IN OUR CERTAIN TODAY, INDIVIDUAL ALWAYS TRIES TO FIND OUT, TRIES TO LOOK FOR THE FACTS EITHER TO GAIN KNOWLEDGE IN WHICH HELP THEM TO REASON POSITIVELY NOT NEGATIVELY AS WE ALWAYS DO. THE REALITY OF THE TRUTH ASSIT INDIVIDUAL TO REASON AND ANALYSE INFORMATION SURROUNDING US AT WHICH TIME WE CAN BE ABLE TOGETHER OUR VIEWS, IDEAS AND POINTS SUCH NOT TO TALK FOR TALKING SAKE.
IN REFERENCE, TO A LAYMEN, THEY TRIED TO SEEK AND KNOW NOT JUST TO VOICE OUT WHY THEY THINK OR TAUGHT NEITHER TO KNOW. MORE PEOPLE TODAY, HAVE LOST THEIR INTEGRITY BY CRITICIZING THEIR COLLEAGUES, TANISHING THEIR FRIENDS REPUTATIONS EVEN GO THUS FAR BY DENIGRATING THEIR OWN COUNTRY IMPROVEMENT.
FOR SO DOING, LIBERIAN NEED TO SEEK AND KNOW THE REALITY OF TRUTH NOT TO ENGAGE INTO COORUPTION, UNDERMIND, CHARACTER ASSISSINATION AND JOB ABANADONMENT, NEITHER TO MISS THE MARK OF LOVE AS SOMEBODY SAYS, “LOVE YOURSELF AS YOU LOVE YOUR NEIGBORD”. WHAT CAN WE SAY THEN? AS THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN; HON. JOHN F. KENNEDY; STATED “DO WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY AND DO NOT EXPECT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU”. THIS QUOTATION SHOULD TEACH, DIRECT AND MAKE US TO BE SENSITIVE OF CHANGING MINDS AND CHANGING ATTAITUDES AS INTRODUCED TO LIBERIANS BY REV.DR. LAWRENCE K. BROPLEH, OF LOVING, PUTTING OUR BELOVE COUNTRY FIRST IN THE PLANET OR IN THE MIRROR OF SEEING OURSELVES EVERYDAY IN AND TO HAVE A DEVELOPMENT MIND OF REBUILDING THE NATIONS AND NOT TO SET BACKWARD OUR BELOVE COUNTRY,LIBERIA.
IN VIEW OF THIS, LIBERIAN MUST LEARN TO KNOW THE TRUTH AND COPY FROM THE WORLD AT LARGE, TRIED TO FOLLOW THE WAY OF RECONSTRUCTION, THE WAY OF ACHIEVEMENT AND THE WAY OF SUCCESS TOWARDS LANDS OF LIBERTY WHICH BROUGHT US HERE.DO NOT ALWAYS COMPLAIN BUT SEEK TO SOLVE PROBLEMS, LOOK FOR THE ROOTS CAUSE OF PROBLEM,BECAUSE THE STORM IS OVER AND TOGETHER WE CAN DEFINITELY REACH TO A POINT OF RECONCILIATION; MEANS TO BRING THE COUNTRY TO AN INTERNATIONAL STANDARD, RIGHT DIRECTION OF LIFE NOT TO WASTE OUR TIMES OF CONTRIBUTING TO SUSTAINABLE POVERTY.
IN ANOTHER WORDS, NO ONE, CAN SUCEED IN LIFE WITHOUT GOING THROUGH SUFFERINGS, LIFE IS JUST A ‘CHAMELEON’, A SORT OF SLOW-MOVING LIKE LIZARD WHICH CHANGES COLOR ALL THE TIME, LIFE REQUIRES PATIENT, DETREMINATION, AND TOLERANCE.THESE TERMS DIRECT YOU AND ME TO BE CONSCIENT IN SEEKING TO KNOW AND TO BE COURAGEOUS. WHAT COMES ON OUR WAYS DETERMINE THE POSITIVE ASPECT OF REACHING OUR FUTURE DESTINATION.
IT IS SIGNIFICANT TO LEARN FROM OTHERS, HOW! MEN CAN NOT DEPEND ON HIS OWN UNDERSTANDING NEITHER HIS OWN KNOWLEDGE; THAT IS WHAT, WE NEED TO SEEK AND KNOW BETTER NOT TO MAKE A MISTAKE,EVEN MAKING A MISTAKE,, WE NEED TO ACCEPT IT AND QUICKLY GRAP THE IDEAS OF CORRECTIONS AND TRIED TO POSITION OURSELF OF BEING MAJOR AND PATRIOTISM OF HAVING FEELING OF LOVING OUR COUNTRY DESPITES OF EVERY ACT OF VANDALISM ,CORRUPTION, CRITICISM, DESTUCTION AND DAMAGE OF PUBLIC PROPERTY.THE TIME HAS COME FOR LIBERIANS TO SEEK AND KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF RECONCILIATION AND HEALING, THE TIME IS FAST SPENT, WE NEED WILLIGNESS TO ENGAGE IN DIALOGUE AND COMMITMENT TO PROMOTING HEALING AND TRANSFORMATION.
IN THIS PLATFORM, LIBERIANS NEED TO SEEK AND TO KNOW THAT A NEW DAY HAS DAWNED WHERE EVERY INDIVIDUAL OR CITIZEN SHOULD SEE HIMSELF AS A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR AND COLLABORATOR TO THE RECONSTRUCTION OF OUR BELOVE COUNTRY, SEEKING TO KNOW THAT WE NEED TO STRESS OUR HANDS BEYOUNG TO REVAMP THE IMAGE OF OUR NATIONS.
