The solution to Guyana’s problem

Jul 30, 2020 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

What is the solution to Guyana’s problem? I have the answer but it depends on whether those concerned will want to embrace my solution that has always worked and is guaranteed to work for us.
I want to remind all concerned that our crisis stems from the racial division that was introduced to each one of us from the time we gained independence and it is now at an epidemic level which is worse than the coronavirus. The coronavirus will leave us eventually but we seem bent on holding on to racial hatred as we continue to blindly sow seeds of discord bringing us to the very sad place where we have to look up to see bottom. May God help us to see the folly of our ways before it is too late?
It is said that “He who pays the piper calls the tune” but I am appealing to all of us not to dance to the tune of a movement but listen to the words of the song and carefully reason out what you are hearing against truth. Only then can you be sure that your decision will take you to the destination that will reward you and the future generation of our blessed nation. I have a question for all of us. If God has blessed us with the amazing gift of a mind of our own, why are we acting in ignorance and allowing this great gift to be manipulated by others? Please stop! Look at the facts and listen to and embrace truth and you can be sure you cannot and will not go wrong.
Some of us promote the notion that the answer to our problem lies with the Madam Chairperson of GECOM or President Granger but let me inform you that as important as these offices are, they cannot change the human heart. God can change their hearts and they desperately need our prayers.
Guyana has a folksong that says “Captain, Captain Drop me ashore, I don’t want to go anymore” and I know some of us want to follow that song. But I am hopeful that we don’t jump ship at this stage. Let us work together to change the direction with the solution which I am going to present, but please bear in mind that a problem cannot be solved unless we start from the root. That is exactly what we are going to do to reverse the condition of our country.
First we have to acknowledge that racism has dominated our country. If you know and believe me, look at all the letters and comments and without reading go to the bottom to see the signature and you will know the content. Afro Guyanese will crucify Indo and Indo Guyanese will do the opposite. This is so sad but it is the reality of the condition of our minds.
Second, sincerely repent and ask God to forgive us for allowing racial hate to dominate our minds and then ask God for the strength to follow this new path. Let me assure you that God will hear and answer your prayers. Please bear in mind that the word of God says: “We will know the truth and the truth will set us free. Anything less than the truth is bondage and slavery to evil and wickedness.
I read a Proverb daily to be encouraged to use wisdom in all my decisions and I want to share a few verses from yesterday’s reading of Proverbs Chapter 29: Verse 4 – “By Justice a king gives a country stability”; Verse 7 – “The righteous care about justice for the poor”; Verse 12 – “If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked” and finally I return to Verse 1 – “A man who remains stiff necked or stubborn after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed without remedy”.
