When you have a problem, such as depression, the main thing is to keep reminding yourself that it will pass and better days will come.I am fortunate to have good friends and family around me who give me support. It is very important to get out and mix with people. It puts life into perspective and most people are very sympathetic. The mornings seem to be the worst time and it is tempting to pull the duvet over your head and stay there. Get up and get moving it's much better for you, but easier said than done.
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...
