You can be too tidy. You can be so obsessed with tidiness that you don't give enough attention to more important things. Except in unusual circumstances you do not need to get the vacuum cleaner out three times a day. The surfaces do not need to be polished every day either. Moderation in all things. It is surely more important to spend time with a friend rather than make her feel guilty that her house does not match up to yours.Of course families do make more work than faces a single person and if you can do the housework with a happy spirit that is very good, but you should always be prepared to stop housework and give attention to your husband or your children.
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...
