RONY BROWN'S SERIALS

Ronyserials.blogspot.com First of all let me apologise for and explain this stop thingy. After my dad watched this advert on tele he got hooked especially to the part that said stop. So when ever I get into rant mode you know what follows 👇. So yes it is an inside joke. And every inside joke must be explained to the peeps you tell outside. But if you have to explain a joke... Today was not one of my best days. I encountered one of my worst enemies if not the very worst.  Myself. I realised that in a lot of ways I have abandoned a mentality that got me through a lot of dark moments. And it was simple.  There was nothing that I could set my mind on to that I could not acheive. But after one or two set backs I found myself thinking, "Maybe I am not so great." The problem is, the greatness in me will just not hear of this evil of which I speak. Like seriously, you are not so great? Really? *Tears at hair* So every time I try to hold my

We did not have much of a choice. Many of us were brought up being very aware of color. One was black, another was white and the other one was mixed. So I understand if that is the first thing you see when you look at me. Well I may even go on ahead and say it. I see color too. And I guess that is the problem. But what can we really do about it? I know! Look beyond the color. You see, we can tell ourselves that we are not racist because we see colour. And it may very well be true. But to not be truly racist, we must not even see color at all. There may not be much hope for us. But we owe it to future generations to start ingraining it in our children that we are one. So it is not a matter of whose live matters or who is supreme. Once again it is a matter of love. It is a matter of oneness. That is not to say that we are the same. No. We are different.

In life, there are certain principles that we hold on to. And they are the principles that have become the pillars of every single activity or perception. These principles once ingrained will take a lot to be beaten out of us. I believe that our immediate surroundings have a lot of  influence in deciding the principles we hold on to.

And in the name of "This is what I believe in", people have ended atrocities like slavery and others have started them (world wars). Which begs the questions, How far should we go based on these principles? What are the limits? What really holds us back from going all out in the name of those principles? THE OTHER PERSON. In a world were we hear 8go for what you want at any cost and other things in this same vein, we may find ourselves not caring about the

TRAFFICKED- BLACK BEFORE BLUE She held on tight. She felt like she was going to die. She wondered why she had survived the death of her sister only to be killed by a white gigantic bird. And that was when Isaac held her hands.  “It is just some slight turbulence. You will be fine once we get in the air.” Isaac reassured her. She snatched her hands from beneath his and clutched her knees. The seatbelt did not permit her to curl into the ball that she wanted to curl into. And as she clutched her knees she felt her chest tighten.  This must be what death feels like. He rubbed her back as the plane took off till all was quiet and calm. “I told you you’ll be fine.” Isaac tried to clasp her face with one hand as he unbuckled her seat belt. She slapped his hands away from her face. He smiled, grabbed her hands by force and kissed it. “I know you are angry because of what happened earlier. But it was necessary. I did not want you getting any ideas, dear
