With the global pandemic now sweeping across every
facet of the world teachers, lawyers, tv presenters, along with many other
professionals are now left in many cases without the regular face to face
interaction. The result is that as a means of communicating with those
individuals, groups and institutions in need of their services social media
platforms have become more popularized as the world seeks to bring everyone to
their fingertips.
One of the most popular phrases for me in these times
has become like for many others is “can you see my screen”. “Sharing screen”
has become the way to allow persons to see information in question for more
clarity to be given to those in need. Indeed, a very effective way to
communicate in light of the current world situation.
While “sharing screen” is so important its far more
relevant as a people we endeavour to share of hearts with others who are in need
right across the various aspects of our life. Essential though the question we
should be asking is “can you see my heart?”; can you see my intentions in the
things that I’m doing? and “can you see love in my actions?” As humans we often
struggle to allow our intentions to be purely driven because of our own selfish
disposition to the flesh.
In everything that we do we should be so led that no
one will be able to question our motives because they are without reproach and
guided by principles of virtue and justice. Too often we find ourselves in
situations where our very integrity is in question because of one action we
have committed for whatever reason. We have to draw of the universal truths of
equal rights and justice for all and treat each person as ourselves.
It should never become a question of serving my gifts
to help myself first but rather let me serve the world of my skills and talents
and the world will in turn serve me not because of my service but rather it’s
the culture of the society. We should not hide behind the screens of our hearts
hoping not to get hurt by others but we should begin to open up ourselves once
again to love and the idea of fellowship, brotherhood and peace. Its only then
that the world will begin to look like it once was when fear was not the order
of the day but love for country, love for fellowmen and love for self.
