...

I' d like to be more than just a passerby on Earth during this short period of time delimited by the day I was born and the day I'll succumb to the fatal event of life, death! Despite the effort, it's not easy to keep a thinking being before so much futile information that, irrefutably, populates the human mind. Internet, Radio, TV... a few sources of empty knowledge that fill our brains.
Questioning about the truths that have been imposed to us is an affront we aren't prepared to face. We are encouraged to think uniformly, following trends that make us just one more alienated in the crowed that is taking big strides to an existential abyss.

Stonehenge, pyramids, and other human creations of the same magnitude are a trace of a more spiritual life in a distant past when the human used to have a conection with nature, unthinkable today. Nowadays, with our thoughts focused only on ourselves, we are slowly loosing our sensitivity. We know the particles of something as small as an atom but we can't notice the pain we cause when we decide to stay away from someone who loves us.

Tolerance is gone. It has never been so increasing the number of people who would rather live alone than share their lives with someone else. The fear of ending life lonely gave raise to the fear of "lack of privacy.

Ironically, as I write this, someone interrupts my thoughts with an instant message. An ex coworker with a questionable character telling me with a Machiavellian pleasure that she has had an affair with a married guy for 2 years. That's the portrait of a society corrupted by excess of selfishness. The pursuit of a happiness that can cost the happiness of another.

I do not believe that perfection is an attribute of human beings but even so we shouldnt stop trying to be better people. I root for that our legacy for the future generations is not as complicated as building a pyramid but has similar greatness and be much more useful! The ability to love and care about other´s pain.
