Neil has been through a lot throughout his life and no one seems to really care. The TV series called 7 Up that he is in hasn’t really helped him much, as he has found that people have sent him letters and other things like that telling him that they understad what he is going through. He has made the comment that people watch 7 Up and then think that they know everything about him and what he is going through, but he has said that all the letters that he has read have been wrong. They have been talking about thungs that they think that he is going through, saying that they understand and he hasn’t been going through that at all. Thats his perception of it anyway, but I have found from my experience that some people can read into things and just because you don’t think that you are feeling that way doesn’t mean that you aren’t. It doesn’t mean that they know you better then yourself, but sometimes you can tell yourself that it is not true so much that you actually believe it. There is nothing wrong with that, it is just what we do subcontiously.
All Neils life he has wanted to do something important, to change something. But things didn’t look so good when he was homeless and he didn’t have a job. Neil took that to heart you could tell because he wasn’t very happy anymore and he started becoming more and more angry. Until he finnaly shifted to london and became a Liberaly Democrat. Then he shifted to England and became a council member there, helping to keep buildings there and keeping the towns history there.
Neil often said that his strengths are to just keep on going, which he has definitely done throughout his life. He has never completely given up on things, he might have lost heart a few times but he still comtinued on. There have also been a few times where he has been suicidal, but he hasn’t given in.
He has never gotten married which means that he has spent his life alone, which has definitely affected him as you can tell that he is lonely. He has gotten to terms with it yes but that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t still find it hard. As he said that he finds that he is the happiest when he is around friends.
Neils faith in God has been an interesting ride, as there were many times in his life when he wasn’t sure what he believe if he even believed at all. But towards the end of his life he finnally became a strong and commited Christian, and he also got a license to preach and lead a church service.
Neil has said that he doesn’t wat to get too old. He also makes the comment that he loves to write, and writes often but no one ever reads his stuff. He says that even if someone was to read one of his stuff, and answered saying that it was horrible, it would be hard to hear but at least he wouldn’t feel ignored. At least he woud know that it wasn’t all for nothing, because at the moment he knows that people know that he writes but nobody cares enough to respond or even read his stuff. And he finds that hurtfull you can tell.
So I feel sorry for him for many reason, but at least he has the assurance that he is going to heaven and so can have a better life when he gets there!!!
