Somebody in England has just done that. If it was me I would have to move as my flat is not for wealthy people. I would hate that, I love my flat. My life would be turned upside down. No doubt I could do some good helping worthy causes. I could buy some more clother, but I already have trouble getting my clothes to fit in my cupboards. It would be too easy to buy anything I want instead of saving up first, that would take all the fun out of spending.I would be so busy managing my millions I wouldn't have time to enjoy the things I enjoy now. Jesus said it is hard for the rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven, I don't want to risk growing away from my Lord. So if you are wishing it was you who had won all that money, think again, maybe it wouldn't be so wonderful.
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...
