Build bridges, not fences and walls.
DEAR EDITOR,
I have read Mr Emile Mervin’s very insightful letter “Will the PPP blow the opportunity…” (KN, May 27). When I regularly travelled abroad, in countries which appeared to be well-ordered, with pleasant, happy people, I always asked tour guides why people generally seemed so calm and contented, the atmosphere so relaxed. In every case, the first words uttered were “We have a stable Government”. Therein lies a message.
It seems daily political bickering and a tug-of-war scenario among leaders, contribute to the population being on edge; at boiling point mentally, thus preventing steady all-round progress.
Let us hope, therefore, that our political leaders learn to compromise, so that the country may go forward.
Let us not forget the Arabian proverb that “Four things come not back – the spoken word, the sped arrow, the past life and the neglected opportunity”. Let them now seize the opportunity to build bridges, not fences and walls.
