Lockington's Everyday Fiji ... Life Goes On

Allen Lockington is a self-employed customs agent and business consultant who has regular articles published in Fiji. I thank Allen for permission to reprint some of them in this political blog. They remind us that life goes on, whatever the political situation. And it's good to know that.

Shocking Accident

The story of the class-seven boy who accidentally strangled himself with a belt is shocking. More shocking is the fact that there are other incidents when young boys have accidentally strangled themselves while playing with their belts. What is even more shocking is why and how they used what happened in a move to do what they did.

We need to tell the public that it could be  Autoerotic Strangulation.  Its something that is depicted in the movies and I am still in shock from reading the article. We teach our kids all the best and how they should look after themselves physically, morally, mentally and religiously, yet the ills of man still find their way into our lives and a life is lost.

We need to reexamine the family unit, the very core of what a good nation is built on. Morality is slowly waning in our much adopted western lives, we need to put things back in place, if not more unspeakable things will happen.
