Hi, @momi5, nice to hear from you! I am really thankful for the weather here. I spent the first five years of my life in England (cold and wet) then the next 30 years in Canada (freezing cold, blazing hot, snow, ice, mosquitoes - all of which have their charm at times but can be difficult when there's too much of a good thing), so Joburg's climate now is an absolute blessing.
I think there's a balance between collective interest and self-interest and we need both (but maybe less politicians). Humans are hardwired to be self-interested and at the same time think of their communities.
