Harwell Village News and Gossip

I can think of no better way of using the free time of the senior generation to do good for the community, introduce a sense of consistency, and to create an environment that we can all be proud of.

I have known many people that have served their communities with home help, the odd shopping run, or even just a coffee once a week. This helps to create a sense of community, and is something to be proud of. It is a shame that this behaviour seems to have lost its way with the baby boom 55-70 year old generation.

For them it does seem to be a lot about personal gain, and not personal pride.

I don't mean everyone of course, but there are always the selfish few that are out there to build empires, and gain a sort of uneasy sense of moral high ground over the rest of the community. These people tend to look at half-empty glasses; are bullies; seek 'power'; and flock together (as individually they are very weak).

It is very sad to see that these people existing within our community in Harwell. Some have latched onto positions that allow them to 'represent' the rest of us; some just bemoan everything we have; but all are stuck in the past, stubbornly refusing to move forward in life.

We just hope that they look at their current lives and think - what will people think of me after I'm gone? what do people think about me now? how will I be judged?
