The images of disaster at our door step via the new age media of CNN, BBC etc. of the Haiti earthquake. One must ponder the truth behind the nature of such an event. Where a country does not have the capacity to muster support for itself in its greatest time of need. Chaos, mistrust, and blatant ignorance are allowed to fester like pus in an infected sore . Pre-disaster and post disaster, the exploitation of its people, not only by the very men who empowered to build their society and the people exist within it, but also by those responsible for its current state of absolute pandemonium. Sure now is an opportunity of "redemption" for those who have brought political fever to Haiti.
Redemption does not necessarily grant forgiveness, however "forgive and forget", my take on the other hand is forgive and never forget, learn from the lesson. Do not repeat the errors of history, unfortunately political reality is short sighted, selfish and highly inconsistent to the genuine nature of what is should be and hence; history will repeat itself. Those who control the chess pieces will continue to exploit their own. Unless a positive external stimulus is applied to either remove them with someone who will effectively do the the task at hand, bring enlightenment to its populace so they can remove the parasite they endowed with the privilege to lead, or do both. The final option in my honest opinion is the best the society learns and is empowered, and a leader with a handle on direction with a purpose, comes to fruition. Never again will a situation of deep contemplation can equate to masturbation. The more intense talk we do about a issue, the more we believe that we've actually achieved our goal or done something to remedy it.
That is so true, what more can they possibly do, i guess now its time for them to further prolong their stay as well as their procrastination of the delivery process of relief efforts, I am sure that as we continue to watch our sorrows will turn into disgust as they drag their feet on what ought to be done first. (I think they call it protocol)
ReplyDeleteI am not one to follow these things but it was referred to me by a colleague and i must say kudos to the authors of these blogs whoever you are. We ought to really take a good look at the harsh realities behind and beyond all this, the true nature of it all , in my opinion in as much as history would show that Haiti has been in the forefront of rebellions in the days of the slave trade and the oppressions they have suffered there after has probably been as a result of their economic strife. Now its time for the true qualities of these superpowers and how they perceive us here in this hemisphere, I am sure there will be some disgusting scenes to come.
