High Walls
28/03/2013 16:10
When we see someone approaching our car windows, we roll them up. In the evenings when we go to bed, we bolt our doors from top to bottom. We install alarm systems and panic buttons in every nook and cranny of our humble abodes, and build extra-extra high security gates with spikes on top,...
School Rules For Fools
25/03/2013 11:23
When I was in high school, there were many things I did not agree with – certain rules that I thought were too much to ask, too much to expect - things that were just plain unfair. For the entire duration of my high school career, “grown-ups” told me that one day, when I am all grown up, I will...
Insured...Or Unsure?

Amongst the many debit orders that send us into bankruptcy on a monthly basis, is medical aid (or health insurance). The amount each of us pays depends on who we can afford to give all our hard-earned money to on a golden platter 12 times a year, ranging from the bottom of the bottom, all...

Money. The center of all happiness. The one thing that people want more than anything in the world. The “root of evil”. The cause of relationships, breakups, life, death, happiness and depression.

Upon randomly observing the interior of my car this morning, I took note that my vehicle has the capability of reaching speeds of up to 220km/h. 220. And, naturally, more expensive cars can go even faster. The highest speed we are allowed to hit in South Africa is 120km/h, yet my car can go 100...

Call it whatever you want – but I think everyone is on the same page.

As we have known for a while now, Pope Benedict XVI has resigned. Resigned. From being Pope. Those words just sound very strange put in a sentence, don’t you think?
