WHO ARE WE? WHAT DO OTHERS SEE IN US?
Shall we say perception is the "name" of the thinking in our heads that something is or is not a particular definition or quality? Usually we are obliged to use the word because depending on the subject matter, it was difficult or impossible to get hold of the facts, or the verifiable of the quality of the subject matter of interest.
We have to hold onto that. Until we can by any permissible means do the verifiable of this imaging, which would then translate to be fact. But as I have made clear earlier, it may be difficult to get hold of that.
Now if perception is what we descend to gather as real and the mental image of the nature of the subject matter, there will be attributes and definitions of the mental image predefining what we behold which will also point to the direction of that "perception".
.."If you refuse to make straight when you are green, you will not be made straight when you are dry" - African Proverb.
Let's bear in mind that even though we may indeed acquire the straightness that we so lack when we were green, by the time that we may be adjudged as dry, there is another " thing" referred to as reputation, which would have involuntarily acquired and we may never be judged as ever being straight again! Even if we could empirically become.
This is sad, but we must endeavour to accept it as distinctly human and would not cease to exist too soon.
Having come thus far, do I need to expend further energy to expound my conviction? Since when we plant maize we have a strong and logical expectation of reaping maize! The only difference maybe, is that its this time arranged around the cob and in contrast hundreds of multiples of what we sowed.
When we make it common knowledge to the public of how we "manage" a ballot box when there's need for us to output an outcome applying such a box, what will be our expectation of perception?
If we transmit from our actions that we do not believe in the tenets of democracy, and our actions will affirm same, can we really complain when others refer to us an acrimonious and undemocratic group of persons?....

"...People must understand their relationship with themselves and others. This is because when
we see ourselves as we perceive it, when we see others as we understand them, and we realize
how others see us, we need to be keyed into the “whys” of the responses, and feedback we draw,
that are transmitted from ourselves, and others,whom we relate with; one way or the other, the relevant positive frequencies.

When we understand what we can do, from our knowledge of ourselves, or become aware from
others what we can do and achieve, or what we may, with the help of others achieve; and further outlining to unearth totally new knowledge of our capacities and others, we would be in a better position to undertake more responsibly, our choice
exercises. Then follow through to better outcomes, solving future challenges."

EVERY THING IS CONNECTED, AND
RELATIVE
"The Day you Win the race is the Day you finish the race"
- Bob Marley

Well, when the clouds have gathered and lightning flashes, one need not be told what COULD happen next.
BUT Why would the clouds be gathered like this?
You would agree with me that when we find smoke anywhere a careful scan will reveal that fire is also present. There's been a build up to the current scenario but what can we say on isolation to what we behold. Let no one be fooled when the crab proceeds to procreate no miracle will make it possible that it's offspring is a bird. Nature has no space for such abhorrent outcomes. We must always court what we hold. No sudden moves.
Are we to believe that the current state of affairs can be isolated from any or all other issues?
The last time my mother told me that if I wanted to prevent her from sleeping with my nightly crying, then I must be steadfast in my resolve to cry all night since the one who seeks to prevent another from sleeping has to also keep awake, and even more awake because it's the size of his noise that has to keep the other from sleeping.
So are these two scenarios related?
Why are some of us behaving as if we live on a different planet and can afford to be aloof or even antagonistic?
Again when we would subsist on reflection about our conduct, it is because it is connected to our ultimate goal of harmony within our operational space. Why should people be told that when the rain clouds have formed it could rain, and if you have plans to wash it is related. If you have plans to go do something in the open it is related. Its sad and discreditable when professed leaders will look on for things to get so much out of hand...

"...Many times, we are bound to feel elated or dejected, reflecting on how something has been done, how we have contributed to something
done, how we have fared, doing or responding to something.
We could have ill feelings or excitement about our contributions in class, or to some work output by a team, we may belong to. We are usually, so disposed of emotionally because perhaps, counting
on the expectations we had, before the action, had not fared well, or something has not gone well, now as we reflect.
We have formulated a more far-reaching, in-depth involvement, and correspondingly positive or negative response, perhaps due to what we know, what has pertained in similar circumstances, that we have directly been involved with, or through
second-hand experiences, witnessed.
In all these, we would seem to be doing acomparative analysis of the various outcomes, given what becomes apparent. But in Effect, we are doing a comparison in relative terms about what the outcomes were. If we do not set out well the
parameters upholding the values of the outcomes, comparisons of our deliveries will be largely flawed; for which reason, we would not have any basis for the comparison in the first place.Such comparisons, if to be carried out, may be done
only in relative terms, and which suggests that whatever we achieve, or did not achieve on Wednesday, as opposed to that pertaining to
Friday, can only be described as, “good”, “better”,
‘poor”, “increased”, “small”, “not enough” etc., in relative terms to the other: the two days and what
happened in those days separately are incomparable, and stand same but separate and different!
This is how, in conducting our choice exercises, setting up our desirable outcomes, we need to recognize values in relative terms to each other, even though they may bear the same comparable parameters, so that we do not dissipate our
resources. We would always get values for our performances
much higher or lower than what was expectable, in similar comparable conditions, from already known outcomes..."

HOW ARE THE OUTCOMES... CAN WE triumphantly say we could be counted upon as having done the RIGHT THING?

Perhaps as teachers or ones to instruct and supervise a lesser one on one conduct or another, or even as parents, seeing to our children do their homework or any work or chore, we could observe sometimes how being in a hurry to go out to play or to move unto more enjoyable activity, our children may commit severe "blunders" or mistakes in the assignment which when we came to, have caused these children to now spend far more time to correct than if they had carefully executed their assignments as was expected of them.
What has happened in Ghana within the last month at the highest imaginable level of civil national responsibility can be very effectively likened to this last analogy of the children and their assignments.
One may ask (without suggesting any wrong doing) what was so much the reason to have hurried out something that become regrettable (mistaken) within 24 hours? Others have made even "abstract" submissions that have stood the test of time. Some into centuries.
But What will make us hurry into delivery of these things such verifiable, before we have verified ourselves beyond any operationally reasonable doubt; since the attribution will be pointing to no others apart from us?
Again I believe we can all part take on these assessments without any distraction.. that the EC may take home some lessons from this evaluation and to make good any "corrections" when the opportunity presents itself....

"MAKE HASTE SLOWLY
“He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day”
-Robert Nesta Marley
“The Red eyes of the angry man cannot light a fire”
- African proverb
n Pursuit of some exploits, we would observe usually, that when we would be compelled to be in a hurry, to output some outcome, because of
some expediency in our circumstances, we may end up redoing aspects of our activities, outputting ourdesired goals because, as we would realize, the
tendency to overlook certain elements in our build￾up to our desired outcome, is rife; and many a time we have good reason to be regretful. This would culminate in stealing our progress time, that from the onset, we lament to have so little of.
Making progress hastily however comes with a caveat. We are advised to make a reality check,
hastily, then to descend to making whatever resolve cautiously.
A Jamaican adage points to the
fact that the “higher the monkey climbs, it is themore it will expose (its butt)”.
We need to make progress on whatever we do
steadily, and steadily means to haste slowly"
