No this isn't an article about the Tacoma Narrows suspension bridge, neither is it about the Tay Bridge disaster. No, this is about something much more important, it's about you and those close to you. What are you doing to avoid collapse and deal with the stresses in your life? There are currently no mathematical equations that you can apply to a human being to determine whether the stresses that the person is under will cause collapse. Probably there never will be a truly scientific predictive methodology that can be applied. The human organism is so varied that what constitutes the trigger for catastrophic collapse in one person, may only be a source of interest or excitement in another. So the problem that faces us all is how to design and manage our lives and environments so as to afford us maximum protection, whilst at the same time allowing us to have an interesting and useful life.
