L'Afrique nouvelle terre d'adoption

L'Afrique serait t'elle devenue la nouvelle terre d'adoption au sens propre du terme? Tout laisse a le penser car les stars s'y pressent pour adopter chacun leur bambin noir, promouvoir leur dernier film a Hollywood et aider l'ONU. Si vous ne connaissez pas l'histoire, The Mad Kenyan Woman se fait un plaisir de nous relater les evenements:
  • Nambrangelina: Africa in hock. Si vous etes une star, de preference Brad Pitt et Angelina Jolie, la Namibie sera heureuse de vous accueillir a bras ouverts et de vous reserver le traitement qui convient: faire deguerpir les paparazzis a tous prix meme si cela implique de fermer ses frontieres aeriennes le temps que vous vous penchiez sur le berceau de votre cherubin aux cheveux crepus.
  • Of course I have a Madonna Opinion… "This is a new form of tourism. Visit us! We have teeming wildlife, colourful natives and unspoiled vistas. Further, in your guest suites you will find our complimentary fruit basket, bottle of champagne, box of assorted chocolates, complimentary tickets allowing you to enter the lottery to buy the African country of your choice, your personal slave and of, course, an adoptable infant guaranteed to be cute, black, lovable and incapable of speech and thus at your complete mercy. Should you decide that you wish to adopt, please fill out the form conveniently placed in your bathroom next to our complimentary bottle of Chanel, and drop it off at the reception desk anytime before checkout..."
Je ne remets pas en cause la volonte de ces stars de vouloir offrir un avenir meilleur a ces enfants. Mais tout reside peut etre dans l'art et la maniere de s'y prendre. Un geste d'amour se devrait d'etre comme un geste charitable : en toute discretion et sans l'invasion des cameras. L'empressement, pour ne pas dire le zele, de nos autorites a "faciliter" le processus d'adoption a ceci d'ecoeurant que nous avons l'impression d'etre en vente "pour une poignee de dollars" comme dit le mauvais western. Mais n'etait-ce pas deja le cas?

Voila, j'ai parle ma part !

There are things we don't want to happen, but have to accept. Jennifer "JJ" Jareau

The Jennifer "JJ"Jareau principle In the critically acclaimed US TV Show Criminal Minds , Jennifer "JJ"Jareau a.k.a "JJ" quoted nicely her exit interview in the 2nd episode of the 6th Season.  Here's what I named it the Jennifer "JJ" Jareau principle. I'm thankful for my years spent with this family; for everything we shared, every chance we had to grow.  I'll take the best of them and lead by their example; where ever I go.  A friend told me to be honest with you, so here it goes.  This isn't what I want, but I'll take the high road.  Maybe it's because I look at everything as a lesson, or I don't want to walk around angry.  Or maybe it's because I finally understand.  There are things we don't want to happen, but have to accept; things we don't want to know, but have to learn, and people we can't live without, but have to let go. As you can see, ...

This isn't what I want, but I'll take the high road. | JJ Principle (1)

Take the High Road. I am sure several ones of you have heard it before tossed at like a wisdom nugget, and have wondered "which road is that ?" or worse, should you have been too stunned or lost, your mouth merely expulsed two words "come again ?" Truth be told, it's one of these sentences that are thrown away when a conflict arises, but on which, few can give a precise defintion. I'll try my best to remedy to that.   So what does "Take the high road" really means ? John C. Maxwell theorized The High Road Principle gives us a good explanation by stating that there are three roads or options that we can take in life:   The low road : where we treat people worse than they treat us. The middle road : where we treat people the same as they treat us The high road : where we treat people better than they treat us Let's ponder the options set out by Mr Maxwell 1. The Low Road If treated poorly, one reaction co...
