People face difficulties in many parts of the world, but since all seven billion of us live on this one planet we should be united and stand in solidarity with each other. When this blue planet is viewed from space, there are no national boundaries to be seen.
Irrespective of whether we have faith in religion or not, it’s good to be more compassionate. It makes us happier as individuals with a positive influence on our families and the neighborhood where we live.
I think we need to accept there's no "re-opening" so we can "get back to normal". The thousands of people we've let die will haunt us and we won't be able to turn away from the accelerating destruction of our planet. It's time to design a new society because this one is done for.
If he uplifts the lockdown, we will blame him for the lives lost. If he extends the lockdown,we will blame him for the economy that has fallen into the pits. If he becomes lenient with the lockdown, we will accuse him of unfairness. If he uplifts the ban on alcohol etc.
"My fellow South Africans.
You know how when your mom insists you call her, so you call her, but don't really have anything to say? But calling her buys you a few days of not having to hear how you never call her? That.
May God bless South Africa and her people.
I thank you."
If you’re so disappointed with Cyril, you go stand up in front of millions of people after months of uncertainty during an unprecedented time and do it better. Go on. Give a solution that benefits everyone. Go on.
Fuck, I’m SO damn over the “Obviously I know better” brigade.
As Winston Churchill was working to form the United Nations after WWII, he famously said, “Never let a good crisis go to waste”. South Africans let’s wake up. Use this crisis to help unite this country of two nations in one. It is just the beginning....
Such humility...@CyrilRamaphosa admitting that the lockdown has not been perfect. That some rules & regulations were not clear. That mistakes were made. I see no scandal here. Just a humble & reasonable concession. These are unprecedented times. We are in the unknown
The very purpose of spirituality is self-discipline. Rather than criticizing others, we should evaluate and criticize ourselves. Ask yourself, what am I doing about my anger, my attachment, my pride, my jealousy? These are the things we should check in our day to day lives.
Time is always moving on; nothing can stop it. We can't change the past, but we can learn from it to shape the future. Stress on ‘us’ and ‘them’ is a source of conflict. We neglect basic human qualities of kindness and compassion. Let’s work together to create a happier future.
@DalaiLama Habits That'll Pay Off Forever:
▪ Self awareness.
▪ Positive self-talk.
▪ Constant learning.
▪ Understanding people.
▪ Living in the present.
▪ Not worrying about future.
▪ Not regretting the past.
▪ Not making fun of yourself.
▪ Believing in yourself.
It’s not enough to pray for peace of mind, we have to examine what’s disturbing us and eliminate it. In the same way, just wishing to be well won’t cure physical illness; you have to adopt the preventive measures and take the prescribed medicine.

We are doing this for the next generation - we hope to have smaller bonds and greater heritage at the end of it.
