We should fight for what we believe in but do so in a manner that doesn’t infringe on the human rights of others– that’s what I learned today 🙁

It’s 8 :  30 PM on day 541 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth,   work – in between work I  prepared and published my Disability of the Day feature –   drink tea by myself, feed myself garlic bread for breakfast, work some more,  exercise, feed myself rice and curry for lunch,  continue working, watch TV, feed myself mango for dinner and brush my teeth once more.

Today Cosatu – South Africa’s largest trade union – called on all its members to down tools in protest against labor brokers and e-tolling – the government wants us to pay an exorbitant amount to use the roads – and most obliged which made the protest a huge “success” most schools were closed and the economy lost millions after today I realize that sometimes success can be failure in disguise and vise-versa. Do you fight for what you believe in infringing on the human rights of others in the process?
