Ons het al vergeet dat net nou die dag was een bevolkingsgroep so superieur teenoor ‘n ander dat mense aangespreek moes word as “Baas”.<\/p>\n
Dit was groot sonde om nie te s\u00ea Baas nie. Om die waarheid te s\u00ea is daar dikwels klappe uitgedeel, “as daar nie respek betoon is nie”.<\/p>\n
Nou het ons weer Base.<\/p>\n
Baie Base.<\/p>\n
Daar is soveel Base dat daar sommer ‘n Baasdag is.<\/p>\n
Dankie Baas!<\/p>\n
So erg is dit dat daar tot ten hemele uitgeroep word na die “Grootbaas”, of die “Oubaas”.<\/p>\n
Maar wie is Baas?<\/p>\n
Wanneer jy by iemand stop maak hy die sondak, die bagasiebak en die enjinkap oop met die druk van ‘n knoppie. Hy staan daar en sy houding s\u00ea: “Ek is Baas.”<\/p>\n
Wanneer kinders agter die stuur van so kar inklim is hulle baas en ry asof hulle Baas is.<\/p>\n
Jy het posisie.<\/p>\n
Jy het geld.<\/p>\n
Jy bly daar, julle weet mos waar?<\/p>\n
Ma het altyd ges\u00ea: “My kind, daai man het sewe jaar geleer om ‘n dokter te wees, jy moet hom dokter noem”. Of: “My kind, daai man het sewe jaar geleer om predikant te wees, jy moet hom dominee noem”.<\/p>\n
En so was daar respek. Respek vir mense wat respek verdien, maar nooit base nie.<\/p>\n
Respek vir mense wat respek afdwing.<\/p>\n
Respek vir gesag.<\/p>\n
Sal nooit Ma se heilige vrees vir ‘n verkeersman, ‘n polisieman en ‘n skoolhoof vergeet nie.<\/p>\n
Baas?<\/p>\n
Nee, ‘n hond het ‘n baas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
