Covid-19 lockdown allows us to realise what is really important in life

We’re not allowed to meet our friends at the corner café for coffee and a chat, so we’re gathering round our keyboards and keeping in touch electronically. We may not be chatting face to face, but we’re communicating like never before.

Instead I’m noticing an amazing wave of selflessness and generosity. Billionaires are donating huge sums of money to help those in trouble. Political leaders are offering to reduce their incomes to help the poor. Facebook is full of messages of hope and generosity. Many are saying they realise how little they need and how easy it is to help those less fortunate than ourselves.

On the positive side, the streets are safer, the air is cleaner, Eskom manages to keep the electricity on, and there’s plenty of parking available at the shopping centre.

Cigarettes and booze!

No, that is not true. What is important in people's lives is their freedom, to buy what they want to, to be able to work and earn a living and to socialize with friends and family and that was taken away from the by draconian regulations made for them by inept governments!

I'm realizing the extent to which people can get to be billionaires.

for whom, the stealing government looters, where they haven't looted before
