but then where would one end if one started to compose a list of the wrongs that this world had seen? Better perhaps, thought Mma Ramotswe, to make a list of those things that were right with the world, of people who had made life better for other people, or who had done what they had been called to do with honour and without complaint.
Mma Ramotswe contemplates the overwhelming task of documenting the world's wrongs, recognizing that such a list could stretch endlessly. Instead, she believes it may be wiser to focus on the positive aspects of life and the individuals who have contributed to the greater good. This reflects a shift towards appreciation rather than a fixation on negativity.
In her perspective, highlighting those who have lived honorably and made a difference is more meaningful. This positive outlook encourages a recognition of the good in humanity and motivates the celebration of people who fulfill their duties with integrity, fostering an environment of gratitude and hope in the world.
