Something from the avarice/fear files, it would seem we have an unusually large number of "a few bad apples" in the current crop, and Ian Welsh making some sense at the corner of Rational & Irrational...
Like a lot of people, I've become a watcher/fan of "Untie the Lines" and look forward to each new installment. The most current episode was a bit depressing...
Of course, to get the whole gravity of the situation you really need to go back and watch all of the preceding episodes which I would highly recommend.
I expect we've all been in a similar situation at one point or another and if we haven't, it's more than likely because we were lucky rather than anything we've actually done to prevent it... So, there but for the grace of God and all that.
Sadly, in our current social-economic climate it's mostly all about looking out for number #1 and feeling smug when others have difficulties or fail. It gives the Monday morning quarterbacks something to live for and feel superior about...
The fact is, we all make mistakes and wrong choices becoming cruisers and the measure of someone is not about how much money they can throw at problems but how they deal with up close and personal adversity.
I expect Nike will get to doing and sort out her current set of problems and in the end she will be all the better for it... She's already jumped a bunch of hurdles which would have made others pack up and be on the first plane home...
So, go give the series a watch and, just maybe, if you have an opportunity to help her out (I expect she has a MIG welder and a good book on welding in her future) you might want to give it a serious think...
