Them

Although I cannont deny that my life has been good, at every important stage my plans have been trashed by other people.

When I realised that I had the chance to be, not wealthy, but fairly well off, others decreed that it should not be so and I was made redundant. Their decision affected my pension plans.

When I was happy with the girl I thought I should marry, others intervened out of sheer spite and drove wedges between us

Now that I am approaching retirement (albeit some years away) it seems now that they are acting again to trash that for me too and there is the very real possibility that I will be made redundant once again.

This does not just mean that I will be out of work until I retire, but that once I reach retirement age, my pension will be so small as to leave me wandering in a world which is a mere shadow of the world I know now and I will not be able to afford to even do what I do now, let alone visit those new worlds I long to explore.

How can I look kindly on these people?
