Ungratefulness

Donald Singh, Lautoka

That couple, who pleaded with the authorities for compassion and then got their wish granted by some good-hearted officials, had the numbness in their skull to stab the authorities in the back.

The story of a disabled son waiting at home will certainly melt many hearts. Their story sold, they were excused from quarantine, then remained isolated at home, so we read.

They tested negative. The least they could have done out of gratefulness was to shut their mouth and thank the Almighty for good tidings.

But no, they had every intention to sling mud on some good people.

Authorities, from now on, please don’t let anyone sell you any story, and I can’t specify the possible storylines. It’s probably good they spoke, now you will throw compassion out of the window. There’s a beast called COVID-19 to tame.

As long as people with ungratefulness exist, COVID-19 will not be eradicated.

You are doing fine, Ministry of Health. I feel safe, and can even afford a little carelessness occasionally.

But I remain grateful.
