COMMUNITY

It is amazing how we Batswana have lost a sense of this in the most simplest of ways. I've seen this happen before- even I am guilty of having done it- which is not doing anything even when you can clearly see that the next person needs your help. A classic example is moving when the person in front of you falls, for whatever reason. Why not provide support for that person so they don't have to hit the ground so hard. I personally have moved and I felt so guilty afterwards. I can't even justify why I moved. Another example is when you see someone being swindled, robbed or being attacked by a bunch of low life hooligans. Why can't all of us right minded, rational people help that person. Its in very rare occasions that someone will help. The majority of the time we straighten our clothes and feign blindness to what's happening- all the while um sure thinking its none of our business. Of which this is bullshit because us not stopping or helping to stop such acts is just perpetuating the fools who think they can live off terrorising other people. When have masses ever failed in achieving results, we need to start being proactive in making our surroundings safe because if it can happen to someone else in an environment you frequent, what makes you think it will not happen to you too. Stand up and let's help to fight crime and let's promote solidarity. Being human is the only connecting thing we have and need as an excuse to help each other.
