Hijacked comments

If by chance you dont understand why something is the way it is, and then try to force the situation into a preconceived ideal that you hold, then I would suppose that things may not be as you think they are at first glance. But with understanding, any such confusion will be eliminated, and you will see that things are exactly as they appear.

LOL...all this for sharing my experience and thought/opinion?????

"In my experience living and creating businesses in Jamaica for nearly 20 years now, I have no idea as to what you are referring"
From someone who was born and raised on the island and now return I share this sentiment of you. Now, the forum has a different point of view to draw on. In the future I will add IMOP so my idea can be easily overlooked by those who don't understand.

Live, Love, Laugh..nothing is as it seem, soon come, no problem mon.

Sorry for the hijacking Manda....but I'm slightly curious, Sweet Dawta...

Obviously, I don't have the experience of being raised in Jamaica as a child as you were & then living your teen & adult years in the US as you have...

and I don't have the experience that Rob has as an adult, fully working here and livng in Jamaica for 20 years...

but I've been dealing with my newbie world of living here for almost 5 years & I don't understand your statement "that nothing is as it seems". I've seen this statement before and have asked Jamaicans that have been born, raised & currently live here what they think it means...and they don't understand it either.

It seems to me this is simply a blanket statement that can be applied to any location or situation that someone simply doesn't understand....not a Jamaica 'thing'.
You seem to be implying there's some big secret here in Jamaica. Maybe you can shed some light on this big secret you keep hinting at, so visitors/tourists to the island that are viewing your comments in this forum, can be more informed & feel less paranoid from your hinting. And before you "LOL" at me for not understanding as you have with Rob...
I really am sincerely asking...please shed some light.
