Imagine experiencing life through the eyes of an eleven-year-old! You’d see the well-educated, well-adjusted, affluent European dignitaries and foreigners who served as boundary commissioners and chief secretaries in my homeland. These visitors who temporarily resided in my country around the late fifties; didn't just visit, they embodied self-sufficiency, integrity, and fairness, qualities that are truly admirable, so much so one could feel the energy they embodied. Their way of living reflected a life of comfort, fairness and equality, something we could all aspire to and enjoy today. How would you feel if such a standard was our norm?
Isn’t it fascinating to think about how this perspective could shape our understanding of life around the world? I’d love to hear your thoughts! What values do you believe should be prioritized in our society?
I cannot overstate the significance of cultivating a healthy outlook on life, particularly when faced with adversities.
In my earlier years, the specter of poverty loomed over me, often appearing to be an unrelenting force that threatened to overshadow my formative experiences. However, it is imperative to acknowledge that this challenging environment could have left an indelible mark on my psyche, permanently altering my perception of joy and fulfillment. Fortunately, I was fortunate enough to be encompassed by a nurturing and supportive upbringing that compensated for these hardships.
My family instilled within me an innate sense of resilience, consistently showering me with love and encouragement, thereby fostering an atmosphere conducive to personal growth. The presence of joy and a spirit of playfulness within this environment not only provided a refuge but also fortified my emotional well-being. This combination of support and positivity ultimately empowered me to transcend my circumstances, allowing me to approach life with hope and optimism, despite the challenges I encountered. This healthy perspective has proved invaluable, guiding me toward personal fulfillment and a sense of purpose.
Sadly, discrimination and prejudice seem to have woven their way into our everyday lives. It’s all too common, isn’t it? These narratives provide insightful examples of often- missed human interactions and behaviors which can undermine self -confidence and harm those who are most vulnerable. At the same time, they offer viable solutions to the social issues we tend to overlook. Discover the keys to living a safe, clean, and peaceful life by the avoidance of manipulation of certain expressions. When you dive into these stories, you're unlocking a treasure trove of essential insights that can transform your experience.
Have you ever noticed feelings being hurt by words or attitudes you weren't even aware existed? Learning about these subtle dynamics can empower us to spread positivity instead of negativity in our conversations. So why not take a step toward a kinder world? What stories have shaped your views? Grab a book and let's engage in this journey! I invite you to take a look.
There are individuals, and then there are those remarkable people, who, although somewhat scarce, or hard to find, truly have depth. What about you? Which group do you resonate with? Let's dive in and share your thoughts, what does it mean to you to be someone of substance?
But before my views are seen as harsh or unfounded, I want to clarify that my goal is simply to protest damaging behavior that contributes to the violence and sorrow we witness in our today's world.
Additionally, I'd like to add that, during my walk in life, I had insightful experiences in which I observed many of my own(old) behavioral patterns reflected in the actions and reactions of others. This observation prompted me to engage in a critical self-reflection and incited a compelling desire for personal transformation. It just goes to show change is possible after all, if we so desire.
However, rather than succumbing to the temptation of retaliatory behavior, which might descend into violence or aggression, I have come to believe that rising above such displays, and the practice of restraint is far more beneficial.
By exemplifying patience and understanding, I wish to embrace a more constructive approach, thereby modeling positive behavior for others to emulate.
As for the haters, this strategy is not to create panic or point fingers, but rather this strategy of extending an olive branch even when accountability is warranted, has the potential to alleviate not only personal conflict but also to diminish the broader social strain characterized by stress, insecurity and anxiety.
I would imagine that sometimes, it doesn't take long before all writers occasionally harbor the hope and expectation that their readers will not only engage with the text but also grasp the underlying subject, concepts and themes that are intricately woven into their work.
As a poet (of sorts), I am particularly invested in this process, for poetry has the unique ability to evoke emotions and provoke thought, often, in ways that may be subtle or nuanced. It is my sincere aspiration that the readers of my (uncommon) poetry do not overlook the core messages embedded within the verses. The delicate interplay of language, imagery, and rhythm in my poems serves to convey my thoughts and feelings, which I endeavor to articulate as clearly as possible.
I strive to create a connection with my audience, allowing them to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of meaning that my poems offer.
Therefore, I encourage readers to approach my work with an open mind and a receptive heart, ensuring that the essence of my intention is not lost in translation. and incited a compelling desire for personal transformation.
Don't you think it's tough that we endure constant struggles? I've been there, and I’ve shared what I've learned along the way. Let’s dive into this together! so please drop a comment below!

Hypothetically speaking, you may hate wood or metal, gasoline or loud noise, branches, leaves, puddles, the feel of wet clothes against your body, panic, fear or even men. Were you stranded in a deserted wooded area on a lonely path and lying in a gutter pinned against the cold wet ground by the trunk of a huge tree, by this time you'd be relieved and happy to see a "man" with a chainsaw coming to your rescue I'm sure. Do you agree? Then how about collectively avoiding any decisions involving pre existing biases.

Guyana my beloved Guyana.
This is the way I see my country.
It is with great concern that I mention the following. Apart from the abundance of sunshine, fresh fruits, freedom, good neighbors and fun, growing up in Guyana posed many economic problems being ill equipped economically and otherwise. The country was not known for, and did not provide any avenues for personal growth in the period in which I grew up. Hence my deprivation.
This tendency not only caused me surprise and embarrassment later in life, but a great deal of inconvenience when it came to competing with the trends of the developed countries beyond its shores.
Hopefully the upcoming new generation of Guyanese will get the positive fresh start they need in order to compete in the world from the discovery of oil in the Essequibo region in Guyana. This discovery trustingly in time will allow the dreams of prosperity for the nation to become a reality, and will provide a possibility for those programs that offer a new start for the children such as after school care. etc. will be an actuality so that the country might be better prepared to compete globally, going forward. Winston Moctar.
