Sometimes I feel like
living in some kind of parallel worlds, just as in tv series The
Twilight Zone fulfilling my younger days back in the 90’s, where
people inhabit with ‘zombies’ and everything gets mixed in a
strange relationship between generations and descendants.
It’s really funny to
observe how we stumble upon several kinds of species, several
environments on a daily basis and how the human being’s genesis has
been degrading in the last millennium.
Sensibility is extinguishing, as so the empathy and love for others
or even for ourselves. Most people don’t communicate, don’t
interact with the purpose of getting to know better his resembling,
do not get affected by other’s suffering. They almost never stop to
look around, understanding that every action has an impact on
themselves and not just on the most disadvantaged.
At work we no longer
deal with people but rather with temperaments, closed faces or
pointed fingers, and we seem to live in a giant vanities’ fair
where a minority of gentle ones becomes rare, almost swallowed by the
ones who see them as far-fetched.
At home we also get affected with more and more thunderstorms trying
to keep the ship ashore when each one rows in different directions to
get credit for taken actions or just by accusing others of their own
frustrations and incompetence’s. Sons and daughters seem to
disrespect their parents as if they were just some pawns on some
computer game and even between them there’s a lack of proximity or
affection. It’s obvious, for me anyway, that each one of us is
responsible for own choices, chosen paths, spoken words, practiced
thoughts, daily attitudes…
But if in one hand
nothing makes us explain our actions or decisions made, on the other
hand we cannot alienate from those actions, as it has influence on
days to come and impact on those directly or indirectly influenced by
everything we say, do or share.
Social networks have been one of major accountable for, even if
indirectly as we created them, the all social and personal
dissociation who attracts millions of people just interested in their
belly buttons, in their fantasized worlds, in the name of some
economical/religious power or simply narcissism. And so each day I
less identify myself with what is imposed by the society as a rule,
fatality or greater good. And I try to minimize those
adverse impacts for the benefit of a more lonely life but also
more dignified and comforting one in the fellowship of the ones I
choose and get chosen by due to daily solidarities and affections.
