Defining Times

Just read Mondays newspaper article on Reverend Kemo Waters  racist tweet to Hellen Zille that “all white people should be killed” and i am so disgusted that a man of the Cloth could be such a bigot and blame an entire race for how he is treated in a Cape Town Restaurant.

I don’t know why the restaurant had him waiting 30 minutes at the bar for an available table; maybe they were full, maybe people booked in advance and who knows maybe the restaurant person who helped them was racist but we can’t blame the actions of a few for the eradication of the masses.  

How many of you haven’t waited awhile to be served at a busy restaurant in any given province, i sure have but i haven’t blamed that on the colour of my skin.

Where was Reverend Kemo Waters Christian merit when he wrote that tweet and all the others that followed, where was his God likeliness when he turned to hate speech and dubbed himself the “messiah of truth”.

Interesting times when religious leaders are denied access to our shores and those who preach forgiveness, love and honour within it chooses to teach politics over the Bible. 

Life is about Chance

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will at some point.

That we will have our hearts broken and will sometimes break the hearts of others. That we may fight with our best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and at some age or stage we will all cry for time wasted or lost.

So do yourself a favor and take many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt before.

Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances and you just have to live life to the fullest.

Tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off if you have been wishing to do so for years. Speak out, dance in the pouring rain like no one is watching. 

Hold someone's hand, take time to comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts.

Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.
