Ramy El-Batrawi who was the highest bidder for the Marriott Hotel recently passed away at the age of 62. El-Batrawi through his company X LLC had submitted a bid of US$90 million. It has since been reported that the government might consider the second highest bidder or decide not to sell the hotel.
The death of a billionaire while he was in negotiations with the government to leave his mark in Guyana, might not be significant to some, but I believe that lessons can be absorbed from his death. The spirits of those departed arrive in the ancestral realm every second and still many of us do not think about the mark we will leave on this Earth. What would the trees that will outlive us whisper about us? How long will our energies linger? How would our goodness or evil penetrate the Earth leaving it in a better or worse state?
A time is set for all of us. Some fear their time while some wait patiently thinking that perhaps peace will be found when they are no more in this place where hell and heaven can be experienced.
