Grist to the Mill

RUNNING - A GOOD TIME TO THINK

As predicted, both the Daily Express and the Daily Mail have today chosen headlines along the lines of ‘Driver fined for eating apple’. How about ‘Driver not fined for killing person’? Surely that’s a little more newsworthy?

Running on the treadmill at lunchtime, I started to reflect on negative emotion/s and how awful they are/how destructive they can be: disappointment; rage; murderous jealousy; etc. Never welcome and never pleasant. When you are in the grip of it though, acute embarrassment is high on the list of ones to avoid. It sounds mild - like a minor inconvenience, but when it has you, it’s appalling.
