Fig.1. It might have been a bad year for badger‘s but that’s not the point.
Thick with cold and in the car unwillingly I wondered what badgers had to do with the state of the economy.
It is true, that you learn from disaster, from economic downturn, from making ends meet … from a death in the family, from making mistakes. Indeed, in many things you learn a good deal in a bad year.
It was a bad year for gardeners
I had a bad year in 1985. The love of my life and I were parting company. I was young. I let it fester. This has been a bad year – my mum died.
I’ll think of 2012 therefore as the year of the Badger.
At least this’ll put a smile on my face.
Do we really learn from our mistakes?
It rather suggests that our personalities are like plasticine rather than alabaster – that we can and do with ease adjust to the circumstances.
