My Wish for Jamaica

Firstly, what a blessing it is to live in a country where we still are afforded many privileges.

When I look around I don’t have to look far to find something to smile about in Jamaica on the other hand however I don’t have to look far either to find something to be sad about.

The source of  Jamaica’s many problems stems from selfishness. Selfishness from politicians,children,old people,teachers,pastors,selfishness can be found all over the island. When I enter a taxi I always pause to say good morning or good afternoon and am often met with strange stares as if I have done something wrong.

People have sent me messages saying I bash my nation too much,really? Even when I address the negativity I always highlight the ‘positivity’.

I want a change in my nation therefore I will make known the wrongs that I see taking place.

Parents, the Bible speaks to training up a child well when he is young and when he is old he will not depart from it.

Yes that is true but honestly I have seen many parents who have instilled the best values in their children and they have deviated from that path. Before we jump up ready to blame parents for the wrongs we see on a daily basis by young men and women in society you should take a look at the mindset of the children themselves.

Politicians, when you realize that it takes more than just a 500 or 1000 to bring a change to a community or a once a year visit to remind people that you represent them.

Investments need to be made all across Jamaica people need something to do and yes opportunities are around and some refuse to grasp them but that’s ok let them be we can’t force everyone to want to make a difference in their lives.

Children, are so quick to become adults these days but then again what can we expect when parents put false hair in their children’s hair, place makeup on their faces, put them in high heels and buy them the most expensive gadgets. Don’t use your child as an accessory to show off to your friends then turn around later on and complain that your child is too materialistic and has no manners.

Jamaica can be changed I believe it with all my heart but selfishness needs to leave the hearts of men.
