Boy did I have a change in attitude when we neared Kuils River station. Apparently 2 people were run over close to the station. Typically the reports I heard was confusing (2 men, a man and a woman, a mother and child) - so I can't say exactly. But my heart goes out to them, whoever they may have been - a loved one, a friend, a companion, a mother, a father, a parent, a child... It really affected me.
Which got me wondering... Why do we JUMP TO OUR OWN CONCLUSIONS?
Especially if we don't have all the facts? Its a case of immediately responding to something that's affecting me somehow, but not taking into account all the evidence. I was quick to say: #METROFAIL! But after some time and coming across the accident it was clear it was not Metrorails fault... due to an unforeseen accident.
Question is: Can we change? Can we just for once set aside our personal needs and look at the bigger picture. It isn't easy... but let's be fair... should it?
