Wayne’s Word – Fragile

It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.

Today’s word is FRAGILE.

Yesterday’s events at Bondi Beach were a stark reminder of just how fragile the world can be. Places we associate with sunshine, routine and safety can, in a moment, feel painfully different.

I used to live near Bondi Beach and walked along the promenade at least once a week, without a second thought, like so many others. It is extremely sad to see people being attacked for their religion or beliefs, innocent people and those caught in the crossfire. Things like this shouldn’t happen in Australia but these attacks really can happen anywhere and at any time.

In a fragile world, kindness, presence and looking out for one another matter more than ever. Bravo to the man who was able to disarm the perpetrator.
