Should we stop at the berm....
Wouldn't it be great if we got to know our neighbours well enough to support them like family? What do I mean by this?
If we all take care of those next door to us, we could grow a bond of strength in the Community that could: prevent crime; lessen loneliness; create safety for the children; increase morals by understanding of decency & thoughtfulness toward others; and grow understanding of personal welfare and cultural needs; just to name a few things.
When I was young, people would be like that...small towns/community groups would look out for one another. Houses could be left open and nothing would be stolen. All that's gone now and some would say could never return (a dreamers age gone by), but I still think we could improve our communities by helping one another more often. Giving of self for another often improves our own happiness and well being.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
