Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

The house I live in in Leeds is a couple of hundred years old. It once belonged to a family - the Oates family - whose son became very famous for all the right reasons. I’ll tell you the story briefly.Β A hundred and ten years ago tomorrow a Norwegian explorer called Ronald Amundsen won the race to be the first person to stand at the North Pole. He got there a month or so ahead of his British rival, Captain Robert Scott. Not only was Scott’s party disappointed, but they also all died on the way back to civilisation. One of his men, Captain Titus Oates, was suffering from frostbite and gangrene and decided he was compromising the chances of the others moving more quickly and surviving. One day he left the tent in a blizzard, his last words being: β€œI am just going outside and may be some time.” It was his 32nd birthday.

If you really want to annoy me, when you’re leaving our house, just pause at the door, look solemn, and say: β€œI am just going outside and may be some time.” It was funny the first time … Captain Oates was brave, but also realistic. He knew how his behaviour and his decisions would impact on the wellbeing and survival chances of his friends. He laid down his life in the interests of others.Β Now, I think that Captain Oates has something to say in a week when, away from blizzards and frostbite, we face challenges to our own lifestyle and decision-making. The Omicron virus is … er … virulent, and there are renewed fears about public health.Β 

So, the public is being asked to look not only to their own interests, but to those of others to whom we might transmit an infection. My own rights or freedoms might thus be limited or restricted. But, it is not all about β€˜me’ - rather, it’s about us.Β Jeremy Thorpe once said of Harold MacMillan: β€œGreater love has no man than this, that he laid down his friends for his life.” Titus Oates thought differently, taking Jesus seriously and laying down his life for his friends. When it comes to loving your neighbour as yourself, I’m with Titus.
