Soms, net mooi wanneer \u2019n mens nou al tot kokens toe sat is vir al die negatiewe goed wat jy lees of waarvan jy hoor, gebeur iets wat soos \u2019n vars briesie deur jou gemoed kom waai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ons vergeet soms \u2019n mens se brein werk nes die van \u2019n rekenaar: Garbage in, garbage out. Voer jy gedurig jou brein met die negatiewe goed soos verkragting, moord, korrupsie en dieremishandeling, is die resultaat \u2019n donker gemoed. Dan wil \u2019n mens jou kop in die sand steek en s\u00ea laat gods water nou maar oor gods akker loop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die ongeluk is ons is al so gewoond aan al hierdie slegte goed wat mense laat gebeur, dat \u2019n mens skoon afgestomp raak. Blaai jy deur \u2018n nuusblad met opskrifte soos \u201cPa verkrag meisie (10)\u201d, \u201cDokter het vrou vermoor, s\u00ea hof\u201d, \u201cMiljoene verdwyn by Eskom\u201d en \u201cHondegevegte neem toe, s\u00ea DBV\u201d, dan dink jy onwillekeurig, ag wat, alweer nog \u2019n verkragting, alweer nog \u2019n moord, nog korrupsie, nog dieremishandeling, blaai maar verby. Dis tog al so afgesaag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soveel so dat \u2019n mens wonder of dit hoegenaamd nog nuus is. Redakteurs sou, as hulle wou, hele nuusblaaie net met misdaadnuus kon vul. Maar wie gaan dan die koerante koop of lees? Vergewe my maar, maar al wat nog my aandag trek, is berigte oor dieremishandeling of die mishandeling van bejaardes. Maar dis ek, ander mense lees dit nie eens nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar hoor nou net hierdie twee pragtige verhale: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drie seuntjies van onderskeidelik 9, 10 en 11 jaar stap in die straat. Die seun van 11 het sopas \u2019n babahondjie present gekry. Hulle stap kafee toe en die verkeer is druk. Die hondjie besluit om die straat oor te steek en hardloop onder \u2019n motor in. Hy is erg beseer. Wat nou? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die kinders besef hulle moet nou dringend die hond by \u2019n veearts kry, maar hoe weet hulle nie. Hulle weet wel hy lewe nog. Hulle sien doer l\u00ea \u2019n ou babastoeltjie wat vir \u2019n motor bedoel is en laai die hond daarin. Nou skuifel-skuifel hulle maar so teen \u2019n kreeftegang aan na die DBV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle sit later die stoeltjie met die hond neer. Dis warm, dis ver en hulle is dors. N\u00e1 2 km kom hulle by die DBV, wat dadelik die hondjie ondersoek en behandel. Die hondjie word geopereer, maar sal oorleef. Toe eers bars die seuntjie van 11 jaar in trane uit. Sy vol gemoed kon net nie meer die skok onderdruk nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In \u2019n ander geval wen \u2019n seun \u2019n bietjie geld in \u2019n kompetisie. Maar hy weet sy maatjie het nie skoolskoene nie en hy sien daagliks hoe trap hy in die dorings. En toe besluit hy om sy hele prysgeld aan sy maatjie te skenk om skoolskoene te koop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toe ek die twee verhale hoor, gee dit my sommer nuwe moed en vertroue in die mensdom. Alles is darem nie net negatief nie, hoewel dit gewoonlik is wat ons gevoer word. So ek s\u00ea hou verby die negatiewe, ons het immers \u2019n keuse. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
