Alma commented on our post on the tragic deaths of three outstanding members of Jamaica's medical fraternity:
We
should all be ashamed at what happened to those who gave of their time
and skill to help others ...only to reap violence!
We should all be
ashamed that so many, even of our university educated under-30s and
quite a few over that age, remain unmoved by
the loss and carry on their supercilious lives regardless... We should
all be ashamed regardless of class or colour or gender.
We are
disintegrating as a people and under deep amnesia as a nation if we
think others are not noticing the correlation between the too much
make-up, too short skirts, too gaudy outfits on both sexes, too little
reading and listening, too little training of children in the way they
should grow, too little faith in anything spiritual that might help
guide us through the dark tunnel of our own Disney World of
misunderstandings.
We may be good at athletics but so what! If we are
morally corrupt and have lost our compass! So what? So what is a life if
not to be rich for the moment - since moments matter but lives do not!
God, Allah, Jah, whatever - please help those who committed the dastardly
deeds. Give them a conscience that will itself destroy them.
