Do you love Jamaica?

It really isn't hard to get up and say that you love Jamaica. It's pretty easy to utter the words I love you but do we always mean it? For the most part we are very defensive when non Jamaicans say hateful things about our country but what do we do to show how much we love our country? Apart from the occasional pictures that we take in our colours or the visits we make to the beach or parks what are we doing to show love for our country? If you love something or someone how do you take care of it or how do you show them that you love them? It all comes down to effort and commitment.

Would you place your loved one in the arms of someone who wishes them no good or someone who continually mistreats them? I'm pretty sure your response would be no, then why do we continually place Jamaica in the hands of those who wish the country no good and continually mistreat the country?As Jamaicans we need to make a greater effort to spread more positivity about our nation. We need to spend more time keeping out country clean and we need to also ensure that we teach the younger ones about the history of our country. If indeed, we do have love for country it needs to be more than just words but in daily actions.

SHARE below what you love about Jamaica!

Apart from the fun element turning into some what of a war each year, what has changed drastically is the awarding of the various prizes at the end. Throughout the years we could expect to see students from some of the participating schools coming forward to collect their various prizes at the end of the competition. We looked forward to hearing what the students would be awarded for their hard workout throughout the season. Apparently, this was deemed to be too much of a problem to broadcast so it was eliminated completely. All we see now is the winner collecti

This World

A world where people don't love you if you can't supply them with all the material things they need. A world where people marry just to get citizenship in a country. A world where the most educated aren't the ones given the best of jobs. A world where the television and internet are left to teach our children values. A world where the leaders of the church spend more money on church buildings tha n feeding the poor. A world where children receive guns before they receive a book to read. A world where in one half of the world people fight for an apple to eat while in the other we pick,choose and refuse what to eat.

A world where politicians get increases in pay while the citizens are placed on wage freeze for years. A world where everybody proclaims they can't trust anybody. A world where girls value are always occupied with their look
