So all these events linked to last night...so here I was at home with my family and my next door neighbors have been renovating or something, but they don't do it the old fashioned way like everybody else...NO, they do it while basically screaming and not talking to each other over loud and annoying music whilst making a hell of a noise renovating with banging and clanking and smashing. All of this from some time during the day until 3am...this is the problem with this country and I'm sure every South African will know exactly what I am talking about and will have their own set of stories and I wish that this was the only story that I had to tell but sadly it is not. I am not saying that SA is all bad, there are many things that I love about SA but for me, if the people are wrong in a country then that is enough to outweigh the good!
I could deal with all the problems that South Africa has, and boy does it have a lot of problems, but I could deal with all of these, what I can't deal with is the inconsideration that people have for one another! It's disgusting actually! Everyone just out for themselves, not a care about how their actions will affect the next person, just selfishly going about their lives. And believe me I am not perfect but above all I do try and consider how my actions could affect another person!
Here are some more examples just from my catalog of experiences
- People crossing the road without a pedestrian crossing, getting knocked by a car and then the driver goes to jail ( I have honestly seen this a couple of times, young people Ages 8-13, dancing in the street, taunting the cars, making the cars swerve around them, basically just being cocky because they know that the cars won't actually hit them)
- Taxis creating themselves their own lane from the emergency lane
- People in shopping centers standing in the middle of a walk way and not being considerate of people wanting to pass
- Cars & taxis pulling over wherever they like and interrupting other cars in the lane
These are really just a few examples that I can think of off the top of my head, believe me this is just skimming the surface, if you are South African and are feeling this post, comment below, let me know what things irritate you about SA, or if not let me know what you love about SA and how this tops everything else for you?
My idea of the perfect world could be summed up in these 3 words THE VENUS PROJECT!!!
if you would like to understand better what I'm talking about here...go check it out, it is the perfect world and it is achievable, I think it just takes change within ourselves, a selfless society and the world would be perfect
