EDITORIAL: Let’s be kind
The Christmas trees are already up and holidays are on the horizon, and many of you have started planning your trips towards your holiday destinations.
Much has been written in the past about attitudes on our roads, but it’s that time of the year again when the right attitude and a bit of patience can ensure that you and your loved ones arrive alive and in high spirits.
It costs nothing to be courteous and kind to each other on the road, and of course also while we are ferrying our precious family cargo to beaches, events and other festivities this season.
Yes, 2023 has not been an easy year, but there is much to be grateful for. We can show this gratitude by simply being kind to each other during this time of family, fun and festiveness.
Let's put anger and overreaction on the backburner! Let’s show that true Namibian spirit of compassion and consciously make an effort to show that we can unwind and relax without creating stressful situations around us. In the end, this time of the year is all about spreading cheer and happiness. Let’s not hurt those nearest and dearest to us. Let’s not be the purveyors of violence. Let’s treat our partners with the necessary respect. Revelry should never end in confrontation and violence. Most importantly, let’s protect the most vulnerable in our midst - especially women, children and the elderly.
