Life through my eyes

 Let's face it. Life is unfair and brutal. However, the shocking truth is that we love to cover it with fantasy to make us feel better but in the end, the truth must come to light. So here are some shocking truths that we need to hear No one cares about you if you don't care about yourself - This may come off as harsh but it's the truth. Everyone in life is trying to live their lives to the maximum potential. Everyone is trying to climb over the backs of others to reach their goals. That's why it's called a rat race; there is one cheese and a million rats. Sure you may be asking how come there are aid organizations and counseling agencies? Simple, they are there to collect the wounded and move them off the side so others can continue life's race, and they may be also diversion tactics to keep you off your goals, so they can achieve theirs.  You will be forgotten one day -  You only have a limited amount of time at the place you are in life. Everything that you ...

In life, we all try to seek the approval of the persons around us. We want to be liked, loved, respected, praise and cherished. However, there are some situations where persons will not value you even though some will pretend to value you. For these situations, I will give some tips to help you know when you're not being valued You always have to initiate the conversation. Sure, conversations are good and everything but if you are the one always starting it that should be a major red flag. Conversations are a method in which people share values and attitudes with each other. If you are the one always starting the conversation with your friends or group of colleagues it means that these people do not value anything that you're saying. Sure, they may go with the flow of your conversation but when it comes to giving their input it is often short and to the point, as to end the conversation quickly. This manoeuvre is used to get out of your way as soon as possible because ...

Hello again everyone! I have returned again unto you. I have been busy with exams and I was in the Jamaican Parish of Manchester visiting my relative. Currently, I am at present in search of employment to serve my family and pay off my student loan. While I was in the countryside, I couldn't but help notice how beautiful Jamaica really is. You understand I live in Kingston and the sole matter I see often is concrete buildings, roads, cars, pollution and people; not to say I don't like people, but they tend to be exceedingly aggressive, uncouth, untidy, disorganized, scandalous, vicious and selfish. In addition, Kingston tends to be a plaza filled with high crime rates and poverty which means high stress rates for the dwellers. So I said to myself, I need some relief from all this stress and went to the cool Parish of Manchester to chill out from the heat in Kingston. While I was in Manchester, I could take in the beauty of God's creation; trees, birds, flowers, the stars (I...

In today's world there is high levels of violence occurring in every imaginable location affecting both young and old. The amazing thing about the world is that we adapt by providing security in our homes, businesses and schools to continue our daily lives. However, when it comes to religious institutions, there is no sign of security of the members or church to feel comfortable. Constantly there are reports of criminals and terrorist attacks on religious institutions such as churches, mosques and synagogues. These institutions usually cater to families which means there must be children. So this begs the question, are religious institutions safe? Well let us examine the facts. I attend a christian church in Kingston, Jamaica and somehow I am not satisfied with the safety that my church offers. Recently a member's vehicle was stolen from the church's parking lot during service. The member was extorted of a large sum of money from the criminals to return his vehicle in a saf...

You know ever since I was young, I always thought that the people in the church were the nicest people in the world. I have been going to church for a long time now and I was always told that church was the best you could be. Well since I have been there I was never felt welcomed; I always felt i never belonged there. Growing up, I used to be the laughing stock of both school and church. I used to be called nerd, stiff man, glasses man and so on. I had no friends and sometimes I was sidelined due to my lack of athleticism ( I was never good at sports).  I remember onetime people at my church spread rumors about me being an homosexual even though I was just a kid and I wasn't even one. This tarnished my stature very badly and it took some years to be fixed. I remember when those church folks would call me a weirdo even now. Some don't even know my name, age, birthday or school and I have been there for over 20 years. Yet these are the same folks telling you to love one another. ...

Dogs are man's best friend. They are our most loyal companion even better than our own kind. This begs to wonder if dogs have a nationality? If you were to take a dog from one country and place it in another would you see any difference? Well we'll see if there's any difference with American dogs and Jamaican dogs. 1. Fetching American dog catches the stick, brings it bank. Jamaican dog states at the stick and looks at you blankly. 2. Commands The American dog has a brain like a computer, remember large series of commands. They can sit, heel,roll over, bark, stand up, fetch, play Dead, and etc. while the Jamaican dog only knows two commands; move and go round a back. Anything else will be useless. 3. Walking. American owners always take their dogs on walks. They walk their dogs to every location possible with leases on. However, Jamaican dogs take themselves on walks to where ever they feel. Also there are no dog catchers or pounds. 4.  Health American dogs are keep...

It is constantly alleged by women that all men are dogs. Nevertheless, there has been no comparison in this day and age for women. Being an owner of both cats and dogs I have found some similar traits with respect to women and men. So without much delay here are the similarities between cats and dogs and men and women. Dogs are more friendlier than cats-Dogs are one of the most friendliest animals planets. They have a more friendly looking face and they are always down for a party or games. For example, my dog, Red, will be friends with me no matter what, even if he is punished for bad behavior. He also likes to play a lot. Cats on the other hand like to left alone. They hate people approaching them and they like to relax another in the corner. In correlation to men and women, men tend to be very friendly and they love the excitement and games. Women, like cats, will stay in the background and they are usually more reserved. Dogs bark, cats hiss- Dogs usually...
