Not so long ago, I was a free man, no political constraints. Then I agreed, voluntarily to join Government. Tjoooo! Free but not free!! You have to obey the majority/collective decisions! Sometimes it feels like swallowing a rock!😳

No matter how angry and upset you might be, burning and destroying your local properties and infrastructure is NOT a solution. It’s like using the oasis as a toilet in the dessert. You will return there thirsty!!
