‘The belief in pleasure

THE EDITOR: The carnival festivities and the Ash Wednesday “cool downs” and other activities in various venues which continue after ‘we cultural holidays’ have convinced me that Trinidad has become a hedonistic country.

Hedonism according to the Oxford Dictionary is: the belief in pleasure as the highest good and mankind’s proper aim; and that is what we have become. What a pity. This has been brought on by the greed to make money thanks to the media, advertising agencies all the rest who make money out of feting and partying and are laughing all the way to the bank. Is better we just forget about Lent!
