This is not a poem, nor a story. It is about life and how it revolves around me (or us). Just a few from a million examples.
I spent a few days in a hotel in the south of my island. Funny, G. Man said: ‘if you live in The Canaries where do you go for holidays?’
Ok. We like (and often need) to leave the islands, but to do so you cannot just take a scooter. You must fly or spend three days on a boat to get to
Back to the hotel. There I saw that those who are from the island pay much more than Spanish (from the mainland) or foreigners, who come with the All-Included stuff and pay less in ten days than me in just three. Unfair.
To be able to get internet connection I had to pay one euro for ten minutes. Unfair. Internet should be free to customers. Instead of TV (or together with it) we should have one in the room… after all it’s a four- star!
But the crisis is getting clearer… That seems to be the reason why most of the islanders here have chosen to stay and go down south, rather than travel to Europe, America or Asia (very few go to Japan o
r Australia), because they cannot afford the very expensive plane tickets and the hotels abroad. But I wonder if they have really saved that much.
It's said that these are the
I am not saying I’d rather live somewhere else, but…It’s unfair to me today.
I’ve realized how much the world revolves around me and all of us (that Steve’s comic strip has given me lots to think!).
Two days ago there was an explosion in a pyrotechnics factory near my house. Two were killed. Oh yes! this has been big news. Last year there was a plane accident in
Ninety-five people (violence) have died in
But why is it that we suffer more for two people who we do not know than for 567 Chinese people we do not know? Do we think there are so many Chinese … (what’s 567 out of a billion?) Or is it because they are far away from us? Or is it that we are so used to listening to or reading or watching such pieces of news coming from the far East that we have become indifferent to them?
UNFAIR.

I think sometimes we get caught up in our own lives that we turn a blind eye to these things.

You are welcome!
Only a God (Who created all things, has the quality which allows It to be conscious of all which is going on everywhere.
Only the Author wrote the story. However, in THIS story--life--the difference is that billions of us have the power to CHANGE the story to suit ourselves.
But the outcome has to be always the same, which the Author wrote. And that is the only thing I ever heard...is just to love--and be loved in return.
Listen to what you are being told here, Dear Dulce. It could very well be The Author/Creator, talking to you...through a human.
Oh yes, I forgot (got on the soapbox again...see what happens? Forgetting!). There are NEVER crowds like that on beaches in SW Florida. SO much more room to "play". yeah!
In the first shot, that was some kind of invasion, you don't regularly see that everyday.
D-wow! makes Normandy look like a picnic! and yes, I think we have become immune to calamities and death. So flooded by the media. Only those closest can affect. ~rick
Hi everyone!
It seems you think the first photo was taken in one of the beaches round here. Nope
It's from Google images.All of them are.
Although I must admit we get some crowds like this on some hot Sundays...
Thanks for your comments
i guess its not indifference, its due to mental connection.. its natural that you will connect more to the people of your neighbourhood than people from a distant continent.
