In this struggle, I see two schools of thought: 1. Those who want Jammeh to go by any means necessary and that he alone is the problem. And to them, getting rid of him will make our roses red and our violets blue again. 2. Those who want a better Gambia and society and want Jammeh to go, but also think that a change of attitude is highly necessary. Among those who are visible and vocal, the former is larger than the latter.
If you are part of the first group, you are sowing seeds of weeds and telling yourself that it's roses. And if you are in the second group, you want our roses to be red and violets blue again.
The param param, naw tak ak saganteh will not change our situation, but a change of attitude will. Our attitude determines how we treat each other, what we value, how we handle ourselves, and how we handle what we are entrusted with.
If we don't shake our present attitude off soon, the "Mary-go-round" will never stop and our dizziness will persist!
