Almost every single week we read in the papers – and it seems to be a very reoccurring story – where women are victims of domestic abuse which leads to if not murder, then permanent (physical or mental) damage.
What bothers me mostly is how many persons are trying to solve this problem, but nobody seems to have a realistic solution. Everybody is just passing on advice they have read or heard about from somewhere. While the advice comes with a genuine sincerity of making this problem become a thing of the past, it still lacks one basic horrible habit Guyanese have been practicing for generations.
The first step in solving this crisis is we must learn to respect life. When I say “life” I mean the life of every single living thing. There is one particular religion that respects the life of a cow, but that’s about as far as it goes. I don’t want to dwell on it too much, because it will cause a lot of unnecessary arguments.
In Guyana it’s a normal thing for people to beat animals. They have no sympathy for them. The typical Guyanese person (both male/female) believe these animals have no feelings whatsoever. The reality is they feel everything we do. They feel pain, hunger, loneliness, cold, hot, itchy, tired etc.
If we start showing respect for our animals and stop beating them. I think the Guyanese will start a new culture of less violence. This is just one of my many solutions for making Guyana a better place.
