SOMETIMES, when tilings have sadly gone wrong despite great effort and good intentions, one is tempted to express the opinion that life is unfair. As the ancient scriptures said, wicked people seem to flourish as the green bay tree. Good little boys do not always get rewarded in this life, nor do the bad ones


get all the smacks they deserve. Some folks seem to get far more than their share of


trouble and, ironically, some children brought up with loving care and attention can turn out badly, whilst others who were dragged up willy-nilly develop sometimes into fine characters any parent could be


proud to have. Strange ideas have existed in various forms from

this way and that here was another opportunity for them to take pity on life’s unfortunate ones and help them as best they could. The casualties of our so-called civilisation surround


us today in this sinful world. Through no fault of their own they have been maimed in mind or in body, in poverty and slum conditions, never having had much of a chance to make much of themselves. Their warped lives are often due to the selfishness and greed of others, who have exploited the situation for profit. Where selfish people have sought power at any price, even as people starved, famine has been rife, whilst polities and wheeling and dealing have continued.
