So maybe we shouldn’t actually care what he thinks.
I really can’t be insulted by someone when I have zero respect for any of their opinions.
In some ways and despite its somewhat amusing headline, the Cape Times story which I read this morning was rather sad. But you just can’t help but read a piece entitled:
Escaped mental patient stones police and jumps into Durban harbour.
The fact that someone is so ill and so out of their mind that they have to be locked away from society is tragic. That in desperation, they then escape, attack police cars and injure a police officer before throwing themselves into a harbour is perhaps even worse.
But as ever in this crazy country, there is an funny side too. And it’s a lesson that many of us would do well to remember: Perseverance is a wonderful trait.
An hour-long chase ensued before the man jumped into Durban harbour.
While in the water, he was still “very aggressively looking for anything to throw”.
Presumably, there weren’t many stones floating around, but this being in an industrial harbour, god knows what he could have found to fling.
Never give up.
