The Deputy Chief Investigator at the Tema Sub-Regional Office of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), John Ato Breboh, has cautioned against the devastating consequences of unchecked disappointment.
In an interview with Nana Asabea on Plan B FM’s social and lifestyle programme, ‘Nyansapɔ Fie,’ Breboh underscored the potential for disappointment to breed negative actions, including emotional reactions that escalate into violent crimes such as verbal and physical assaults, battery, domestic violence, and murder. He emphasised the importance of effective disappointment management.
Breboh noted that unmanaged disappointment can also lead to destructive behaviour, such as property vandalism. He questioned which government might be feeling disappointed, given that supporters of one government are engaging in vandalism.
Breboh reminded listeners that such actions, including burglary and arson, are punishable under the criminal code.
In conclusion, the warning issued by CHRAJ’s Deputy Chief Investigator, John Ato Breboh, highlights the critical need for effective disappointment management to prevent destructive behaviour and violent crimes. By acknowledging the devastating consequences of unchecked disappointment, individuals, governments, and communities can work together to promote emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and human rights, ultimately fostering a safer and more harmonious society.
