Looshans got LOVE!

THE EDITOR,
Please allow me some space in your newspaper to express some thoughts. Wow! It is really surprising to see so much love in St. Lucia, regardless of the “always fighting each other down” syndrome, like crabs in a barrel. I say this, through personal experiences. Before going any further, I do sincerely wish to thank ALL St. Lucians who contributed to the fund raising venture to assist me in my being able to materialize the financing for my continued medical treatment in Cuba last year. First and foremost, to Mr. Andre Paul, Mr. Dennis Dabreo of TCT Television and all the persons who called in on the programme to pledge no matter how little. Looshans got love? Surely. I was astonished, as I began to feel better and walk the streets, how so many people greeted me, hugged me, kissed me (on the cheek, of course), shook my hands, smiled and showed positive interest in my well being. Some of the persons I never even spoke to in my life and only greeted by way of a head nod or a shortened hello, while some others, just mere acquaintances. They all showed some sense of concern. Love does exist. So it begs the question, why the hell are we fighting each other for? Wake up St. Lucians, we are surrounded by plenty of love. Let us share it!
