What is most lacking is emotional maturity

Aug 29, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
I refer to the letter in the Stabroek News of August 21 captioned… “Morality not political expediency should orient all our national institutions”.
My reason for supporting Clarence O. Perry is plain and basic.
Being a human’s rights advocate, I have always felt that the moral weakness of our country came from expedient decisions. Meaning: The subordination of moral principles for the sake of facilitating an end or purpose. (Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary Fifth Edition)
For those of us who are looking for standards of good behaviour from those in authority and for them to set the example, expect them to know that a person’s humanity is determined by their relationship with others.
The fast fixing of issues by some for personal gains and survival have contributed to some extent to our moral dilemma. On many occasions I have heard and read about the importance of political maturity on and off the table, but what is most lacking is emotional maturity on and off the table and that can be seen in Linden.
In closing I suggest that the ruling and the opposition parties officially take possession of parliament through cooperation – a win-win solution – to avoid losing more lives for what can be achieved at the table.
Viva human rights!
Lennox A. Whyte
