In so many cultures women are under valued. If girl babies are aborted where will the wives of the future come from. It is perniciously evil to under value women in any sphere of life. At the beginning God said,"It is not good for man to be alone." Then he created Eve directly from Adam, the God-given perfect mate for man. Of course the fall came next and so the perfect partnership now has its problems. Marriage in our day is under threat. Now that women are able to support themselves they are no longer willing to tolerate the behaviour of their husbands in the way their mothers did. I am not squeaky clean in this respect having two divorces behind me. I am not seeking to point the finger at anyone, but we really do need to sort ourselves out and for men and women to value each other and support each other. There is so much fragmentation in life and sometimes it cannot be avoided, but where we can we should seek to work together.
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...
