Hurricane Irene has passed through the islands of The Bahamas leaving all life intact. Thank God for that; yet people are complaining about this little thing or that insignificant matter.
Why do we find fault so much, even in time of great blessings?
The electricity is a typical example. We have life and we are in good health; yet we grumble about the power being off as if we are entitled to an eternal and uninterrupted electricity source.
Not even the mighty USA could afford to have the lights on when a violent storm is passing through; and sometimes the power is off for days or weeks before restoration - as a result of storm damage.
Most of the citizens of this world don’t have electricity, or a bowl to sit on to enjoy a good pass. Most inhabitants of the earth don’t have a food store or a shopping center to shop for the essentials of life before a threatening tempest.
Most people don’t have radios, satellites or any communication devices; nor do they have a dependable roof over their heads.
We in The Bahamas have access to all the conveniences of daily living, but we whine nonetheless – even when there is nothing to nitpick about. It’s a culture of ungratefulness and self-inflected wretchedness.
We are too damn ungrateful!
My brothers and sisters, we need to do better as God is not pleased with us just now.
