BETTY KAMYA DOESNOT NEED A PUSH BUT UNDERSTANDING AND HELP


Regarding angry-some rebuts of Betty Kamya’s seemingly terror article, responses made were a result of baseless fears and lack of helping touch. As a contribution towards the fracas I would say, an individual opinion cannot be interpreted as generally justifiable and applicable in the right and social-wellness sense. What would be wrong with people saying what the have to say and what they think?

Let people express all they can. It would be their view. If touched, anyway then, they should go right way to express themselves as have those caught in statements of terror. It is healthy scenarios to respect and consider rather than generate fuss and conflicts. If that was the case, who would be in charge of masterminding peace and social harmony noting that anyone could be a victim?

And how would man sustain himself and other members of the eco-system if he or she were to fail first in the management role? One aspect we must honor and continuously tolerate are differences in human beings as well as natural bio-diversities –that help to sustain humanity. These are what would make the world interesting -with the fact being that we can naturally, spiritually, and culturally different.

And strangeness of what surrounds us, as a motivation to think and act otherwise or to better status quo. Others could therefore, potentially help us come up with better living standards and conditions to get furthered into the predictably better future.

But in all, always the right appeals overtake and overpower the wrongs. But we should never deny a chance for both happening and people expressing them-selves out as much as they can. Betty is not different. It could have been political depression through or frustrations and leading to such things as political “vomits” from her. Well such “vomits” could so wild that they might cause fearful reactions.

But if the reactions in turn tend towards positive change or appeal, the “vomits” too would be deactivated and the victim helped to recover and be as good as those for good, peaceful co-existence and harmony. Would it be bad for one to vomit? I would say a big NO because It could nothing else but healthy, and something that would be encouraged.

And in any case, Betty could have represented herself (due to personal and past emotional injury as well as recently occurred misfits), her immediate intimates and their grievances rather than FDC-political party, me and /or anybody. Instead it her reactions would be taken as symptoms of the sick that she needed help.

If similar vomits were used against her, it would only worsen individual health as if helping to destroy her. Unfortunately, these are a kind of statements that came from a high figure in the name of Betty. So under such circumstances, she would be expected to have advisors to help guide her in decision making.

And to understand her she had to be separated from her social position and looked at as an individual as well as the good and bad of her statements from the general right expectations. These needed to be critically examined.

All in all, the views seen on Ugandans at heart Google-groups forum members were not appalling as some members think. In future member would need to nurture care and help individuals like Betty since like any human being, she could have had weaknesses or emotional problems that drove past her.
