BROAD DAY GANG ROBBERY - TELECOM, MEDIA CONSPIRACY

The notoriety of telecommunication companies within Ghana in the cycle of provocation, abuse and poor services is nauseating.

Load your phone with airtime and it shall be dissipated in seconds or simply load your phone over the night and by morning it shall vanish leaving you at each instance wondering whom you last called and for how long you spoke.

The coming of MTN, TIGO, Airtel, Vodaphone, etc. was hailed as a breakthrough in Ghana’s development as their presence made information dissemination easy contrary to the time consuming postal services.

However, the tendency of abuse and disrespect meted to subscribers on daily bases is nauseating, making the use of mobile phones an ‘unbearable liability.'

By fetish promotions, our phones are ferociously flooded with junk messages and needless pre-recorded auto-play phone calls; seeking attention from customers for poor services.

The mundane “robbing Peter to pay Paul” promotions are the order of the day, in their quest to entice unsuspecting customers to sign up to “ghost-winner”and “never-ending” promotions.

Moreover, they jointly with the media showcase “all is well” cheap communist media propaganda as cover up and further lure unsuspecting customers onboard – who always get disappointed referencing the poor services rendered.

The media understandably are tamed or compromised in executing their societal sentinel role to avoid exclusion from adverting packages.

 An attempt to “mobile-port” to another network may result in “jumping from frying pan into fire”, rendering the act of porting not a panacea to the telecom mishap. To be blunt, escaping from “a-minute-by-minute” junk messaging and needless pre-recorded auto-play phone calls may land you to a network that deduct credit even at phone beeps – “professional credit robbers” or one that tells you “a switched on phone” is “out of coverage area” .

Try a call for remedy to their customer service center and you may end up being on the phone for over an hour and where the call is answered early, you are met with “hear-complaint-only-robots” who have no power to remedy but to further lodge the complaint that may take forever to be remedied.

If depression is really a factor for the short life span of Ghanaians, then, conclusively, these mobile telecommunication companies have and are facilitating the death of many.

The National Communications Authority should up their monitoring role and compel these communication companies to focus at providing quality services at a rate of 99% and not the needless promotions, media propaganda and “cursed gifts”.

RIGHT TO DIGNITY & PRIVACY - MEDIA VIOLATIONS

1992 Constitution - Article 15.
   (1)    The dignity of all persons shall be inviolable.
   (2)    No person shall, whether or not he is arrested, restricted or detained, be
            subjected to -
                 (a)  torture or other  cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment;
                 (b)  any other condition that detracts or is likely to detract from
                       his dignity and worth as a human being.

Very often, media houses capture and broadcast images of arrested persons in Police custody for news purposes in blatant disregard to the individual's right to privacy.

The 1992 constitution in Chapter 5 outlines the inalienable rights of all citizens of Ghana including right to liberty - privacy, life, Speech, etc. These rights are further averred by International Conventions on Human Rights of which Ghana is signatory to. 

Many countries in pursuit of its virtues have further enacted laws to entrench the fundamental rights of citizens typical of which is the United States, that have severally amended its constitution to safeguard the fundamental rights of its citizenry.

These inalienable rights, by their nature are defended mainly through media crusade and the Judiciary.

However, the media, contrary to the expected, posture to blatantly violate an individual's Right to Privacy and dignity through public broadcast of persons arrested and in police custody. Such injures the course of liberty and dignity.

The role of the media in a quest to bring to societal bear, the  dynamics of crime and its trend through broadcast is appreciable, however, must be circumspect lest may end up institutionalizing impunity in reference to violating the right to dignity.

Truly, a convicted person may have aspects of his/her rights suspended by the State but for persons merely arrested and kept in Police custody or awaiting trial have their rights intact until otherwise determined.

A person is presumed innocent until beyond all reasonable doubt proven guilty by a competent court of jurisdiction and so for the media to initiate steps to broadcast a person suspected of a crime and in Police custody is pre-judicial, reckless and dehumanizing. The victims are forthwith branded as social misfit prior to the commencement of a trial.

The propaganda potency of the media can't be withstood by individual members of society, and so for such vile apparatus to be unleashed at the vulnerable in open connivance with supposed law enforcement agency (Police) is unacceptable and sinister.

Furthermore, there exist tendencies that persons are set-up unto crime scenes, arrested and then the media swiftly invited to actuate the whims of some faceless diabolic individuals. It is easily accomplished in a society where media coverage of events is mainly motivated by “soli” or a token. To be blunt, the tendency of some media houses to compromise their ethics in satisfaction of its pay masters threaten the prominence of Justice. In simple but strong terms, such practice of privacy and dignity violation and blackmail through reckless media broadcast of suspects in Police custody must cease.

The Media Commission must as well up its regulatory role and urge a halt to such inappropriately blunt broadcasts since damage associated with such endeavors is irreparable. 

Moreover, I hope for a day that article 14 (1) & 15 of the 1992 constitution shall be tested and interpreted by the Human Rights Court.

JUSTICE - AN ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT OF PEACE

The tendency of violence following elections/politics is common on the African continent.

Following the 2012 general elections, the NPP not satisfied with the outcome of the elections resorted to the courts to seek redress, a gesture that was widely applauded.

After 3 – months of evidence presentation at the Supreme Court, the battle of evidence ended paving way for the last phase i.e. VERDICT.

As the nation await the verdict of the Supreme Court, typical of Ghanaians, campaign for peace is underway amidst doom prophesy and calls for prayer lest the nation suffers violence.

Ghana has over the years of democratic journey survived nerve-breaking tensions during elections and we shall pass the test once more following the verdict of the Supreme Court.

The NPP and NDC leadership have on countless occasions pledged their commitment to the Supreme Court’s verdict, regardless.

While, verbal commitment to peace by these honchos isn't enough, the media have a role to constantly re-play the voice(s) of these political gurus to serve as reminder to them and NOT the many garrulous sound bites that actuate sensationalism.

Being last to endorse any attempt to stifle free speech, I hold opinion in consent with biblical Solomon, that everything happens under the Sun for a reason; in juxtapose, the Supreme Court’s outburst on contempt sanitized the airwaves and halted a trend that could have expedite the nation unto the road of no return.

Justice however remains the ultimate tool to entrench Peace. Many have suggested that the Supreme Court Judges’ may compromise Justice in the name of Peace. Notwithstanding, such stance contrary, shall heighten tension and cause a loss of trust in the Judiciary. Justice, no matter how bitter, is a sure way to everlasting Peace. 

Above all, Ghanaians are a peaceful people and I am persuaded that the peace as exist in the nation shall prevail following the Supreme Court verdict.

God bless our homeland Ghana.

REST IN PERFECT PEACE PROF. MILLS - LESSONS UNLEARNT

A year on - July 24 2012, Ghanaians are once more called upon commemorate the life of the late Prof. J. E. A. Mills who passed unto the land of the ancestors.

That fateful afternoon still remains a scar in the hearts and minds of many across the political divide. It was first in our history that a sitting president died.

Many of Prof. Mills' admirable traits were echoed and emphasized as worthy of emulation; prime of which includes: modesty, humility, and his great sense of respect to time and the citizenry.

A flashback on events from his death till burial in juxtaposed to today exemplifies the forgetting nature of Ghanaians as we have since returned to our old way of life.

Few days ago (July 12), we commemorated the birthday of another prominent son of Ghana- Dr. K. A. Busia whose passion of service to Ghana was widely extolled.

Many more outstanding sons of the land shall be commemorated annually; however, the essential lessons worth imbibed especially by the youth is short lived as we simply forget the personalities and what they stood for following each commemorative dates.

Instead, persons tasked with organization of the event make the occasion a profit making venture, as typified during the burial ceremony of the late Prof. Atta Mills. It was a masterfully flamboyant occasion.

Nelson Mandela who is now at the cross road of life and death is another faithful son of Africa who will forever be adored for his peaceful life; but typical of the 'black man' we shall annually commemorate and celebrate these heroes but never take a cue from their traits.

Until we learn to focus on the essentials of annual commemoration of heroes and not a mundane practice, we shall remain stunt in development.

MILITARY INTERVENTION, NOT THE WAY

Ramadan in Islam requires moments of constant communication with God contrary to is happenings in Egypt as its populace engage in mass rallies in a quest to define democracy in Egyptian parlance.

Democracy as defined by a western honcho Abraham Lincoln is government of the people, for the people and by the people.

It is recalled that Egyptians yielded to the Arab spring (as triggered from Tunisia) and massed up at the Tahrir Square amidst chants of “One people, one Nation, One destiny” purposed to oust their then leader Hossni Mubarack. Following which an election was held and the Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Morsi emerged as Egypt’s leader.

Barely a year on, Egyptians reassembled at the Tahrir Square, called for the resignation of President Morsi amidst a barrage of accusations i.e. the exclusion of other interested groups from governance, corruption, etc (a yardstick if used would have exited many black African leaders longest) and he has since been toppled by the Military and placed under House arrest.

An avenue once for Unity and common purpose (Tahrir Square) has now been taken over by anti Morsi proponents. In effect, pro – Morsi funs have also initiated counter protest aimed for the reinstatement of President Morsi as the legitimate elected leader of Egypt – a delayed call. 

Populace revolution with which Hossni Mubarack was ousted seems the modus adopted by Egyptians to remove governments the citizenry are peaked in patience; impliedly, President Morsi came to power following such means and so may have to exit similarly- the law of karma at work.

With the onset of the Arab spring, governments including Muarmar Ghadafi, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali have been ousted by a populace revolt however, Syrian president Bashar al-Assad remains under siege with rebels combating government troops, following which the spring shall reach other oppressive regimes.

The CIA and other Western intelligence agencies’ role in the actuation of the spring remains a mystery referencing their history. 

Democracy may seem a simple practice to many nations however, it’s not so to many others. An enlightened society on democratic practice and associated tenets is assuring.

Egyptian military’s willingness to topple governments to prompt populace satisfaction poses a greater threat to democracy. The military have no business in politics although many have argued that the military is the last line to champion public morality. With this practice, selfish politicians and orators in a quest for greed shall highlight what divides a nation contrary to what unites them, a factor that shall trigger revolts.

Whoever, emerges as Egypt’s next leader, shall have a herculean task to unite the polarized nation and perpetually preach to inculcate into the citizenry ideals of democracy prime of which is constitutional periodic elections. Arbitrary calls for change and subsequent removal of in governments is suicidal to democracy and development.

As lesson worth a note, black African leaders, must learn that the tendency for populace revolt is possible. In effect, the restraint of its citizenry should not be taken for granted.

DR. K. A. BUSIA IN PERSPECTIVE

July 12, 2013 marked the centurion birthday of Dr. K. A. Busia, Ghana’s under - 3 years executive Prime Minister (1969-1079).

Although his tenure was short lived, the history of Ghana can’t be written without particular reference and recognition of the immense contributions he made to Democracy and development; prime of which include enhancement of democracy, rural development, etc.

At a time in Ghana's history where Freedom of Speech is threatened in the name of Contempt of Court, the 100^th birthday commemoration of the man nicknamed ‘the Symbol of Democracy’ is significantly striking.

His commitment to rural development is highlighted as he first established the Rural development Ministry a move subsequent government emulated. A concept if carried out properly, the Ashiaman protest over bad roads would be needless; although such ministries exist.

 As a doyen in academia, he notably introduced the National Service Scheme for which participants over the years have testified patriotism, hard work and efficiency as an effect. Being the first to attain Professorial status in black Africa is admirable.

Notwithstanding, the Achilles' heel of Dr. Busia’s governance have been averred as the most essential decisions over time. Typical of which is the ‘Aliens Compliance Order’, of which illegal immigrants were deported. Today, presented with the same challenge of illegal immigrants, same decision (deportation) is hailed by the Ghanaian populace as panacea to the problem of dominance of illegal immigrants that have invaded our mining sector. For the record, president Mahama in his book ‘my first coup d’état’ emphasized it as ‘was against illegal immigrants’.

Furthermore, his stance of ‘Dialogue with apartheid South Africa’ ultimately became the tool that emancipated South Africans; an idea that was enlisted as crime for his removal from office.

In commemoration of Dr. Busia’s tenure, the youth in particular owe it as a duty to imbue the treasured traits key to greatness as demonstrated by Dr. K. A. Busia including humility, perseverance, tolerance of opinions, highly moral, etc.

Ghana awaits great persons of the caliber of Dr K. A. Busia.

THUMBS UP IGP

The IGP over the weekend demonstrated a great commitment to fight corruption as news trickled in of the dismissal and mass transfer of the entire Sunyani MTTU on grounds of corruption.

The notoriety of the Ghana Police in matters of corruption have transcended public perception unto factual.

Barely a week ago, the Ghana Integrity initiative under the auspices of the Transparency International released an index on corruption within public institutions of which the Police by its reputation emerged as topmost; defending champions at an umpteenth time.

A state is marked as failed if it is unable to undertake conscious efforts at muting corrupt undertones to the barest minimum. In effect, investors shun such countries. Underdevelopment and unemployment hike instead.

It is in this light that we hail the effort of the IGP -Mohammed Alhassan for the courageous initiative purposed at purging the Police service off corrupt officers. Moreover, the ‘house – cleaning’ exercise should be extended to the hinterlands on equal effect.

 It is sad however that the other institutions of state that were equally indicted have since the release of the corruption index remained silent perhaps as tacit acknowledgement of the report and its findings.

The fight against corruption requires a firm political will from elected public officials. Ironically, the Political Parties expected to lead the crusade against corruption were ranked second to the Police Service making the fight against corruption a ‘dead subject’. It therefore wouldn't be a doubt that the role of government officials in the Waterville fraud saga, the Woyome impasse, etc was key factors to such ranking.

The chief Justice, notwithstanding the intermittent sanctioning of corrupt Judges must intensify the crusade against its corrupt officials so as to skip such negative rating in the future.

Society's role in the perpetuation of this canker is also worth a note as persons in a quest to gain personal advantage seduce public officials unto corrupt sins.

Basic of the rules in the fight against corruption has been “the giver and the receiver of bribe are all guilty”. It therefore is imperative that public officials not be blamed alone for corrupt practice although society expects some level of professionalism from them.

Members of society must equally be ready to accept responsibility for violations and not tempt nor yield to the tendency of bribery.

GHANA'S MOST CORRUPT INST. IS POLICE - DEFENDING CHAMPIONS

For an umpteenth time, the Ghana Police Service have topped the Transparency International’s corruption index of Ghana among Public Institutions making them defending champions to Ghana’s most corrupt public institutions.

Notwithstanding, the societal relevance of the Police in the sustenance of peace, law and order can’t be swept under the carpet (ranging from directing traffic, combating crime, etc.)

The Police Profession is noble but has been stained by a few bad nuts that have made it a project to stain its nobility.

What becomes worrying is that very little radical steps are initiated to curtail this stain to their noble profession.

Although short lived, following each annual corruption index release, the IGP and his associates overtly vow to ruthlessly deal with corrupt police officials.

It therefore isn’t a surprise that the Police secretariat have issued a counter statement in recognition of the report and similarly pledge to sanitize the Service but amidst feeble denials.

As a human institution, bad nuts whose quest to pursue their greed is inevitable, however, the IGP and all concerned should endeavor to uphold and sustain the sanitary measures (rules and regulations) of the Police profession in a quest to lower the defects, plug out the bad elements within and project its dignity. Moreover, the Police CID department known for sting operations must undertake similar operations purposed at purging these bad nuts that engage in corrupt practices.

It is only in this light that the Police institution shall be excluded from societal perception of being corrupt and further being rated as Ghana’s most corrupt public institution.

Equally, Political Parties, Judicial Service (proud 2^nd and 3^rd position respectively on the barometer) and other named public institutions indicted of corruption should salivate over the report and religiously adjust their modus operandi purposed to avoid top corrupt enlistment subsequently.

THE RETURN OF KEN KURANCHIE

Until today (11/07/2013), the editor of the Daily Searchlight newspaper Kenneth Adjei Kuranchi is an ex-convict. A name often accorded hardline incarcerated anti social persons in society.

Notwithstanding, the reasons for which Ken went to prison was one of courage, in a quest to challenge the status quo (mantra of the time), “yes my Lord”.

For a moment, the highest court of Ghana became a “Court of Mercy” rather than a “Court of Justice” as Atta Akyea counsel to Ken Kuranchie intimated; where persons summoned on grounds of contempt had to profusely apologize and pray for mercy rather than press for Justice – enhancement of timidity.

It is no surprise then that Ken Kuranchie was given a hero’s welcome by scores of supporters amidst shouts of “Prisoner of Conscience”, an accord exceptionally historical. Truly, he has done what Napoleon couldn’t do.

Most importantly, developments from his day of conviction till release hints that not all convictions nor slays by people who wield demonic powers in society matters, for society constitutes an objective perspective to issues.

Political maneuvering to make Ken a ‘prison tourist’ is worth a note. Clearly, ken’s posture of strictly scrutinizing government policies must have triggered the desire of some political figures to pull strings as the prison officials became tools in their hands to accomplish their whims and caprices.

All believers of Free Speech of course must be enthused at the return of Ken Kuranchie back into Society and into the media fraternity, however, he must bring to bear his ‘tourist’ experience and magnify the need for dignity unto the inmates. His humble posture while commenting on prison conditions is admirable.

THREAT TO DEMOCRACY – ELECTORAL ERRORS

 But for recent evasive posture, Dr. Afari Gyan’s grasp at electoral affairs over the period of the Supreme Court election petition was admirable.

Notwithstanding such prodigy display of intellect by the institutional head, recent developments in reference to avoidable errors made by presiding officers during the 2012 general elections is worrying.

I ask, how credible have our elections been since the date of our million miles journey into the path of democracy. Could it also be that election results over the electoral years have been anchored on errors?

The ongoing electoral petition has brought to the fore erroneous but avoidable entries on pink sheets. To the extent of recording “twenty seven zero” to represent two hundred and seventy or twenty seven, etc. leaves much to be desired.

Whichever way the verdict of the Supreme Court may go, we must be grateful that these issues have come to the limelight giving an equal opportunity to over haul our electoral process.

Persons enlisted  to serve as electoral officers (although it is claimed is advertised) smacks incompetence which in effect brings to question if indeed the persons so recruited met the designated standards or were smuggled in through the back door.

Our democracy is threatened if these deficiencies aren’t remedied practicably soon. Education is key.

Essential to democracy is an enlightened society. Therefore, the electoral commission following this court case should endeavor to review its mode of recruiting electoral officials and perhaps elevate standards to an appreciably transparent level lest the commission be subjected to perpetual embarrassment as prevail.

THE CURSE OF TAXATION

Theoretically, taxing is devised for Societal sustenance and development; and governments’ worldwide majorly source funding for developmental activities via taxes.

While society expect governments to be innovative in raising funds for development and not burdening its citizenry in taxes, non-innovative governments resort to tax increment as pretext to the survival of development.

It therefore isn’t surprising that government(s) worldwide who delights in tax raise end up being low-rated by its citizenry; typical of which is George H. W. Bush, 41st President of the USA who compromised on living by his campaign promise of ‘no new taxes’.

Taxes however becomes a curse to nations that are plagued with corruption and corrupt public officials who care about nothing but to use public funds to fuel their greed and mendacity.

In Ghana, road tolls were gargantuanly increased in the name of road development but have so far yielded counter productive purposes as funds sourced is diverted for purposes other than the obvious. The roads remain untarred and unmotorable.

Recently, the Ghana government in a quest to generate Ghs208 million in 6 months introduced a tax law to envelope agricultural production tools including cutlasses, fertilizers, bows, arrows, etc. in the tax net.

For a government that engaged in a GHs15 million guinea fowl project, etc. coupled with an effortless quest to retrieve 40 million euros from Waterville a foreign based company that defrauded Ghana but for the heroic effort of Martin Amidu; the reasons for such tax raise is inconsistent with logic.

The mass protest by the people of Ashiaman in view of their bad road network magnifies the million questions as to the where about of the monies gathered from the road tolls and emphasizes how needless the new taxes are as it may end up in the pockets of a few greedy government officials.

 President Mahama should demonstrate innovation by expanding the tax net to gauge-in the other non- white color workers, and desist from the lazy operandi of targeting tools for aspects of the economy already under threat and vulnerable.

Moreover, the focus of taxing should be directed at sourcing from the bourgeois in society to supplement the proletariat and not vice versa – suicidal taxing machinery.

CORRUPTION COMBAT

Is it coincidental that the corruption Index on Ghana (as released by the Transparency International) comes to the limelight the day Pres. Mahama launched the Code of Ethics for Ministers/ Public office holders; bearly a week after the World Bank's mind-boggling release.

While the index pin-pointed the grey aspects of society plagued with corrupt practices and the extent to which society views gov't's intervention at mitigating corruption; the Code of Ethics emphasizes moderation and targets at visible combat of corruption.

For decades, the Auditor General's report have remained in the shelves to gather sea of dust.

It is also recalled that Pres. Mahama at the early part of his administration issued a populist directive urging ministers of State and Public Officials not to take official vehicles home or use it for other purposes besides officialism. Within days, the policy was blatantly defied.

In reflection, I ask, if there could be a chance of fruition with this launched Code of Ethics.

Their lordships, Justices of the Supreme Court in a quest to sanitize the airwaves against prejudicial, subversive and extremist comments issued a final no-go touchline following which the guillotine has fallen on Atubiga et al an admirable act worth emulating.

If gov't is indeed committed to fighting corruption, it should be that this launch (although lacks the sharp-teeth to bite) would symbolize the final no-go touchline after which the President will crack the whip.

If so, President Mahama's commitment shall be noted and inked into history's books no matter how short lived his Presidency may be.

GO BLACK STARS GO !!!!!!!

In a spell- bound and stellar display of resilience and talent, the ‘reds’ of Chile were defeated 4-3, ushering the black satellites unto the semi finals stage of the FIFA Under 20 tournament in Turkey.

The stint demonstrated over at the quarter finals shall once more be tested today as the black satellites play their French counter parts – a favorite of the tournament.

It is recalled that the French team at the early stages of the competition defeated the Ghanaian team by 3 goals to 1. Over the years, Ghanaian teams in competitions of this sort have proved to be a slow starters in tournaments but gains momentum in progress. Portugal a favorite of the tournament was knocked out by Ghana.

Revenge it is said is best when served cold. In this light, we urge the starlets to in esprit de corps, stamp authority in the game form whistle to whistle so as to solidify their position at the finals, for all things are possible.

In patriotism, we wish them great success.

CRIMINALIZING FREEDOM OF SPEECH 2

The Supreme Court proceedings continues today and Ken Kuranchie has become a "prison tourist". 

Amidst array of education, the incarceration of Ken Kuranchie still beats logic.

While persons in the "black and white fraternity" ve unconditionally embraced the Supreme Court's verdict as perfect (perhaps under a misguided notion of protecting the pride of their profession), society at large is split in opinion. Either ways, there is a call for circumspection on speech ; moreover, the sentinel role of vigilantes/ institutions shall either be diluted or experience "enhanced timidity", a situation already glaring.

Inherent in the literal and operational definition of "contempt" is the element of "willful disrespect or disregard" to a court / authority. Something which (in my mind) was missing in the publication of Ken.

Ironically, the originators of this "contempt concept" ve amended their statues to meet the growing need for freedom of speech contrary to what we find now in Ghana - where our legislators and all "who matter" ve wilfully embraced the "contempt concept" unquestioningly. Perhaps, in thought that it'll immune them off "harsh public scrutiny".

As a dear friend puts it, "Justice remains what the mighty says it is". 

For now we remain docile to the intimidation and hope that someday, one of the "black and white fraternity" or those on the "corridors of power" will fall prey to this "Judicial teeth" - contempt.

For only then shall there be a realisation for a re-look at this frankenstein - contempt.

Fingers crossed.

CRIMINALIZING FREEDOM OF SPEECH

Yesterday, it was Sammy Awuku, today, 3 other citizens ve bn named to appear before these "legal tyrants" for expressing their opinions.

While appreciating d need for a "civil approach" to conflict via d Judiciary, it is imperative that attempts to curtail and criminalise freedom of speech be SPOKEN AGAINST.

In Political studies, the only way to REGULATE Freedom of Speech is to GUARANTEE more Freedom of Speech and NOT to criminalize it. 

The Supreme Court isnt above reproach and so must be "criticised in line" with "societal desires ". 

The quest of these Judges to "drawn opinions" is counter productive to our democracy. Moreover, making d Judiciary a fearsome entity if BALEFUL. 

"The named " shd "put up a fight" in defense and NOT tow the COWARD'S PATH of "YES MY LORD"

DYNAMICS OF LOVE

Love is strange but the most beautiful thing under the sun; "a star on earth" confessed.

Love is surrendering everything: ur "heart"/trust and hope to receive nothing back but the "heart"/trust of the person u love.

Two kinds of people however exist in the demonstration of love.

1. Those who easily trust. Such easily fall to love and d temptation to trust; they get disappointed, yet still, they pick up the pieces and still engage in love until they find the most
suitable. They're always looking for someone to trust and are unsuspecting.

2. The second group is the paranoids; they are suspicious of everything and everybody and so find it very difficult to surrender trust to another. They are full of secrets and "fear to let out". They hide their weakness of trust and excuse themselves of love in the name of being busy, impatient, " i'm not ready to love" or I've not found Mr/Mrs Right; perhaps, until such a time they're ready to let go. One disappointment becomes "a general definition for all". They fear to surrender their freedom and claim specialty ie. God will send forth.

We are who we are cos that's who are. Patience, is required to unravel the understanding of that person u love.

While some people are eager to trust, to love; be trusted and be loved others prefer their confines until they can "safely trust and love".

Its all the making of nature to balance society.

Either ways WE SHALL ALL TRULY LOVE SOMEDAY.
