Young Jamaicans with old thinking

   I am all about my fellow young people jumping into the ring and showing the world what we have to offer and the changes that we can make once we are given the opportunity to do so. I believe that as the times change around us so too should those who have been in charge of our nation for decades should be changed as well. Our leaders have been given the opportity to forumale change but many have neither tried or they have been unsuccessful therefore a change needs to take place and new faces with new ideas should be able to show what they can bring forward.

However, sadly it seems that many young people are simply just young in body but have the same old way of thinking. One would think that they would use their young and sharp minds to come up with new ideas that will help to shape a better Jamaica but instead they allow themselves to be saturated by the same way of political thinking that the country is indeed tired of. If young people are going to step up with the same ideas and the same attitude what then is the point of me getting excited about it? Might as well I just continue to stare at the same old faces that I have been seeing for all my life. 

It's hard to be excited about much here in Jamaica when my fellow young people continue to condition their minds to either protect a political party or simply attack others and term it as hating when someone questions their political thinking. I'm not charmed by a nice smile by a leader I'm not charmed by a few roads being fixed its greater than that. People will say to me that change can't take place overnight yet roads were magically repaired overnight in preparation for a special visit. Let me enlighten my fellow Jamaicans who perhaps are still startled by helicopter lights our leaders can make changes to improve our country they just simply choose not to. All the blocking of roads all the cries for help are not things that will stir compassion in their hearts what will stir them is what benefits they can get from helping you . The only time time will benefit from you and I is when they need votes and that's when improvements are usually made once again across our country.
