JUST A THOUGHT - ON A JOURNEY OF JAMAICAN CHILDHOOD TO BRITISH ADULTHOOD. PART 1.

'We cannot realise our future, if we are too afraid to leave the perceived certainties and dogmas of past behind, and courageously mould the present into the future.'

There might not be many things in the existence and experience of us humans, which are pure. 

Which are of only one thing or another, as opposed to being of more than one thing. 

Being, as it were, a compound, as opposed to a pure element. And yet, this has not stopped some of us humans from not only wanting to be one thing, instead of the duality or multiplicities of which we are, but also to argue that we are already that very thing. 

The extreme of which is to argue that we are of 'the pure race', or that 'we are in danger of being adulterated by other lesser 'races.'

An apparition which is simply not capable of becoming a reality. 

The idea that us humans can ever become exclusively one thing or another, as opposed to being of many.  

For example, become solely good or solely bad, a baby or an infant, a child or an adult, a young person or an old person, is probably simply beyond being attainable.
