Sometimes I think the world would be much better if we
realize that life is about simple truths. Sure the great philosophers are on to
something too… but we could get by if we understood some basic things. Like
this one…. “People don’t stay down forever”
My week has been up and down, for every great moment there
has been an equally bad one but they say those are the things that you endure
while you’re trying to become somebody. I think my journey would be that much
easier if people would recognize that I will not always be the underdog. Don’t
get me wrong I don’t plan on punishing anybody for making my journey hard. I’m
just wondering why is it that we can’t be pleasant and respectful to the underdog.
Are we too close-minded to realize that this world is small, we are all
connected in someway and the person you spit on today may be the one who has to
rescue you tomorrow? (I randomly
remembered the movie crash here)
A family friend once told me that her mother always believed
in considering the rights of children. This is a bit strange for Caribbean
society as most people under the age of 18 in the Caribbean (or at least those
I knew) were expected to do
exactly what they were told, no questions asked (questioning authority was considered
rude). Children grow up, they become leaders and their memories don’t magically
fade with age.
… People don’t
stay down forever
And sometimes I feel too drained to fight with the universe but
I trust that it will be fair enough to at least let me reap the seeds that I’ve
sown.
