Complaining Is Bad For Your Health

Granted, we all complain about one thing or the other almost on a daily basis. Just this morning there are complaints all over Gaborone and surrounding areas that last night’s rains were a real nuisance, yes the rain we have been praying for the whole year.

Our knees bear testimonies to the praying, we have been praying, no, begging for rains. So it rained heavily for the past two days and last night a guy with a vengeance was on duty in rain heaven because this round of rains left a trail of destruction on its path. Trees have been uprooted, some ended up on rooftops, brought down walls, fell in the middle of street while for some, they buried cars underneath.

One would think by now the streets would be filled with people celebrating the rains. Not a chance, complaints all round. I may have missed the memo, but I don’t ever recall us being specific about the kind of rains we wanted. All I know is,  we agreed that only floods could save us.
