Mr Manning, the exemplar

THE EDITOR: I think that Mr Patrick Manning is the best example that this country can have to follow.

I found out that he cut himself off from certain married persons when he found out that they were involved in outside relationships. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that holders of high office could be so moralistic. I would like to recommend that the rest of the country follow suit. If your friend, neighbour, co-worker, sibling, parent or any other married person you know is involved with another person on an intimate level cut them off from your life. Not just your social life but your entire life until they decide to be a decent human being.

Think about it, if this person can lie, cheat and disrespect her/his spouse then what can s/he do to you or your loved ones. They are not to be trusted. Take no chances; cut them off, you don’t want persons like that near you. Society needs to make some ground rules, do not just say, act. Infidelity, or horning, is rampant and it destroys the moral fabric of our people. Let them know that a commitment is sacred, if you can’t stand by it don’t make it. When you see the changes that will occur if everyone follows this advice the whole country will be able to progress and a new day will emerge. This is a promise.
