Dead children cold in their mothers’ arms. Permanently injured children held by fathers trying to hide their tears. In a violent society we should not wonder how and why there are children who are violent. In a society where bullies are unmasked and seek to annihilate those they believe are a hindrance by their definition, we delude ourselves when we wonder how their children are also bullies.
Bullyism is not only a Guyanese problem. It is a global manifestation of mankind’s permanent injury of trying to prove that one is better than the other; of the conquest of those deemed weaker; of all lives not mattering and of those most insecure about their place and value on this Earth seeking to suppress the greatness they see in others.
