Went to the Imperial War Museum with the usual suspects today. I must admit to having a passing interest in the technology of war, and I marvelled at the technological achievements of mankind through history, as displayed at the museum. It never ceases to amaze me that the last battleships to roam the earth’s oceans could fire a 1.5 ton shell over 36km, or that the precursors to modern mobile phones were devloped to enable reliable communication on the battlefield. However, I am also greatly saddened that human nature has not changed, that these great technological advancements are abused to kill others, making it necessary for those wishing to defend themselves to also develop more advanced weapons. Yet, Easter reminds me that, although human nature will never change of its own accord, God has provided the solution.
We finished the day watching the Count of Monte Cristo at Nigel’s which was a fun film and a good way to wind down after a busy day!
