After taking-in the images left behind by Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica and Cuba, I reckon it can happen here too and at any time.
We are all at the Mercy of Mother Nature and considering what we have done to this planet as Humankind in our quest for wealth, no wonder the Earth is rebelling.
In our small island state I dare ask the meteorologists and emergency response planners like NEMO: Are we ready?
We, as Islanders, have a habit of building anything anywhere and anyhow. We also assume that everything will be alright in the morning and somebody else will always be there to help us. Some people live like there is no tomorrow and don’t save a penny for a rainy day and some always believe that tomorrow will take care of itself.
The state itself has little reserves, and we believe that hundreds of countries will come to our assistance when the time comes. But, while that could be true, I think that the prudent thing to do is to be more prepared.
When you erect a structure consider it has to be strong for the force of nature, this small piece here, and a small brick hare, a sheet of plywood over there — with no standards and no planning — can cost you more dearly in the long run.
I can’t tell you how to spend today or tomorrow as you ought to spend your earnings as you please, but if you spend all on food, drinks, material things and entertainment just to satisfy the flesh, one day that will be regretful.
You must begin to see the big picture, avoid following the trend and safeguard your future. God gives life and you have to become sensible enough to protect that life, so it is you and only you that can really forever care about you.
In a crisis, everybody cares only for themselves, and help is not always ready-made. So, the seeds you plant you will eat, and how you make your bed is how you will sleep. The cost of everything is getting sky-high but it is tomorrow’s cost that will be prohibitive and astronomical.
The world around us is changing rapidly. We have the threat of wars in our backyard, famine, pandemics, global meltdown and other unforeseen situations.
Life has to be treated with Gross Respect, and you must acquire vision and stay continuously aware of all things at all times.
Misjudgment can cost you dearly and when the shit hits the fan or the going gets tuff, you have to be able to weather the storm.
The best could be behind us and today can be joyous but trod cautiously.
Look, listen and learn, pay attention to all that is happening at home and elsewhere.
I can’t see or predict the future, but all signs seem to point to negativity.
Guard yourself from the coming destruction, because it will arrive sooner than later.
Make hay while the sun shines and like the story of Egypt to help you store grain in the time of plenty, because there can be lean days on the horizon.
Pray that God is on your side and avoid the Devil taking over your soul.
Evil deeds are everywhere, temptation is rampant and you can easily be persuaded or influenced by negativity, but be guarded by righteousness.
Do avoid the trend in the present, because all that glitters is not gold.
So, my advice is thinking for tomorrow because the wrath of nature and the greed of man and the policies of governance can hasten world-wide destruction — and neither you nor me will be spared.
