When i was in government, the south african economy was growing at 4.5% - 5%. but then came the global financial crisis of 2008/2009, and so the global economy shrunk. that hit south africa very hard, because then the export markets shrunk, and that includes china, which has become one of the main trade partners with south africa. also, the slowdown in the chinese economy affected south africa. the result was that during that whole period, south africa lost something like a million jobs because of external factors.

Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, the feet turned towards the right; north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south-south-west; then paused, and after a few seconds, turned as unhurriedly back towards the left. south-south-west, south, south-east, east.

We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. rights are grand things, divine things in this world of god's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. i can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.

When attachment arises in the place of love, it sees the other as separate; it grasps and needs. attachment is conditional; it seeks control and it fear loss. ask your heart if attachment has replaced love. if we speak to our heart, it will always tell us the truth.

I don't doubt that every prince would like to be both; but since it is hard to accomodate these qualities, if you have to make a choice, to be feared is much safer than to be loved. for it is a good general rule about men, that they are ungrateful, fickle, liars, and deceivers, fearful of danger and greedy for gain....[love] is a link of obligation which men, because they are rotten, will break anything they think doing so serves their advantage; but fear involves dread of punishment, from which they can never escape.
Liars Love Is Men
