Rubens, again you are not carefully reading what the other person is saying.

Harry Joseph's post on the success of one individual helping his nation actually goes with everything that you have been saying that Haitians should be doing individually.

And yet you chastise him. Harry and I most times have been on opposite side of the argument, so I'm not replying for him because I have any particular preference for him as a blogger.

And although I think his post on individualism and progress is inspirational, I don't agree with the premise.

However, even though I don't agree with him, I still thought the story was beautiful.

You on the other hand do have the same opinion as Harry--at least in that post. But you can't even see it because you didn't listen with care. I'm not writing to chastise you, but it just seems to me that you could be so much less aggressive towards people who are actually thinking the same way you are if only you took the time to carefully read the posts.

You have many great ideas, but you are unable to really open your mind to others who don't think the same as you do. People who can't listen to others make horrible mistakes that they could have avoided if only they had heard what other people were saying to them. Furthermore, people who can't hear different opinions can't grow intellectually or spiritually.

I think that I've written to you about this before.

Try not to jump out of your skin when you read this. Try to keep you ego in check, and see if there's any truth to what I'm saying.

Hi Boje Lwijan, Everything you said was so well articulated, but than you added that last bit at the end and I almost went into cardiac arrest. If we were in a live forum, your solid, well argued points would have been immediately forgotten and all t > >

Im sorry LINDA, but don't forget, inspite of my thoutfulness, and underneath it all, I am still human. I can't pretend. In real life, I have been lebeled as being comical; fun to be around; yet straight forward, the one who speak his mind; vulgar > >

FLO, I know that every concerned Haitian citizen is on the edge nowaday. Giving what has been occuring in our country; the fload of bad news, this is understandable. However, I suggest that you try to channel your anger in an other direction. Stop > >

ACCRA, Ghana — Coby Asmah is a success in a part of the world that is hardly ever equated with success. The design and printing business he launched from his dining room table 14 years ago now employs 54 people. He drives a new gold SUV, dresses as > >

I got you LINDA. I'll try doing my best not letting frustrations getting the best of me, the next time. > >

Harry, this was a very inspirational piece. I believe that many Haitians in the diaspora would probably return home and invest more in their country if they could. But their country rejects them by telling them they are no longer citizens, hence, no > >

Mr. Joseph. My apology. Nations advance through sacrifice and selfless contributions by its people toward its betterment. What my beloved Haiti needs is for all her children to get involved born overhere or overthere. There a gazillions of ideas and > >
