Mana (Authority, Power, and Prestige) - Day 15
Māui and the Sacred Fire
Māui, a legendary hero, sought to bring fire to the people from Mahuika, the Atua of fire. Māui approached Mahuika with respect for her mana, acknowledging her as the keeper of sacred power. Through wit and humility, he earned her trust, receiving the secret of fire to share with humankind. This act elevated Māui's mana and showed the importance of respecting authority while using power for the greater good.
Moral: Recognise and honour the mana of others while wielding authority with responsibility and integrity.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
