Meaningful change of any sort begins within ourselves!

By Stanley Collymore

You obviously don’t know me for we haven’t properly

met or been formally introduced to one another even

though we’ve seen each other around for some

time now and, as such, there’s always the

possibility I assume that like many in our overcautious

and, at its most extreme, paranoid society you might

even subliminally be overly wary of strangers

like me, particularly those who’re

perceived as the proverbial Greeks bearing and what’s

more distributing unasked for gifts to those who

didn’t expect them; and who can blame you

with the world addictively and perilously

hooked, as it quite evidently is, on the

worst aspects of human nature?

But even so everyone of us, if we’ve truly a mind to, can

do our bit to change all that by simply rationalizing,

containing and ultimately eradicating those

personal fears that trigger and intuitively, in many respects,

needlessly serve as the catalyst for and add to the

bedrock of disquiet that collectively many of

you are convinced is the source of our

societal problems; and in doing so positively try instead

to effectively reach out to our fellow man, be they

the next-door neighbours or not, as our Divine

Lord: the shared creator of us all, intended

and still does that we should. And you

my imposing stranger have I’ve

sensed the competency

to do just that.

Observation:

It’s a truth universally ignored that the vast majority of the difficulties which we find ourselves faced with and like moaning about are caused as a direct consequence of our own actions, wilfully or unthinkingly committed; a situation compounded either by our inability, unwillingness or stupidity to recognize or accept that fact. Think on it!
