What a week. I have been very busy, and decided that I must do at least another one. What is the purpose of a blog if you do not update it as often as possible.
I experienced a paranoia attack this morning. When I left home, a guy was sitting in front of my house. I phoned my daughter to warn her, but she did not answer her phone. I phoned her friend (who was sleeping over), and her phone was on voice mail. I phoned the house, they did not answer. I phoned each number about three times, but to no avail. At last, I phoned CPS Security just to go and have a look if everything was all right. Well, they were still sleeping. Mom was worried for no reason at all.
The reason why I acted the way I did was because a friend of my future son-in-law was killed two days ago. It was a cold blooded murder. I do not care if people say they had a reason for doing so (especially in certain cultures), it is wrong. You are not allowed to take a life. The Bible says that if you take a life, you must pay with your life. I think that is the big problem in our country. People kill other people and then they get booked into a "guesthouse" (jail), at the taxpayers expense. The system is wrong. As long as they get fivestar treatment, they will keep up their "good" work (crime rate will increase).
Do I sound bitter? Yes, I am. The guy who got killed (his family was in the house), was the father of three children. Imagine the emotional distress in that house. I think, apart from murder, they must prosecute the killers for emotional murder too. That family will never be the same.
The question I ask myself, why is our crime rate that high? Is it because of the economical situation? People who do work suffer financially. What about the millions on the street who cannot find a job? It is easy for the government to say you must start your own business. How do you start something without money?? They do give loans (if you are in the right group), but the other's must do it on their own.
They say that the white people must not go overseas. They have the same right as the others' in South Africa. Well, I believed that. I believed that I fell in the "previously disadvantaged group". The problem is: I am white!!! I got a National Diploma in HR Management. I received a certificate for the best sudent of all the Diploma Students. At my age, it was a wonderful experience. I was so charged up and full of hope. I applied for different jobs in HR, and even applied 5 times at one place (from learnership to HR assistant). I never heard anything from one of my applications. My son-in-law is dealing with the one company (where I applied 5 times), just to find out: "If I see an application, and it is a white person, I throw it out. I have a lot of black people working here, and that is the reason why I need a black person". Is that right, legal? I doubt it.
I wanted to start my own business, and looked into various options. My husband and family did not even want me to try. Why are we so scared and afraid. Why can't we just believe that somebody have the potential to do something? The one option was a funeral service (not the funeral itself, but all the extra's). Everybody said no from day 1. You know what, since that time, 3 new ones opened and everybody is making their money.
You know, when everybody is telling you that you are going to be a failure, you believe that. I know that I have the potential to start my own business and make a success of it. What keeps me backing out everytime. I will tell you: I started to believe all the negative remarks about me wanting to do my own thing. I started to believe that I am going to fail.
In the meantime, everybody is just surviving and not living. We survive day by day. We do not enjoy life anymore. Everything is too much for everybody. Nobody have the will to fight for their rights. We are acting like people who were brainwashed. Did I explained that this is our average person in this wonderful country of ours. The people who are positive and motivated looks like a coloured crayon next to that person.
People will say, how can we be positive under this circumstances? Easy! Give your problems to God. He will help you, and because you are human, you will have negative thoughts and moments (like me when I started this blog today), but HE WILL help you. You must just believe in Him. Do not listen to what the devil tells you. He is brainwashing you to be a negative and unmotivated person. That is what he is doing best. Ruining people's lives.
Just remember, we do have a wonderful country. We are privilege with all the freedom that we have. We can read our Bibles, without fear of being caught.
