CUTTING OFF THE HEAD TO CURE HEADACHE

There is a code of conduct for every society. Every human being that exists is expected to work within the scope of the rules set by the society. It could however be very disheartening for anyone to make an anomaly of the norm. Although some people have opined that rules are only made to be broken, certain rules in the society should not be broken.
This is not to be a class where morals are to be taught. It is only aimed at making it clear that, if one is wrong in any issue, one should be able to own up for what one has done. Last week, SOCIOSCOPE published news about a particular person that was ‘sexually harassed.’ The news was gotten from very reliable sources after which it was confirmed by the correspondent that carried it. However, maybe in the pang of the guilt and shame, the person whom the story is about came to this board to tear the news. Of course, by her actions, she tried to cover up the truth. However, such people forget that for anyone to attain success, the truth most be owned up to.
Why break a norm, when you are not ready for the repercussions? It is unfathomable why such uncultured people would rather advertise their dirty linens in the public in the first place. By tearing the news from the board, the person in question has further made it public how uncouth she is. It is time one advised her and other people like her to remember that cutting off the head is not the solution to headache. Today will always speak of yesterday.
