There are better things to do

Dear Editor,

It has come to my attention that the Government of Jamaica has tabled a bill to decriminalise the practice of obeah on Jamaican soil, while we are plagued by the more significant issues like violence against our children and the precipice that our economy is on the edge of.

The aforementioned situations are of more importance and value to the country and society that we have to live in, but what message do they choose to send to the younger generation?

They try to find every way possible not to address the matters that affect the lives of the Jamaican people, and we always seem to be okay with that. When do we realise that the quicker we take the time to address the problems that we have to face, the quicker we will make progress in making them disappear?

As a nation we have failed to stand up in togetherness, failed in putting up a united effort to make Jamaica the place to work, live and play ... all of this because we always tend to put things on the back burner, but my question to the Jamaican people, still remains: When will the back burners become full?
