Vindictive politics is contagious and destructive

Apr 15, 2014 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
Our problems can’t be fixed if vindictive politics continue to get the better of us. It’s contagious and destructive.
It’s safe to say that I don’t support the politics of any of the political parties in this state. Our government isn’t accountable, and I, like the majority of Guyanese, don’t know what the opposition is doing.
Then we have grown folks and young people alike using the internet, especially Facebook, to peddle their own political ideologies, and some peddling political propaganda to the masses, most of which are bent and emanate some sort of hatred for the other side.
Divide and rule should be a thing of the past, if you truly want change. Be prepared to love your foes and those who you think are the reason for everything that is wrong with Guyana.
There is an adage that was told to me a couple years ago as a teenager and I strongly understand why it’s so today. The saying goes, “Those who are convinced against their will are of the same opinions still”.
If we continue to “buse” our foes and walk around stomping the ground, mad at the world because they are basically messing up, what is that going to change?
I know one day that everything that is wrong in Guyana will be fixed. I believe it. You and me, we are all it takes for change to happen.
Orin Phillips
