The Weekly News in Pictures:

 

And of course:

 

No words to describe…

I have a problem, well, I have a lot a problems, but this one affects while reading the news. I’m addicted to reading the comments that are made on the online news. It’s when people feel protected by anonymity that they are able to share all of their darkest thoughts. Those thoughts are mostly disgusting.

I confess that I lost most of my sensibility or empathy to others due to the amount of tragedies that happen in the world daily, and that nowadays we are able to see from some sort of screen.

But even assuming that I’m selfish, because being that insensitive, is basically being selfish and self-centered, I’m not able to not feel hopeless for the refugees.

Just imagine how one must feel to have the need to travel thousands of kilometers, in any form possible and most of the times with kids, how desperate must they be?

I don’t understand the ones that say, that:

1 – They’re terrorists

2 – They’re invading us

3- They want to change our rules

4 -They should had stayed in their country and fight for it

5 – How can we help them when we have so many people needing help in here.

Ok, let’s go back to basics:

There’s probably a small percentage of jihadists that will try to infiltrate this way, however, those, would had come either way, and it’s not because of them that we shouldn’t help the others.

How many thousands are the refugees? How many Millions live in Europe? Maths, have you ever heard of it?

Hein? 2 things,the maths above, how will they change our rules? and aren’t we trying to change their rules all the time?

Again? hein? What would you do? Honestly, not the macho answer, just an honest answer.

One thing does not invalidate the other.

Most of all, I can be completely wrong, but aren’t we all human? Why is it so difficult to help others? Just because they’re from a different country?

I’m losing faith in humanity.

And then I saw a caravan that is leaving from Portugal and another one from Spain with food and clothes, and that was collected trough Facebook, or that after the Iceland government indicated that they would only receive refugees, there were 10000 volunteers to receive them.

Why there so may bad people? Either the ones that criticize any help to refugees or the unspeakable’s that created all this kind of situations.

In other news…

My mum tells me that when I was young, really young, around 3 years old, I would prefer to sit in front of the TV watching the news than watching cartoons. While growing up, I kept on doing it, getting to the point of watching 2 or more news reports on a row.

As soon as i got to my “adult” years (I did told you in another post that I don’t wanna be a grown up),I changed, l went from a news addict to watching all the TV series available.

But I did kept on getting informed especially online, I kind of left the mainstream news and started to search for the information everywhere, I still keep some more mainstream channels on my daily news search, but normally when I see something that keeps my interest I just start to navigate along the web, and that’s probably the reason why I also sometimes say that I’m a sort of encyclopedia of useless things.

 

Nowadays with all the information that we’re able to access we don’t have any excuse to not know what’s happening around the world, unless we want to be happy, because every time that I’m wandering in those news sites, I just keep on seeing how bad we humans are.

(In other news there are also a couple of news that keep me with some hope for us)
