2009 revealed some incredible things to the ordinary person. It was a startling year jam packed with scandal, drama and some serious historical events. A blog is just too short to list all of them, so excuse the number of links here. Hope you enjoy.
We learnt that…
Nothing is impossible.
Nobody is predictable.
Nobody is immortal.
Compassion should be more important than greed.
It’s good to have friends.
Karma does catch up.
It’s not good to celebrate the suffering of others.
Not all cases can be presented equally before the law.
Together we can make a difference.
Honesty is the best policy.
Sometimes it is best to stop flogging a dead horse.
Hope is worth holding on to, but is easily dampened.
The little guys do count.
Denial is powerful.
Change can happen, and is often led by ordinary fools.
Newer is not always better.
And finally, the future can hold great things.
Not all lessons are easy to learn, but some of them are important to learn. Hope 2010 is a great year for all TL readers.
Fabulous Article !
I think that one – it’s good to have friends…
should read: CRIME PAYS
Jennifer you forgot two inportant ones.
1) Crime Pays
2) Lying and cheating is OK for politicians.
such a clever idea, welldone jen!
Great philosophical stuff.
What about all the negativity that still manifests without any change. Perhaps there is a different set of rules for our politicians. Positive change will only come about when we weed out fraud, corruption, greed, mismanagement and the feeling of entitlement so prevalent in our rainbow nation shrouded by black clouds.
