Are We Cursed????

Dear Lord, What next? In just the last three weeks we have had

The slaughter of innocents in Manchester.
The slaughter of innocents in London
The debacle of the General Election.
The confirmed deaths of 12 souls in the Grenfell Tower Fire.

What else must we endure? It looks as though it is a weeky horror at the moment..

Re: Are We Cursed????

It's strange when you think about disasters whether natural or by terrorist.

For instance, if the person had chosen a different make of refrigerator, would it still have happened?

The people killed in Manchester could have been allocated different seats well away from the bomb.

The people killed on London Bridge could have started their journey five minutes earlier or later. Of course, others would have been killed in their place.

Life is such a lottery.

Unfortunately, although we like to hear what is going on in the World, the British press are really milking it at the moment.

This is certainly going to be a year to remember for all the wrong reasons.

The poor emergency services and hospital staff in London must be beyond exhausted

Re: Are We Cursed????

It seems strange that all these happenings are ocuring at a tile when the Country is in a turmoil over Brexit and General Election results,Its almost as though something is trying to take our minds away from these issues

Re: Are We Cursed????

It's all subjective isn't it.

Yes the latest world events have been atrocious, as ever, but how many of us have they actually affected personally?

In the past week, a few things have happened in my own life, which some might see as trivial, but they have certainly taken their toll.

These problems are akin to time being relative.
