2 ‘What’s it all about?’

If you are anything like me, you will have asked yourself more than once, recently, ‘What’s it all about?’ There have been referendums and elections, wars and terrorist attacks, discussions about immigration, atrocities in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and now Orlando... and, of course, as I write on the 17th June, Britain is trying to come to terms with the murder of Jo Cox, the young Labour MP for Batley and Spen, in Yorkshire. And then there is the EU referendum. It all feels like too much, and I find myself wondering where PETER DIXON all this ‘pressure’ has come from, and why all this is happening now? Maybe we have lost All types of Building & Repair work carried out sight of a good reason to be alive. Maybe we need to take stock again, on a level that is ROOFING : FIREPLACES : PATIOS : EXTENSIONS above house prices, economics and politics. Maybe we need to ask again – ‘What is life 016974 72611 OR 07557 098 684 for?’..... There are lots of different ways of looking at life. For many people it is all about being ‘happy’. Surely if everyone was happy, the world would be a better place? Well, yes... but how do we measure happiness? Where does the ‘real thing’ come from, and is it, on its own, enough to give life real meaning? In the modern world, ‘happiness’ is often associated with having enough money to buy the things that we think we need. But this kind of ‘happiness’ comes at a real cost. The world we live in is finite. We cannot all expect to find our ‘happiness’ by endlessly consuming things. The problem is that while we, in the West, have too much of everything, some people have almost nothing at all. The result is the ugly upheaval we live in today, as CRAIG BUTTERWORTH ideological wars and environmental problems mean that people all over the world are Feathers Health & Beauty D.O.T. A.D.I. moving, in search of much more basic things than ‘happiness’. Perhaps our planet is too Wythmoor House, Stockdalewath, Carlisle CA5 7DN small for ‘happiness’ to be a healthy reason to live.

How would you know who you were if you www.drivingschoolcarlisle.co.uk had no relationships... if you had never met another person? A better reason to be alive, than simply being ‘happy’, is to be loved. It makes us real.

Free quotes available. But in a world where so many people are ‘hell-bent’ on ‘happiness’, no matter what it costs, Contact Rob 077305 70889 Alan 07791 648 825 how can love win through? The amazing thing is that love can grow where happiness Email [email protected] cannot. It is much stronger. Love can emerge amidst disappointment, hardship, desolation and chaos. Love is a pioneer in situations that need a fresh start. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ show us that love is the first flower to bloom where God’s HANDYMAN creation is being renewed. I don’t think Jesus was a ‘happy’ person - I think he was a beautiful, and eternally loving one. We need to try to remember this in our time. In the end, when we look at our lives, and wonder what they are all about, we must ask ourselves, not how we can be ‘happier’, but how we can be less self-centred, and more loving. Travel, holidays, work, and great experiences may bring us a fleeting glimpse of ‘happiness’, but they don’t ‘save’ us from anything. Love does. God’s Creation is ‘The NICK VERRALL Stage’ onto which love is born. We must look after it because, surely, this is the whole GETTING ODD JOBS DONE point of life.

‘Wilmot’ In the end, Wilmot found an unexplained place in the ‘General interest’ section of the Parish News. Since then, people have been asking me ‘Why?’ and trying to guess whose dog it was! One lady suggested that we should hold a monthly competition to NAME A LOCAL DOG. I thought – ‘It could be a good way to get everyone reading the magazine!’...... so here we go:

If you want to enter your dog, email [email protected] a picture, along with your name, your village, and the dog’s name. The first picture I get each month will go in the magazine. If you want to ‘NAME THE DOG’ and win a £5 prize, email me. The first correct answer, giving name and full address, by email to me, will win. The competition starts in September, & will run until I am bored! Philip
