A piece of television that keeps you awake during the night, that has taken your reason out for a long walk and left it at the roadside attached to a pole and driven off at high speed, is to be congratulated for the sheer audacity in which it has been conceived and executed.

The insular and the perpetually lonely, the shy and the sexually sly, have never had it so good when it comes to the advent of online dating. As near to anonymity as it is possible to go, the filters, the regulations, the privacy, all is in favour of finding the one, the perfect match which little engagement and effort; for nobody expects to find love online, no one imagines unearthing the one to die for in such a short space of time.

We should be mindful of what we perceive to be irrational phobias; just because we find the notion of being fretful when a black cat crosses our path, that actors’ aversion to mentioning the lead name in Shakespeare’s Scottish play may bemuse us, or that Anatidaephobia is nothing to give a duck about, we must acknowledge that part of our own individuality and reason is immersed in the most simple of these anxieties, that something from the primordial soup attached itself to us and which has grown like a shadow as we have progressed through time.

To wish or demand for the same outcome time and again shows that immovability and stagnation of the human spirit are sadly more common than we were led to believe, and whilst some change will often rub against the sentiment of the purist, to decry that which sparks revolution is to corrode and rust itself.

It’s too late to ask your parents to reveal their secrets when they have left this mortal coil, but what lengths would you go to ask them for the truth when they are in Heaven or Hell, or the Limbo in between.
