Towards a new beginning

THE EDITOR: I hope that you will give me a little space in your newspaper to help bring some sort of sanity back to this country. We complain about the crime, indiscipline, adultery, bad driving, being ripped off and total lack of respect for everyone and everything and each and everyone of us to blames everyone else.

Well it’s time that we start to pinpoint the origin of these and put things right. Problem — People do these things because they are allowed to get away with it. Solution — Starting now don’t let anyone get away with anything again, no matter how small, eg if your son takes a piece of candy without asking, punish him, not severely but enough that he won’t do it again. One day he will not rob or kill someone for his shoes. Another example, if you visit a store and the price is way too high, leave and spend your money elsewhere. It will help stop these businesses from stealing from poor people. If your husband is not being a father and husband, that it, doing the needful, being there for you, providing for the family, demand that he starts to fulfil his obligations. You did not get married to be a single parent and you will make a better family for all, your children and grandchildren.
To a new beginning.
