Dear Editor,
I would like it to be known and acknowledged as the one and only solution to all the problems that we human beings face in our actions in all spheres of our living.
First of all, we must know that we are all born with a God-given Conscience, but it is necessary for us to be educated on the proper use of this to act morally and correctly and fulfil our responsibilities to everyone else.
It is a sad fact that most us do not obtain the opportunity to achieve this guidance because of the absence of moral education in our schooling, and because the large majority of our people do not embrace any religion.
I am now proposing the moral ethical principles that would act as guides to our living, and enable us to become responsible citizens and fulfilling our part in making our society lawful, peaceful and progressive:
Integrity, Respect for others’ rights, Concern for others’ welfare, Avoidance of violence and harm, Loyalty, Truth, Compassion, Accountability, Commitment to always do good, Fairness, Adherence to the Laws (Public and Moral), Honesty, and Reverence to our Creator.
I hope and pray that all our Guyanese brothers and sisters be educated on these guiding principles, and play our part in achieving more peace and progress in our society.
Sincerely,
Roy Paul
