I could not stop thinking about one of the most remarkable encounter in my life where the guys and girls from Sandton and successful (working for Convergence Partners) were mingling and having good times with the champs from Siyabuswa and Libangeni. They all played football in a bushy and thorny field, falling everywhere tackling each other, making jokes and the girls hanging out with the other girls and using open roof toilets and teaching each other computers. They shared KFC together. Everything was great and what was very interesting is the moment they started asking each about their respective lifestyles, only to found out they like the same thigs when they chill or do things. Like Silas from Libangeni  who  is a high school dropout said he likes to play poker or card "casino" with friends when he relaxes and also the CIO of the company our good friend Idan Segal said that is what he likes most also when he is relaxes. Is so amazing that the moment we cross our little shells or boundaries or comfort zones (we join the youthzones, lol) only to be shocked when we find out that we are the same or connected  as our friend next door who we are scared of and we feel insecure around his/her presence. It was very interesting to see our friends after I showed them the gym made of cement weights, only Idan and I had a work out and the rest watching and straight we finished they rushed to a bottle store near to buy booze nearby. What is interesting is that normally rich people in the suburbs in the development world or 'religious' families feel is right for them to drink and have fun and be free with no any guilt and we write a lot of manuals and books and talk alot about the poor should not have fun and have a drink or two like them because ... so many reasons to mention. I have seen so many rich individuals drining doing worse things and some going to prisons. The bottom line is poor or rich, black or white, everyone should have equal opportunities and live freely. What I like is that these lads from Convergence Partners shared with the locals at the bottle and talked to each other about the influence of over drinking in one 's life and they had fun and not being judgemental and they showed the locals that they also drink and pretending. The reality is it all goes to morality, life skills, responsiblity, etc irrespective of your race, status, titles, background...
