[Opinion]: Is darkness really such a disaster?

[Packer]

So thanks Eskom, we should do this more often

Eskom hears and obeys.

Is darkness really such a disaster?

That depends on whether you want a working economy and advances or not.

If we all aspire to mud-huts then I guess darkness is fine.

Was thinking the same thing when the lights went out last week. It was ok to be without power for 3 hours. In that 3 hours I could have silence, had a chance to talk with my family without background noise. The neighbourhood was suddenly transformed into a remote rural village I grew up in. That brought back some happy memories of a peaceful upbringing. It was like we had travelled back in time. In a way I wasn't concerned about when the power would be back as I was caught up in a reminiscent moment. So thanks Eskom, we should do this more often

You are lucky. As soon as the power goes off the neighbours are at it with their generators.
