Sometimes "real life" is more important then writing my blog. It is always better to interact with people you can see. There is a real danger in becoming a recluse, sat at a laptop. Interaction with people who matter to you, because you see them on a daily basis and actually talk to them and see their reaction to your words, is an important part of being human. Even those of us who now live alone were once a part of a family. That is a wonderful thing. Something worth fighting to regain if at all possible. I live alone but am blessed with lots of contact with my family. So many families have broken up, many more in the last few decades. If you do get the chance to heal a few wounds it is well worth it. Perhaps you are a Dad who has lost touch with his children. Try to get back in contact when they are over 18. They may well be glad of a chance to know you. Take it easy, don't expect too much too soon, but it is worth a try.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
