“You can have all the riches and success in the world, but if you don’t have your health, you have nothing. [Steven Adler]. Spoiler Alert – WHO on the rack.
Well, the men's college team from NC State Wolfpack who have made it to the college baseball world series lost in extra innings to this year's "darling team" from Kentucky....and I sort of had a feeling it would go down this way - cause everybody loves a darling I reckon...and not to get "off-track" and lose perspective of more important matters but I find it ironic the same baseball team got to the college worlds series in '21, but then they had to forfeit the game cause of "covid protocols"....it was unfair and wrong.
If there is anything I could say to the folks in South Africa, I would say this - you all know as well as the rest of us that sometimes things just ain't fair - but you have been through the school of hard knocks first-hand so maybe the opportunity for better outcome awaits you - maybe your suffering will lead to better times for many collectively - seems as though the time for better leadership is upon the country you reside in P&S - but compare that with the country you departed - so old in the tooth and stuck in ways proven wrong and known to be as such - but stuck there.....well....I'd rather be in South Africa.

Any wolfpack knows - most hunts you end up hungry - but eventually the wolfpack ALWAYS gets the prey - if not, then tell me why wolfs remain today - and they are top notch predators who work together as a unit focused and who have an important role to play....

I'd rather be wolf than a sheep in need of a shepherd to survive - hell I'd rather be a goat than a sheep, I'd rather be a razorback pig - but I think I'm a wolf and I think the Wolfpack is on the hunt! There is prey to be found. At least goats and razorback pigs know how to defend themselves - sheeps on the other hand - they just get taken advantage of it seems.
This is amazingly beautiful, Ken and thank you for your wonderful wisdom. I will post your uplifting message to my SA readers in my next Letter on July 13, with your permission, and link your Substack to garner more readers of like mind for you and our mutual vision of survival?
I love the wolfpack analogy which is a living example of cooperation rather than competition (the western way). This is why I respect the Chinese approach.
Wow - you got your fingers on the pulse of South Africa - and the "players" there amongst each other.
This is tremendous unbiased best I can tell reporting on the situation there - and I think it matters.
Thanks for all you do and on a personal note:
Go Wolfpack!
Ken
Many thanks Ken - yes indeed a great cry "Go Wolfpack"!
Blessings

Of course - that would be fine. What I share I share freely. Thankyou and yes - please do if inclined.
I just posted a new article today regarding tile work. I get a lot of pleasure placing tiles and learning along the way.
Warmly to you,
Ken
And warmly back, dear Ken!
