Wisdom \Wis"dom\ [1913 Webster] 1. The quality of being wise; knowledge, and the capacity to make due use of it; knowledge of the best ends and the best means; discernment and judgment; discretion; sagacity; skill; dexterity.
Intelligence \In*tel"li*gence\, n. [1913 Webster] 1. The act or state of knowing; the exercise of the understanding.
Our main problem is that we are a 'D Average' people being governed by 'D Average' greedy politicians. The food distribution system is screwed as the people running it are not sufficiently wise to implement proper feeding. Their downfall is in their lack of the component of "intelligence" called "Emotional Intelligence"- combined with a lack of knowledge of quality nutritious foods, as even the politicians are obese. Emotional Wisdom is gained after learning of our own emotions and those of others, along with the understanding and the experience of using those emotions. Perhaps it is way beyond their capabilities for them to become aware of and control their emotions and thoughts, so the Bahamas will continue to flounder with poorly implemented half-baked programs. The health of the people receiving this food aid will continue to deteriorate from the non-nutritious poisonous tinned foods,and generous amounts of debilitating flour, sugar, gmo corn, and weird noxious cooking oils.
@ScubaSteve - Imagine that we had sufficient ships to blockade our southern waters. Imagine that we had a surplus of billions of dollars to give to the Haitians. The facts are that we do not have those things and the cold fact is we are not in their situation - we are in our situation which has to be protected from them. The Haitians are not inferior, but their numbers are far superior. The Bahamas is living off borrowed reserves, which have to be repaid by us. Essentially, you are saying that we must mortgage the Bahamas to take care of the Haitian invaders. I guess that is your Christian thing to do... The rest of us prefer self preservation for ourselves and our offspring.
evil [+] e·vil (ēʹvəl) n. 1. The quality of being morally bad or wrong; wickedness. 2. That which causes harm, misfortune, or destruction: 3. An evil force, power, or personification. 4. Something that is a cause or source of suffering, injury, or destruction:"
Bahamians do evil to each other very nonchalantly and apparently with little or no thought of consequences. The examples are just too many eg giving a contract to feed down and out pandemic affected people to a 'rich chick' in the west who apparently knows nothing about proper nutrition and apparently does not give two cents about those she was contracted to feed. Then there are those of us who were never affected by the pandemic -kept their cushy jobs and pay - yet through connections got more and better food than those who truly needed it. We coddle and front for foreigners thereby denying Bahamians opportunities. Perpetrating an evil against another Bahamian is like perpetrating an evil against your arm or your foot which is self hatred - we are all parts of one body. The most evil among us are the politicians, as they have greedily committed us and all of our descendants to a life of servitude in the hands of the local arrogant oligarchy and international banksters.
@quavaduff - The Haitians have their network of friends here and they have connections to get jobs for each other. Those are jobs which Bahamians can do! Then there is the fallacy about The Bahamas not being their destination - we are their destination just look around. If you are one of those Christians who gives the clothes of your back, turn the other cheek when slapped, and who prays for the health and strength of your enemy (instead of praying for their total destruction),then hooray for you. This nation needs emotionally mature right thinking people to pilot our country out of the darkness we have descended into.
A Farmer walked through his field one cold winter morning. On the ground lay a Snake, stiff and frozen with the cold. The Farmer knew how deadly the Snake could be, and yet he picked it up and put it in his bosom to warm it back to life.
The Snake soon revived, and when it had enough strength, bit the man who had been so kind to it. The bite was deadly...
It is a cold hard question of numbers - the food that can feed 10 people cannot feed 10,000. Under our present economic and pandemic situation we are not able to adequately help our own. It is similar to swimming for miles while carrying a non-swimmer, and we are at the point where self preservation has to kick in and dump the non-swimmer or both of us will perish. This is not about love for our neighbours, but our love for our children and their offspring.
The good ship BEC was wrecked similar to BTVI. How is it a so called captain can wreck one critical ship and then be rewarded with the opportunity to wreck another? What currency is this captain trading in that is good for safe passage with both the FNM and PLP? Just like a vampire, this captain sucks the life force out of his crew - leaving worn out shells. Ask about what training took place at the good ship BEC under this captain. The same ol' technique of micromanaging using fear and repression resulting in a 'plantation' is the captain's modus operandi. It is time for an unceremonious retirement.
I have never met a doctor who promotes the use of the bread-fruit leaves as a safe and natural way of managing and curing high blood pressure. And for some mysterious and publicly inexplicable reason doctors always impulsively prescribe pharmaceuticals from big pharma. Perhaps if we brought the PCR cycles down to 25 or below, and prophylactically give everyone Ivermectin, we would not need any additional covid funds. https://www.educationviews.org/india-st… Ivermectin is from big pharma so it would fill the doctors' impulsive need and actually help the population - if only to rid us of parasites.
By now everyone should be familiar with the concepts presented in "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man". If we mix in the UN's 2030 Agenda along with world population control and the many new mutant virus variants to come, it becomes obvious that we will never return to pre-covid prosperity. Our creditors have positioned themselves to dictate how we run our country including dictating how to respond to covid and its mutants. We have already lost the game, so we have to play wisely to minimize further losses.
Anyone with a modicum of reason knows that all melanated countries and melanated peoples are kept in disarray and subjection by the banksters and their secret services (mossad, cia, mi6, etc). The armies of the so called civilized developed nations occupy melanated countries to act as enforcers for the banksters. Your statement about melanates is propaganda.
