This morning I was just sitting on my veranda and listening to people around me and observing people as they went about their daily activities. In times pass you would smell the pots early Sunday morning and knew that Sunday dinner was being prepared, the traditional rice and peas that is expected in Jamaican homes. However this morning I saw around five individuals passing with box foods. The times have come in Jamaica when people can no longer afford to prepare a home cook meal as they would wish to or the fact that some individuals have to extend their work week to make ends meet. In the evenings children would wait patiently for the ice cream man to come to indulge themselves in some ice cream those times are also things of the past as majority of parents can't find the money to give their children to buy any ice cream. Stop someone you see on the road walking and ask them how are you doing the most familiar response will be, times hard man can hardly make it.
Yes Jamaica is faced with increase in criminal activities starting from even our children and ministers are formulating plans to try and control the problem. How are we really going to solve the crime problem if we don't firstly fix the education and economical problems that the problem is facing. No matter how many plans are formulated if citizens aren't properly educating or have sources of income it will lead them to rob and kill as a means of survival. We can educate our young on whats right and whats wrong but only those who are already formulated on the right principles from home will be able to stay on the right path.
We continue to look for the light and the end of the dark times here in Jamaica
