Christmas and New Year are times to spend with your family, but not everyone has family to share with. For them this can be an especially lonely time of the year. If you are lonely the best thing you can do is to find another lonely person and spend some time with them. Try putting them first. Maybe you live alone but are quite content with your situation, nevertheless find a lonely person and share some of your time with them. A good friendship may develope from this contact and you will both have gained by it. There are millions of lonely people in this world, so it should not be difficult to find one to help.
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...
