I have been unwell for two weeks and felt unable to write my blog as regularly as I had been doing. I am fascinated that many friends from Croatia have been reading my blog. I know very little about Croatia but intend to read up on the subject of it's history and modern developments. I do remember one fact and that is that the composer Haydn was from Croatia. I hope all my readers will find things in this blog to help them and make them think. My blog is not here to be sensational and create a readership who want to be amazed at every turn and yet many of my topics are earth shattering and speak of the things of eternity that really will matter when the crunch comes. Think on.
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...
