Ask yourself....©

Ask yourself: if you weren't TOLD about God would you come to believe or know God exists, or a God exists? And if so how would you go about finding out or knowing about God? If you weren't told marijuana was a DRUG what would you call it? What would you think about it? If you agree that homosexuality is wrong what made you agree to that? Was it because you were told to think it was wrong or you concluded from your own introspection or independent research and thought processes that it's wrong? How many things do we live by because we were told to do so and not because we did our own self analysis? How many of us are robots as opposed to rational thinking beings? How many of us are zombies as opposed to living?©

Am I? Are we? Should I? Should we? ©

Is it a lack of love for oneself why one would willingly indulge in activities that directly and consciously bring forth destruction? Is it a lack of love or a lack of fear; or a lack of understanding? Who am I to judge whether or not a man loves himself? How do I even know if someone loves his/herself? Is it my business if someone loves his/herself, and if it is my business, is it always my business? If it is not always my business, at what time does it become my business? If a man smiles in the midst of his own self inflicted destruction, does it mean he's comfortable in his destruction? Should it be anyone's responsibility or duty to solve that mystery? Should I be my brother's or sister's keeper? Or should I just mind my own business? I'm torn! So please; answer me... Am I? Are we? Should I? Should we?

Something of Value I came across

In his last public address to an annual conference of the PNP, he said: "I say that the mission of my generation was to win self-government for Jamaica, to win political power which is the final power for the black masses of my country from which I spring. I am proud to stand here today and say to you who fought that fight with me, say it with gladness and pride, mission accomplished for my generation.

"And what is the mission of this generation? ... It is... reconstructing the social and economic society and life of Jamaica". Norman Manley died on September 2. 1969.

Man and his worst enemy...himself ©

Man has this great temptation and urge for discord at times, that if left unchecked could cause destruction to those around him/her and even to his/herself. It's this deep seated anger buried from ignored discord whether internally or externally. Anger is this realm often left unexplored by those who it affects the most, it remains unexplored up until the point where one can no longer ignore it; until it destroys something precious. Many devils we fight on life's journey, none as sly and destructive as anger! From anger towards self we think lowly of ourselves, from anger towards self and others we give ourselves over to greed, from anger towards self and God we breed hatred towards mankind. As I seek to master self, I learn more the role anger plays in the destruction of mankind. It's more than a word or emotion, it's an entity coloured with tears and blood, traveling within us at subatomic levels polluting and holding captive every fibre and cell of our beings; seeking, feeding and devouring every ounce of hate in whichever form.

So send the warning to whichever mind you can about this aggressive paradox, for what you think is something else is nothing more than anger disguised. All ill trees find their roots here and all forms of significant and sincere success had to once defeat this enemy. Good-morning.©

First political debate could kick off next week

First political debate could kick off next week
What I find interesting however is why 18 Million dollars is needed to host such a debate? A breakdown of the invoice should be made available for public scrutiny. Given the high levels of corruption and the recent mystery of over $60M 'spent' on office furniture I believe this is a necessary step! Also it would be a good opportunity for the Prime Minister of Jamaica to back up his words about fighting corruption INTERNALLY seeing that's high on his to-do list. Practices such as making ALL invoices available for public scrutiny would definitely increase confidence in government officials and also reinforce accountability and transparency.
