You can’t expect everything to be perfect

Sir,
We all have the option of writing and voicing our opinions on certain matters we feel strongly about that we experience in our day-to-day lives.

Most complain about the cruelty to animals which takes place in Cyprus. However, it’s not only in Cyprus that it happens, even in England you have a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA). Why is it that your readers expect cruelty to animals not to happen here? If you count how many young children are murdered and molested in England you will probably find that it happens more often than what cruelty there is to animals in Cyprus.

As for the economy, if it’s as good as it is right now when it’s running on the smell of an oily rag then I can say with all the confidence in the world that we can only get richer. The icing on the cake belongs to Cherie and Tim ‘so what’ Watton from the UK (letters, January 1).

We should do what Tim says: we have been wronged but “so what”, move on forget about it ,fair enough if that’s how you feel. You can say that as you have not lost your home or all your personal belongings.

And with Blair asserting that intervention was necessary to prevent Islamist terrorists and the Iraqi regime armed with weapons of mass destruction with scarcely a scintilla of evidence to support him, any logical person would be worried on the Blairs involvement in the Orams case.

At the end of the day, we are not the perfect island but it’s better than most and we should all be making the most of the good things we have .Be happy and don’t be a glutton demanding everything to be perfect. It doesn’t happen.
