#Theweekthatwas @ 29/12/2024
The last full week of the year was full of lessons:
Facts cannot be argued; opinions are another story altogether
Complacency is the enemy of success
When you bring together desire, skill and determination, magic happens
At best, our biases may cause insult, at worst, they can lead to us forgoing our humanity completely #kamaladwan
Following the crowd may seem like the sensible thing to do unless they're chasing shadows
When we try to give our kids everything "we didn't have growing up", we take away the opportunity for them to appreciate struggle
If not kept in check, our extravagance and consumerism can result in the season's festivities turning into grief
We accept that racism and sexism are wrong because they infer superiority over others and yet we tend to accept nationalism without a thought
If, as parents, we openly practice favouritism, we risk causing lifelong, and possibly intergenerational, issues
Generosity is a beautiful thing when met with gratitude, and a form of hindrance when met with greed
Sport is supposed to be relaxing to watch but can sometimes be the complete opposite #Proteas #WTC
