Jermaine Andre Discovered The C.U.R.E.

Segment #007: The C.U.R.E.

Is society sick? Are our values sick? Is the way that we treat each other sick? Sick is defined as unwell; bad; not a hundred percent. Do you feel that the community and the people within it could use some repairing? Do you feel that YOU could use some repairing?

The riots in Ferguson MO and now in Baltimore have brought a rude awakening to all Americans regarding how we are getting along as brothers and sisters. Even though these horrible occurrences represent less than 1% of Americans it seems to be drawing about 99% of everyone’s attention, while setting the tone of what we all think about each other even if we live hundreds of miles from the areas of concern.

Well, whether we live 100s of miles away from the area shouldn’t matter when we see our neighbors going through confusions and difficulties such as these. We should take the pains and struggles of our countrymen to heart even if it has no immediate and direct affect on us. Shamefully, some who don’t live within the areas of Ferguson and Baltimore have taken an interest in the burning, looting and assaults but only through social media insults to either forward their own agendas of hate or, to brag about how they would handle a situation that at the moment poses no threat to them. This is not what I mean by getting involved.

Through the traveling of many paths in life I have found what I feel is the main igniter of bad occurrences between humans in today’s society. Communication. When our communication fails, we fail. It is whenever a person or a group of people feel that they can’t get a fair shake at communication that they seek other alternatives beside the form of communication that has been approved. It is then that force is issued as communication to them that their form of communication will not be tolerated. This leads to an explosion that can spread worldwide. And even when it appears to be put out, it can rekindle later.

I have learned that we sometimes have to travel the wrong paths to get the right answers and I have had some of these adventures. However, what I have gained from traveling many paths is an insight and an ability to understand and communicate with individuals of diverse backgrounds and ideas. I was even fortuned to harness the power to convince people of opposite values to communicate sensibly with one another.

I feel that society is sick in one of its most important areas and that area is in how we treat one another. This is where our problems begin and end and this is how I came up with a C.U.R.E. to aid us in bettering the way that we treat one another. My C.U.R.E. stands for Compassion, Understanding, Respect & Education. These are the values that I implement anytime that I meet someone, and I have learned that it allows me to communicate in a more positive fashion with them. It also breaks any ice and allows them to communicate comfortably with me.

Please take the time to listen to my C.U.R.E.. You will be surprised at how quickly and easily you can distribute it out to everyone that you know and meet. Because the C.U.R.E. is easy and already inside of us all.

Sincerely,

Jermaine Andre’
