A human being is a human being





The disabled whether physically or mentally are still worthwhile human beings.  God decided that was the way they should be and they have a purpose.  They bring out the love in their families in a very special way.  Whoever said everyone had to be ultra fit and earn their keep.  We are not on this planet to run super economies we are here to help one another and learn from this process and some find God in it.  A shining example of triumph over disaster is the disabled boy from Russia who won their Kids Voice.  That boy sings with such passion born of the suffering he has endured.  I recommend you listen to him on You Tube.  He is an inspiration.  His name is Danil Pluzhnikov. And yet Hitler would have killed him undoubtedly. I fear many of our politicians would like to be rid of all who cannot work, whether from disability or old age.  After all they think what a boost to the economy with no pensions to find or benefits to give out.  They forget a healthy economy is not the purpose of life.  We are here to please God and He loves the “widow and the fatherless.” How many Hitlers and Mengeles still stride our land even though we fought the war and supposedly beat them. We didn’t protest when they aborted the healthy and the disabled alike, and now those people are not here to protest when we of the generation that stood by when abortion was legalized, are ripe for the cull.

Why do many disasters happen?

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...

Optimism conquering experience

I watched The Detectorists tonight. I have not watched it before. It is about a group of people who use detecting equipment to discover old coins and other things of archeological interest. This was the last in the series and had a bitter sweet feel to it.  One of the main characters asked,"Why do we do it?" and the other replied,"This is the nearest you will ever get to time travel." You have to be an optimist to do metal detecting.  There is always the attraction of making a big find or an important discovery.  Among all the tin cans and coat hangers found there is the hope of a Saxon hoard, or Roman gold. Optimism keeps them going.

Nostalgia

Nostalgia is usually a sudden pleasant memory triggered by a present stimulus.  The other day I opened a new bottle of bath creme which immediately sent me back to my youth.  The scent was described as lilac but to me it was the scent of violets and especially reminded me of the violet flavoured sweets we sometimes had.  I think my brother once used some to try to disguise that he had been smoking! Not a good move, whoever heard of a teenage boy wanting to smell of violets.  Nostalgia is usually a pleasant but maybe bitter-sweet thing. The smell of Astral soap always reminds me of a childhood holiday at my uncle's farmhouse.  Sometimes it is not possible to know why these triggers happen.  Do you often have nostalgic moments?
