What Are You Prepared To Die For

"I submit to you that if a man hasn't discovered something he is prepared to die for he isn't fit to live."Martin Luther King Jr. Today we see that people in the middle east have found out that human beings have some universal rights that should not be silenced by threat or by power.

Knowing this and doing something about it is like night and day. When the people do however decide to wake, change will come and leaders who are operating in the stone age will find themselves running for cover, no doubt with several containers of depends. The question we must ask is why has it taken so long for the people to wake up? It is due to ignorance.

Corrupt, morally bankrupt, and creatively bankrupt leaders strive for ignorance to be blanketed over the people through control. Firstly, they love controlling what you think. When you find yourself constantly being challenged to change your thinking to theirs, to change your ideas to theirs, to always see it the way they want you to see it, you are following a bankrupt leader. These persons are so fixated that they become almost antisocial outside of their domain.

A new day is dawning in the middle east, the people have woken up from their slumber and they are prepared to die for something that is noble. Now they will usher in a new day that will not allow a select few to be the only voice of wisdom and knowledge. 

The Caribbean is in need of sweeping changes but those changes will not come until the people learn to stop the ignorance of hating and backbiting one another. This is what governments in this region thrive on, getting the people to hate the opposition rather than the corruption. For centuries the middle east told their people that the west is a devil and wants to destroy our way of life and the people bought it, hook line and sinker. But they eventually woke up and turned their hatred to the corrupt bankrupt government systems.

Find something worth dying for then start truly making a difference in your world. Stop making up the number, stop being a jelly belly. Many people think they are broad-minded just because they are too lazy to form an opinion. The lazier a man is, the more he is going to do tomorrow. Boy sounds like a Bahamian eh!!!
