Tsunami and world consciousness
Beyond budists or other type of meditational groups, we normal liberal democracy citizens can also have a world consciosness. The just occured tragedy gave us all a fresh splash of death and savage natural power. Is this the only way to look at others? only infront of horror? well i guess if the millenium began with Empireledwars, obviously only horror can wake the mass up!!! I'm still confident that my hapiness pends from my intimate way of living and not the possible solutions for world problems. This is the feeling top leaders seek in adversaries: to discourage opposition.
We must not grant in our stands, even though our stands are just heard in our neighborhood [ in my case San Pedro de lso Pinos] they must stand, wait, mantain themselves, be.
The tsunami took most heads into the blackbox [TV] and made a statement "we exist and we suffer" The gigantic resonance of an earthquake destroys enormous amounts of coastline and only then we realize that those countries tha exist marginally from the civilized world exist without any technical support to survive this type of danger.
Days after the tsunami a mexican representative of the catholic church makes the following statement "i've heard before of those coasts, full of sin, and now i feel God has given them a call of attention" What i can say about the remark of this idiot wants to blurt of of my mouth, but i will learn to contain and organize in order to defeat. He is obviously very far from geographic realities and i know he cares little about the rich europeans and australians corrupting poor thai girls and boys.
People prefer to see guilt and just punishment than mere randomness and need.
World consciouness has been delivered by shock, unexpected violence is the key to an international forum that unites actions toward one cause [this is very unsual, except for protecting the richest country from a gang of fundamentalists]. Maybe beauty has a soporific effect, in physiological terms, our nerves get excited only by certain [violent, horrid] stimulus.
