T hat old man who works in your garden or keeps your home neat and tidy is a loving dad to his kids and a husband to his wife.
And that woman who works at the shop where you go to buy your things does her job to keep hunger away from herself and her kids and she just loves her job.
The young man who fills up your vehicle at the garage is important because of the job he does. Without him, the chain would be incomplete. The security personnel at your workplaces who guard your vehicle also have an important role to play.
That street cleaner who comes after you choose to throw your garbage on to the street keeps the same street clean and he is just as important.
In life, we all are important.
Our roles may not be equal or the same, but we all do something for the economy and this keeps the country going.
We all deserve respect because after all, we all are human.
We all need each other in this life.
Do unto others what you’d like others to do unto you. Don’t become untouchable because you occupy a big position in your company or you have this or that in life.
Godfrey Malibe, Acornhoek
