In all of us there is, at times a beast waiting to pounce. The insanity that can be caused by mood changes is all too apparent after the sad events in Cumbria yesterday. For a human to go on a killing spree is rare but when it happens, it rocks whole communities. The understanding and mentality of such tortured souls can at times be totally intangible to the rest of us. It is by the grace of God that most of us were in other places at the time but this surely does not detract from the blunt truth of what happened to those unfortunate residents of the sleepy coastal strip in Cumbria. This reflects on the other infamous tragedies of latterday Blighty namely Hungerford, Dunblane and from the distant past Aberfan, but the last one was more of a natural tragedy than one perpetrated by firearms and violence.
On the other footing, England head to the World Cup finals in South Africa and for the majority of people I'm sure they are wished well for the upcoming tournament however for those of us who are due to become football pariahs or widows during this time, my only advice is to take yourselves away to a dreamy beach in a quiet secluded cove with no mobile, no radio and certainly no television to gain that truly isolated experience and feel totally free of all media attention, at least until lunchtime ( joke) I wish you all well, whatever your persuasions but for me personally it is a chance to reflect on previous campaigns and think to myself, is it all really worth it.!!!!!
Such is the difference between hope and despair, and most of us would settle for a neutral place right in the middle. GOOD LUCK to all of you whatever you are planning to do this summer.
