A comment which made my yesterday
Someone left this comment at my post on Dr. Yeo Sze Ling yesterday and it made my day :-)
Always it is the little things we common folks share that makes life wonderful. Indeed Mother Teresa was right again and again about doing small things with great love rather than doing great enterprises. The big issues always invite feedback and frequently criticisms as narrow interests try to shape matters to their advantage but they always give a good and partially true story why it is good for us. It is always for the benefit of business or help a party strengthen their hold on power. If it also benefited us, well and good but always the party's interests come first even if there are many times people welfare and the party's interests are synonymous. However as the world change and we become more fragmented and diversified such happy coincidence will become increasingly rare.
The WP makes plenty of hay pointing out how the other side put their interests ahead of the people isn't it?
Too many pastors consumed by big ambitions cannot be trusted, political leaders are slowly losing their moral grip and the courts are good only as backstops. We must do better.
