When God decided to place Man on earth, He also meant that Man should be caliphs; being responsible for their own families, communities, expansion and their own actions. And we emerged through time, evolving into great civilizations that we are today.

Man are social beings with complex social structures. Highly intelligent, we have the gift of invention which places us as the top species on earth. This application of hierarchy however, challenges us on a very basic level of our social behaviour. And this primal character is what drives us into war and seperation. In theological history, there is a mention that Man was from a single civilization, race and language until an event, initiated by a self proclaimed demi-god, namely Nimrod which, eventually invoked God's wrath and willed Man to speak their tongues in different languages. This difference was what that drove Man away from each other and thus, the establishments of many different civilizations.

Many many many thousands or eons later...we are here! All of us, though highly educated, are grasping at straws in the dark. We forget most of our roots, and religion is now seen and embraced on levels that never existed before our time. And the result: highly stressed individuals who are on the verge of losing confidence and faith. Left unchecked, some of these poor affected souls resigned into committing suicide. And I pray that none of us take this dark path of self oblivion.

That is why I have chosen this day, 19th of June 2004, to promote the spirit of cohesiveness amongst us! We need to live day by day closing the gaps betwixt us all and let happiness prevail and do not allow despair any avenue to envelope us in its deathly grip. The old adage United We Stand, Divided We Fall couldn't have been more accurate. In being cohesive with one another we shall enjoy great and wonderful experiences that can never before be achieved alone. So I beseech to my cohesive brothers: Let tonight be a night of grand cohesiveness for us and may God save our souls!
