“How quickly civilization can be ripped away and we accept breakdown as the norm.”

“I started off by saying that looking back it was a nightmare. But at the time? It was normal. Just completely normal. It’s amazing how easily and quickly that the veneer of civilisation can be ripped away, and we accept breakdown as the norm. “ Mario Martini. Mario was referring to “The Troubles” in Northern Ireland which occurred from 1968 to 1998. More than 3500 people were killed during this conflict of which 52% were civilians. It’s good and wise to learn from history, so that we don’t repeat it. Northern Ireland’s story is considered in “Trapped” book three.
