Some people hold the view that to hold any one is to mold the person. When one holds someone, the holder feels that the person being held can be molded into any way. The holder usually molds the person being held from a good creature to a bad creature.

The person being held is a bad creature because the person being held works for self rather that for the other self. The person being held is selfish rather than selfless. The person being held usually money-driven. The person being held is usually bad rather than good.
No wonder the people of Liberia hold the view that Liberia is headed in the wrong direction (Afrobarometer, 2022). The direction is wrong because it is poverty generating rather than poverty alleviating, especially when poverty has become the pretext for violence.
No wonder the people of Liberia are saying no to violence. This saying is seen at Fish Market, Monrovia, where the women are saying: No More War! We Want Peace! The women are calling for action against violence because violence opposes Peace.
The best and only way to change from the bad prevailing system of injustice to the good enduring system of Justice is to get persons with good records elected. This is happening as seen in the results of the Election in Liberia of October 18, 2023. It is only through the election of persons with good records that such persons are getting elected in Liberia to bring in the system of Justice, the indispensable ingredient of Peace and Progress in Liberia and in any other country.
