The silly season can be applied to any situation that is ludicrous, farcical, or that demonstrates a lack of intellect or common sense. It is a season that never seems to end in Guyana.
This season exposes depravity, hate, arrogance and the folly of some of our citizens. Evidence suggests that many Guyanese lack critical thinking skills, lack comprehension or are simply daft. The authors of the plots that incite this season are determined to keep those who are vulnerable or easily manipulated in a state of powerlessness. They want to protect corrupt practices for the sake of power.
Insanity is said to be demonstrated by doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. If Guyana were a woman she would perhaps be in an institution, in a straitjacket, dazed, confused and frustrated because despite giving her children everything they need to be great, they continue to repeat mistakes that slow and disrupt progress. Instead of coming together as children of the same mother to be a collective body so that she can stand strong and proud and be the envy of other nations, they have refused to behave like siblings.
