disappointment..

There are a load of references in novels and the like to how disappointment is worse than anger; how it makes people feel worse about what they have done and all that.

Right now I'm inclined to agree. I just snuck home for a weekend. And as people have asked me how things are I'm aware of how disappointed I feel. Disappointed is a difficult one to deal with. I'm not sure its dissipated with forgiveness in the same way that anger is. Its not a very active emotion.. it just sits on you.

It doesn't inspire, or instill hope. It just drains. And I don't like being drained.

blah blah blah...

This too will pass.

Remembering What I Enjoy..

Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good.

What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

Today some alarming social equality data was released. It said what we all know: if you are poor, you have less opportunities in life. For every £100 a month less income than the median you start school one month behind developmentally. Your vocabulary aged 5 is half what it is for a rich kid if you are in the bottom ten percent of income. Housing tenure stats are even worse. "Only 4 per cent of those of working age living in social housing have degrees, and nearly half have no or only low qualifications. Only half of men and 42 per cent of women of working age living in social housing are in paid work, compared with 89 per cent of men and 81 per cent of women in households with a mortgage." Social housing: by its nature, is grouped (london people ignore this, you are the freaks not the norm). That means that we have allowed ghettoes of poverty and low attainment (not just in a SATS way either). Now it would be easy, and some daft Tory has already done it, to pin this on
