May I suggest another miracle!? I like the idea of talking about miracles, but not in a religious sense, in the sense that our tautological thinking is limited to not see that something becomes quite possible under circumstances that don’t seem self evident to us.
The beauty of engaging in systems thinking is to accept that at a certain level of complexity we cannot predict the outcome, and that a gut feel situation is the closest you will get to an anticipate outcome.
So when a miracle happens we are caught by surprise!
Does this make sense to you?

Yes Thomas i think its all very precarious but I do agree that the average citizen is wanting peace, stability and harmony and is willing to play their part to achieve this. Its the politicians we need to call to order now – and get rid of where necessary. It is unacceptable that we tolerate this level of brazen corruption…All that said – we will prevail. Just not shore i see how right now! 🙂

I do sense a movement away from the disaster that we have inherited through the unbridled self-interest and greed of, amongst others, state capture and very powerful business leaders.
The rebuilding of our state institutions that hold the executive accountable will, and must take time. It seems like we as citizens want to see things fixed overnight in the very same way that they got destroyed. Building something has always taken longer.
I also have no doubt that the average citizen, rank and file, has every intention of working harmoniously together regardless of background. I see this happening every day in my world.The miracle that we need to wish for is that our political parties embrace this mindset in their manifestos so that we can vote for a better future.

Miracles around me is rising my faith more and more everyday. That is why I firmly believe LOVE NEVER FAILS! If we put on the glasses of love we see the vision of everything already perfect as it is destined to be. Then it is easy to love. Love changes hearts. A miracle on its own: the miracle of how hearts of stones become hearts of flesh again. I am a living testimony of a changed heart and I am in love with my country’s people. OUR LOVING NATION WILL NEVER FAIL. ❤️
