Remember when you were young and you were afraid? You probably ran to mum's room and slided in her bed because you were so afraid; or you probably hid under the covers with your raggedy doll as your only defender against the impending foe. Do you remember? You felt so comfortable and secure with all these elements of security surrounding you-mum, blanket and raggedy doll.
When we look at the world today, we find it quite daunting to find a place to crawl into or find security in a secure figure, because the world has become so suspicious and malicious. The person we assume we could trust could be the very person who can betray us, to hurt us. That is why some turn to the bottle or synthetic drugs or tangible green notes called dollars with little sense for comfort and security. Some people knowingly turn to those to who manipulate them, caught in the helpless cycle of deceit and betrayal.
- We need to reverse the situation we face.
- First we need to speak out and demand safety and security.
- It is our fundamental right.
- Then we need to find platforms to reach and bridge the differences we face.
- Look for common grounds, not differing peaks and heights.
- We need to be honest with each other and establish trust across lattitudes and longitudes.
- We all deserve a space on this earth; no one can be the judge and juror of our fate.
- Our lives are only determined by the One who made us.
SELAH
