Is it right to inflict injury in an attempt to offer immediate remedy, or punishment for a situation that has not been properly investigated, thoroughly researched or evidence provided to prove that the person is certainly guilty of the alleged offence. All too easily in Jamaica there has been a habit of branding people too easily with labels, "Tief", "Bitch" or "Maduman' or "Madman!" And then the public reacts, often in a violent or aggressive manner, but is it a good idea to beat a person, especially on the head who is possibly, or in actual fact suffering from a mental problem or brain deficiency of some sort, is that not an illogical and inappropriate mental response to the issue in itself?
Furthermore is it possible to retract such punishment or humiliation once the acts are performed can they be taken back? Can a persons reputation be easily restored once damaged, once words are said can they be erased from persons memory? Once a stigma has been attached to a persons reputation can that be easily removed from the popular opinions of the public that are often more true to most that socialize and commune with their peers, than the actual facts.
These questions need to be asked by persons before they allow their opinions to become the only foundation for their actions. REVENGE IS A DISH BEST SERVED COLD! This expression is so true as some things take time to marinate and to reveal their true nature...
Furthermore if it is said a person is not of sound mind.. or mad or crazy by a person who perhaps dislikes them for whatever reasons. Would this not need to be proven by a medical evaluation and presented in a court. Anyone who perpetuates the opinions of a malicious person, whose opinions are not proven to be fact but rather are merely an attempt to sabotage, are aiding the spreading of liable information and the defaming of that persons character. Let us all be forewarned to be careful what we say... if it cannot be proven, if its not helpful, if its not for the greater good does it help to say it at all?!
