RE: Reflecting on my recent visit to Jamaica

in Reflections2 years ago

Very sad reality… I remember some scenes from a documentary about Bob Marley and I think nothing really changed for these years since the 80s. That’s a shame because Jamaica is really beautiful and blessed with various nature gifts. (Give me some Blue mountain beans, please!)

The task of fighting against crime is a tough one. Not only they need to have a working political and justice system, but the kids should have a strong example and learning from their parents. Process should be long.

I hope that after all you were very happy to reunite with your family and roots!

Yes, not much has changed since the 80s. The 80s saw political conflict where people had to flee their homes. I recall my granddad had, to save his life.

Absolutely! All levels of people are wondering just how, when, if, and can it be done. I wish I could make things happen. It really hurts to speak this way of the place I love, but it's a sad reality.

Yes, and my parents and my sister were equally happy to see me again. 😍
