What if…..?

By Stanley Collymore

If all the decent and rational people in this world

were to be gathered together you would most

certainly be amongst their number. For

you most undoubtedly, inarguably

possess all the characteristics that longstanding

and irrefutable statistics, themselves firmly

conjoined with serious and analytical

studies, most confidently and heart

warmingly indicate consistently

comprise the inimitable and

meritorious human being.

A delightfully appealing person and, in your

exact case Rosemary, the consummately

attractive woman. Qualities: whether

individually or collectively taken,

that superbly and emphatically,

resplenantly transform you  from being

the erstwhile stranger that you were

into someone that it’s now both

an opportunity and a distinct

pleasure, even faraway so,

to affectionately admire.

Author’s Comments:

There are two indigenous and well-established Barbadian sayings that I grew up with, fully appreciate, attach significant importance to and from childhood, when I was first introduced to them, have consistently throughout my life incorporated both in my thinking, actions and every other viable aspect of my everyday life.

There are as follows: a) The more you watch the less you’ see; and b) The more that you greedily wish for the less you’ll invariably get.

In other words, concentrate less or not at all on your personal and selfish demands - narcissistically so or otherwise – and instead assiduously endeavour at all times to be a caring and commendable human being. And in the process of thinking less about yourself and more about others is a sure-fire way of reaping lasting rewards, of all kinds, that you previously never visualized would ever happen to you.

Quite clever us Bajans!
