There is a lot of frailty about human life. One can be up and going, vibrant and happy one day and suddenly reduced by accident or illness the next.

Life can look like going on for endless years – only to be truncated by environmental catastrophe or man-made disaster.

Add these days, the prominence of scammers and the deep deceptions with which so many genuine persons are confronted, and the issue of threats and ruination are compounded.

One never knows in retiring for the night, how the next day will emerge.

Life is tenuous and fraught.
