The Editor, Sir:
It is ironic, but not surprising that the Rev. Hero Blair came out the loser in yesterday's scenario of Blair versus Holness in the West Central St. Andrew political saga.
Rev. Blair who often preaches forgiveness, was unforgiving, when young Holness returned with the symbolic olive branch or the hand of peace. Rev. Blair lost a golden opportunity to demonstrate forgiveness to the people whom he was supposed to be showing how to forgive and live.
Instead he showed arrogance by his utterance and attitude, in refusing to take the hand of peace and consequently young Holness had to walk away like king Jeroboam of the Bible who had a case of withered hand. The bible tells us to forgive seventy times seven. What Herro Blair the Political Ombudsman should have said was "son I forgive you, I will not only give you my hand but I will give you my heart" and then hug Mr Holness who is a young man of good repute as far as I understand.
I am, etc.,
