Jacoba
A mastermind alliance sounds good. The job is to conquer the participation of the minds before the minds can agree to an alliance. This must be indeed the absolute prerequisite.
Very frankly, I think we must go beyond patriotism to achieve this task . It requires self discipline, Humility, objectivity ,Mutual respect and the great Collective values we share.Whoever can achieve that in these difficult circumstances can revive the spirit of 1803 just as France, just as the United States, Just as Japan, just as Germany and all the great countries. Let us dare believe in the Sublime again.
To all of you who believe in collective Emancipation, Long term National Prosperity, True Patriotism, the success of Our Collective Genius , Mutual Respect , Victory over Social Exclusion and Ignorance, let January- 1- 2002 mark the day of your availability and committement to start this work of courage and love for the nation.The nation is dear Haitian citizens all the people of the land.
Please Remember that Compassion and Tolerance are not virtues found on the stock market and that no nation can be built on arrogance and violence.
Remember also that a country divided, a people divided, a kingdom divided, a family divided cannot stand.To all the political Theoricians, partisans or adversaries, please refrain from using the old chorus of the Magnificat. Let us start a Gospel with this new song we are now composing.
It is well known among haitians that the saying "Ki sam pa ka fè la" is synonymous of defiance, destruction, putsches, intolerance,assassinations, personal attacks, arrogance, betrayals, disrespect, lack of civility and breach of principles. As a haitian I have allowed myself to be exposed to it theoretically to better understand myself and the ones who swear by it.I believe that some of us have been in the battlefield of haitian politics and know of it, I have not, I have seen it but I never participated in it therefore I ask them to bring their wisdom to the forums with grace for mutual success and to build this alliance for collective success.
The wise also know that Haiti is among the countries in which success is a curse rather than a subject for celebration, it is indeed a deviation, therefore use subtleties always but surpass yourself to bring that stone to the reconstruction of these majestic ruins.
To those who have had the courage to accept abuses and still continue to respond, to share, to enlighten with humility, with tolerance, forgiveness, Patriotism and perseverance , I have no need to advise you. I admire your truthfulness and Dignity. I do not promise sanctity if I receive personal attacks but I guarantee my truthful collaboration and unconditional respect to those who apply the necessary principles we all need to maintain between us in order to overcome mediocrity, vileness, shalowness and sterility.
I trust that many would like to build this alliance, but not all of them know that moral efforts and loftiness are prerequisites to achieve this construction.I may sound as an idealist for some but let me reassure everyone that I am indeed an idealist but a pragmatic one. I promise to do my utmost best to challenge the pessimism of Jacoba with humility objectivity , perseverance, impartiality and solidarity because We need to build this new Haiti Now and together! Jacoba , Please do not resign.
Yes it is nation building.Work, vision, collaboration and discipline are paramount.Our Job is to support what is good and prosperous for us collectively and to fight sectarianism, exclusion, incompetencies , corruption, fraud, embezzlement, illegality, brutality and mystification. We must demand guarantees and demonstrations to all elected. We must be the voices of the dumb, the ears of the deaf and the legs of the crippled.
Thank you for the opportunity
Mèsi anpil.
