Cupid strikes!

It is the day after Valentine's Day! Happy Belated Valentine to all. Better late than never when Cupid strikes, because love is patient and kind. Because I crave humor & happiness, I must share a heartful of this creation to all my readers wherever you are in this global Internet space.  I begin with the end in mind, my hopeless youthful creative space of: When I was a child, the sight of police or strangers instilled in me a feeling of fear because I didn't know what to say to them or what they would say to me. When I was a child, the smell of cane was as sweet as a chocolate or rose. When I was a child, I knew that the word 'cock-set' meant smoky fumes to prevent a mosquito from biting me.  When I was a child, I knew cricket was 'bat and ball'. When I was a child, I  met with many friends everywhere and played many games and sang many songs, but I didn't know the words Internet and computer. When I was a child, I knew the word Christmas and what it meant. When I was a child, I never knew the word 'Valentine' much less it's meaning. Now that I am not a child, I know differently.  I know as an adult, that the police is meant to be everywhere and stranger is derived from the word 'strange'  I know as an adult, I no longer smell the sweet scent of cane. I know as an adult, the double meaning of 'cock-set', haha! I know as an adult, cricket is an escape to stardom for many so destined. I know as an adult, I play games only on a computer and the Internet can sing songs for me. But what a bonus! As an adult, I know two words 'Christmas and Valentine', and that they both convey the messages of peace and love. Bravo!  And wait, Valentine is not just for lovers. It is a time of giving, as symbolic as Christmas is to giving gifts to loved ones or to charity. Cupid strikes at the heart of every deal. The relationship deal between parent and child, the sibling deal amongst siblings, the networks of peer-to-peer deal, and of course, also in the corporate world, where the employee can engage the boss in a futures contract to cement that employer-employee bond. As visionary as I dare to be, time is my deciding factor as trust bonds may have been broken in unsettled disputes. The day will come when barriers to formal structures will be removed and bosses can freely treat a more favored employee to a Valentine lunch or Valentine gift, thus engaging beyond the veil of ignorance to uplift and produce more freely.  To the owners this blog, my intent is never to plagiarise, but to uplift in every sphere, whether the intent is to help market a university by generating interest on a said topic or simply to pursue my self-inspired personal ambition to become an author. It is a simple cause for the common good on common grounds that I presume we all share. Knowledge is of no use if it cannot be shared. It is often said that 'trouble shared is trouble halved and joy shared is joy doubled'. This is the beginning of greater expectations in the years that lie ahead. O what a joy it is to have a Valentine!
