Are you bringing up your little girl to believe she is your Little Princess? Of course you must love her, but do not spoil her. You can ruin your daughter's life by spoiling her. If she knows all she has to do to get something is to whistle for it, you will make her life later on very difficult for her to cope with. She may marry a man who also treats her as his Little Princess. If she is lucky she will die first, if not she will lose him and be lost in a world that does not recognize her royal status. She will be unable to cope and will lurch from crisis to crisis trying to find someone who will make her a princess again. The friends she has will find her selfish and demanding and be unable to cope with being in her company for long. So think about your lovely daughter's later life and don't spoil her now. Saying "No" is the kindest thing you can do, so long as it is not all the time. Bring her up to earn her treats doing simple chores. This is by far the kinder thing to do.
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...
