Letter to the editor: gaslighting by candlelight

institutions have their flaws. But just like people, how they deal with their flaws is inherently more important than the problematic behaviour itself.

But they are not alone. Recently, after a much-needed reprieve from load shedding, several commentators have swooped in for cheap views by proclaiming that “we should be thankful that we have not had load shedding”, even if the problem still lurks in the background. If the wave of mental health promotion has taught us anything, it’s that we should not let others dictate to us how we should feel. Being told to be grateful for something that should not be in question is akin to expecting someone to be thankful for the fact that they are not currently being punched in the face.
