Since I live in London, my routine has changed a lot, but I could not wriggle out of the habit of dawn with the radio. Now I have to Today as classical clock. I hear the program online as I stretched and also reviewed what they publish a number of websites and blogs from newspapers and media from my favorites list. me The radio is an excellent partner in this exercise to review the scenes daily and I admit that I attract more than anything, the voices. This diversity of accents and tones, and chronic trials, I immediately connected with the beating of this chaotic and diverse. Today
leaves me quite satisfied, either by his team of professionals, live interviews and commentary to the persons entitled entitled "Reflection for the day." I am interested in issues of British events since they are part of my continued efforts to understand this country, but occasionally then the news surprised me with stories that deviate from the ordinary to fall into the unusual.
This week I woke up with the story of an Australian who was killed by her pet, nothing less than a camel. The animal had a birthday gift at 60, only ten months, but weighed over 150 kilos. The funny thing is that, according to police, the camel tries to mate with the farmer from Queensland. The trance he killed the woman and go down to posterity in a mortuary pose little ridiculous.
When I had not yet forgotten the shock of such silliness, the pages of El País I reserved another scene between scary and silly: the case of a young Serb who, drunk and naked, entered the bear cage of Belgrade Zoo. Belgrade park rangers could not even recover the body of the intruder.
weeks ago, also in the English newspaper, had been stunned the video also an Argentinian past without clothes and drinks, which climbed the facade of the Cathedral of La Paz, Bolivia. After attempting to grab a rope that passed the fire, trying to rescue the 26-year tourist slipped and fell to his death.
do not deny that things like this get me down a bit, but let me doubtful between bashing the irresponsibility of such acts or reject them with a concession to pragmatism. It is elementary that humans are fragile in nature. The superheroes only exist in the stories that certain writers or show some movies, not reality. I see that the makers of one of the games on my mobile phone, in which the protagonist as a human cannonball shot out of a cannon, are not as clueless as alert users that do not try to replicate the animated scenes observed in screen minimal cell phones.
However, what really worries me is the apparent disregard for life, a conclusion which I reach after analysis of cases like these that I have described. People die, ironically, when they reach the limit of their capacity for fun. The fun is to drink plenty, or to satisfy a particular desire or fantasy, until he lost consciousness of their own actions. Excessive and wham, the last.
not want to fall in messianic radicalism, or make an elegy on the liberating joy of being alive. At least for me it is clear that there is, among other things, recognize that one is in the universe for a reason and perhaps the very confirmation of the certainty (or denial) deserves to remain alert and breathing as the days pass. I can not always understand that there is reason to celebrate the personal journey through this world, because I know of those who, because this or that cause, barely survive on the planet. To understand the suicide, though there is a notable difference between dying as an individual act knowingly and die by imbecility.
I come to mind recent stories in London and other British cities, where more than a dozen teenagers have been shot at by youth gang rivalries, stabbed with apathy and even error. In addition to creating a climate of instability and tabloid headlines occupy, these facts seem to me the best example of all that despises life on Earth. The list of similar cases I just drag now, I might add both Muslim fundamentalists who advocate the endless slaughter of infidels, as the rival groups in troubled areas of the planet, where the victories are recounted not as the result of previous military strategies, but as a basic body count.
to listen and observe daily scenes and victims painful loss, but maybe in the minds of those who direct and produce news programs such as Today, there are at least a desire to encourage his listeners. So when so many people die from unavoidable causes, one is suddenly not knowing how to react to news of senseless deaths. Perhaps ironically, admirers of the degree of stupidity of the characters, perhaps with pity, providing a rationale for such nonsense, or perhaps with moralizing indifference, questioning the need to air such nonsense. Personally, I always left with the question I be just me alone in his concern with such disregard for human life?
