as a friend and reassure you how much they are in control of the situation? Why must we pay so little attention to the obvious (actions)? My philosophy: if you have many questions, then there is still much to find out. "Some men are such dogs." Well news flash! these dogs gained their status from being associated with a lot of silly/blind/eyes closed women. I'm POSITIVE in his career he was flat out rejected by women who had their heads screwed on and passion in check. Hey I could be wrong! but I'm just saying. Remember how we were taught to cross the street when we were younger, wait until all the cars stop look up, down, UP AGAIN (I was trying the traffic light effect with the colours, nice right?), observe road signs and so forth? Same rules apply, so lets give love a break and proceed with caution and common sense for once. On that note, may it's soul rest in peace.
