When reading is fundamental & seeing is believing

In a Quest to Return to the Badness of the Good Old Days:

Seems like the whole world is falling apart – Not just our Premier chasing bones in the brook but a constant beat of conflict and confusion… Russia vs Ukraine, UK vs EU, America vs America and Everywhere against Anywhere… Even Hell and Heaven claim Domestic Violence as Rain pours and Sun shines… They took us out of Africa and since we are not going back, Africa’s Sahara is coming to us – dust by dust and grain by grain.

I’ll go there!

Jacqueline Wheatley

As candidates are taking their places to contest for the next general elections, we don't know the answers to where we would be heading next. The recent news-making headlines of former Virgin Islands Premier Andrew A. Fahie and the ongoing saga of the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) have left us to wonder.

What’s next for government?– Expecting a fix

Opinion or Facts?

After 400 years, we still live in denial of our own denials and, because we refuse to think for ourselves, we are back to putting our trust in Colonial Masters… We reject Truths that challenge our intellectual laziness and would rather pretend to be so special that life owes us more than we owe ourselves… In this way, we ignore opportunities, misplace priorities and are misguided by emotions rather than led by reasoning.

Why Repeat the Mistakes of Others?

We live and learn so, it would be nice if we could say or hear something just once and that would be enough – However, in Today’s World of conspiracies and propaganda; once never seems to be enough for although we claim to search for Truth, yet, when we find it, we still reject it… Subsequently, our Lives and World are ruled by many who regard lying as talent and find it as easy to lie as to breathe – In this, Trump is not alone.

When Blind leads Blind, We all depend on Miracles:

I am no more special than you - We are all dispensable and disposable but even as we come and go, all that really matters is whether or not we make things better or worse… None of us live in a vacuum so we are exposed to Bad as well as Good and Wrong as well as Right… Whatever we do or know, are interactions with or lessons learnt from one another and, making right decisions are not automatic.
