How To Get Over It!

Alister from South Dunedin

LOVE this quote! Found it on instagram this morning. To me it means what one might do with their pain πŸ˜©πŸ€•. We've all felt hurt πŸ₯ΊπŸ˜­πŸ€§ or angry 😠😀😑🀬 in reaction to behaviours from others - teachers 🍎, parents πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦, friends πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ€β€πŸ‘©πŸ», school kids πŸ‘©β€πŸŽ“, bla bla. We all have choice 🧠☯. I suppose some never come to realise that and might end up burning down the village! Believe me I get it! I feel like personal development has been the difference maker in my life - the saving grace πŸ‘ΌπŸ™. There have been times πŸ•—πŸ•Ÿ when I have felt very much like "burning down the village"🏠πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ !! Yet the desire to go down a path that didn't lead to prison πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ was stronger than my hurt and I worked through my feelings over many years πŸŽβš–. I was driven by the desire to not feel the way I was feeling anymore. I wanted peace and happiness - BOOM.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
