Proudly this is for my Dad, others among my several Barbadian and Caribbean relatives and their fellow compatriots on this Remembrance Sunday who in a war not of their creation or choosing and compounded by the many and entrenched prejudices which intentionally they were forced to face at the time and that infernally are still with us in 2015 nevertheless altruistically fought and in many instances sacrificed their lives for the doctrine off universal freedom, the unchallengeable right to self-determination and the principles of democracy.
Reflecting on the world today through the eyes of their offspring – in actual fact people like me – 70 years after World War II ended and reinforced by how easily, conveniently and even dismissively their contributions were post-war forgotten, were their combined altruism and ultimate sacrifice with retrospection truthfully worth it? I have my opinions on that one but through my love of them shan’t ever tarnish their memories or commendable contributions by voicing them.
Rest in eternal peace with the Angels those of you who’re no longer with us; and my profound indebtedness to those of you that thankfully are still alive for your selfless and incomparable humanity!
I'm a highly intelligent, articulate and well-educated human being with an intuitive but enterprising sense of responsibility and a strong moral compass that instinctively demarcates what's right and wrong.
Trust, confidentiality and having the courage, regardless of what I do, to formulate and stand by my own personal convictions are key aspects of my life and, unsurprisingly, are also principal characteristics I attach great importance to and naturally expect from those who want to play a meaningful role in my life.
I don't suffer fools gladly, in fact not at all and most definitely haven’t got any interest in or time for egotists, time-wasters, attention seekers or the narcissistic.
Furthermore, I’m an adult and in my private and professional lives prefer to deal with genuine adults, so anyone who wants to act childishly and thinks they can have any kind of relationship with me, then you’re wrong!
And my advice to you in that regard is to go and enrol in a kindergarten as you'll possibly have better luck there.
