I don't know why, because I advocate LIFE, you personally attack me by saying I live in a "cloud cuckooland Utopia".
I said we, as a society, should be addressing the reasons why Beverley wanted to kill herself. We, as a society, need to look at the problems our fellow human beings have such as isolation, loneliness, fear of aging, fear of nursing homes, becoming discarded as we age ..
I know about life. I've certainly lived enough drama and trauma to know both emotional and physical pain. I know the problems people face in this world.
You may have a 'people not giving a toss' perspective on the world but equally there are people who do give a damn and there are many unsung heroes who quietly go about their lives reaching out to others.
When everything is about yourself, you tend to lead a self-serving existence and act surprised when you find there is no one left in your life when you need them.

I believe I owe you an apology as I now see that my word choice DOES sound like a personal attack upon you, even though that wasn't in my mind at the time, so please accept it sincerely.
I was actually taking a swipe at the general ' Caring Collective Society Utopian' concept being in existence.
Mark me down as being a cynic regarding that idea, particually in this wide brown land as I've seen little evidence of such a thing.
Certainly there are the exceptions to every generalised rule, and I've been lucky enough to witness the rare one, but never enmasse.
Perhaps I've been unlucky enough to mainly witness the, "Goodonya mate" greeting while the ones saying it have a sharp knife hidden behind their back waiting to use it on you.
