About Me
- Susan Harwood
- It's one of those odd things . . . I live in my little house by the sea and listen to the radio and reckon I know best about more-or-less everything . . . as I keep telling the news-casters, the policiticians and all the experts interviewed there. I shout quite loud - but I'm beginning to suspect they can't hear! Sometimes, I write to my MP . . . but there's always more to say. So, here it is!

No....
you are missing the richness of life, freedom, nature, friends, the list is endless ......
I suppose it depends on how poor.
I'm saying this in connection with the current financial crises in Europe and America.
I would never say someone who has no home / food / clothes etc. is fortunate. Nor would be anyone living where there is no medicine or where education is lacking.
I, however, am not rich but I remain placid. I will not loose my job because I don't have one. I will not lose my home because I don't have a mortgage and I rent from a housing association.
My life is limited. Lack of funds can be worrying and frustrating. But it is not without richness.
Inflation, in my case, would be the thing to fear.
And, if things got really bad and the state withdrew support, it might be life threatening.
(I receive the Disabled Living Allowance, Income Support and Housing Benefit. If I had to pay for medication, my situation would be desperate.)
Meanwhile - I can imagine there must be terror in owning riches and having them suddenly swept away.
Susan
