[QUOTE="Christoph1945, post: 3635394, member: 42426"] DrWazzock, many thanks for the enlightening reply. Sadly, like many others, I had totally forgotten you all and become engrossed in the mechanics of day-to-day living. Having spent most of my working life in the heavy chemical industry, I can see where some of the pieces fit together and we are all dependant on one and other but I am tempted to believe that we have "all" become pawns in a far greater game. I would often climb to the uppermost level of a chemical plant and watch the sun rise at dawn. I have seen the sun thunder up over The Cape and set so fast you would have thought that someone had turned off the lights but, sadly, I never gave a thought to the farming folk who would labour all day to put the food on our table; or the fishermen who fought the storms to provide an other part of our diets. If only we could all have our eyes opened, so that we can see just how dependant we are on each other. Hmmm, sorry for all that; this is supposed to be an upbeat thread! [/QUOTE]
