Self Improvement Tip of the Day: Leaving London In Chaos!
The week that I left London turned out to be not only a one of the most eventful weeks of my life, but also in the was one of the most eventful weeks London has seen for some time, and that really is saying something.
There was the massive Live 8 concert in Hyde Park, as well as several major international sporting events on the Saturday; the jubilation following the announcement of London’s winning bid for the 2012 Olympics on the Wednesday; then the tragic events of the bombings on the Thursday.
That Thursday, the 7th of July, was the day I was scheduled to leave London. Given the chaos that followed the bombings it was actually a miracle I managed to get out at all that day.
Any inconvenience I experienced isn’t even worth mentioning when you think about the devastating effects the events of that day, and the further bombings 2 weeks later, had on the victims, their families and so many other people.
We also shouldn’t forget that these sorts of things happen on an almost daily basis in many other parts of the world. It’s so sad to think that there are so many people in the world who feel driven to take such extreme actions.
The G8 concerts also focussed our minds on the desperate situation that millions of people around the world are in, and its almost unbelievable to think that given the knowledge and wealth in the modern world that anyone should still have to suffer in this way.
It should also help to put our individual lives into some sort of perspective.
There’s no doubt we all have our problems and challenges, but we are overall the healthiest, wealthiest and best educated people that have ever lived. We have access to an unbelievable range of goods and services that would have been unimaginable a generation ago, let alone several generations ago. But even today we are in the minority as a large proportion of people in the world still live in poverty and/or without basic human needs that we take for granted.
More tomorrow…….
