Stronger Than Hate
Hate is powerful The cause of much suffering Love is tenacious * Thank you for reading. Author's Note - Okay, so technically nothing got posted on the 6th day of the year. However, that was out of my control and besides there was a couple of days I posted more than one piece, so I still feel I'm keeping to my plans for "a post a day".

Can You Drive a Ford Fiesta Through a Desert?
I’m flying down the B1 highway from Windhoek to Keetmanshoop with a map and a boot full of camping gear. I’m excited for the first stop of my Namibian road trip: the Quiver Tree Forest. I spot the sign and turn onto the C17, off the tarmac and onto the gravel. I’ll be there soon; it’s only ten miles or so. I am unprepared for what comes next. The car slides and slips across the road. I am not fully in control anymore. I slow to a crawl. The car judders and shudders, the noise deafening, the vibrations rattling the teeth in my skull. It takes me around an hour to drive the ten miles. I arrive at the campsite relieved to be in one piece, even if it feels like all my bones have been shaken slightly out of place. I will later learn that this is what happens when the gravel road becomes “corrugated”, and that the roads authority goes round once a week to “grade” them. Seems I arrived about 6 days after the grader had last been round.

Omggggg, tell me about it. Some people's ego be sky-high to the extent they will never accept that their wrong and apologise!
'Tis true ...
So true! Hearted and subscribed.
I wasn't subscribed, but I am now, excellent words but it is Senryū, not Haiku, I was told this in no uncertain terms by a friend in Japan 😀 I blame Vocal 😀
So very true and perfectly said. Something I need to reflect on more! Thank you for sharing these words of wisdom :)
So true! Very well said :)
