There are so many things I'd like to talk about, that I don't know how to start... random ideas coming to my head and going away in fractions of seconds...
Obama comes to my mind, I don't know what to think... well it would be more accurate to say that I just think he could be the best thing to happens, but also many times I believe he might not. First of all, he is just a human being, meaning imperfection and most importantly, meaning that there are many 'gods' watching him. Will he challenge them like others, before him, did?
The American consumers, I mean... citizens, fortunately voted for him and some sense arisen after many years of evilness. I am delighted Obama is there, but not necessarilly because I believe in him; it tells me that there is hope, hope for many people who never thought it would come the day where race would not matter to became a president of the U,S; for sure it was just what America and the World urgently needed. However,a skeptic free-thinking mind would/could thing, how convenient...
What puzzles me, is that he was just awarded with the Nobel Prize. Again, please don't get me wrong, and in a way of talking, I would that, we just have met him five minutes ago (or kind of) And he already has the Nobel? Maybe I am missing something, but I am sure there is a whole lot of people in the World who have been working on making this planet a better place far longer than Obama's age. I’m not saying he does or would not deserve it, he might, I don't know, and Iam not intending to judge him on this matter, because it becomes irrelevant when I thing on the reason behind it. However, why didn't they wait a bit longer? Mother Teresa dedicated her whole life before getting hers!
Beside, he is not just an individual, he represents a country that has commited many doubtfull acctions againts humanity in many parts of the world, a country that has financed wars and produces the weapons used by children in those countries where children dont have the right of a childhood. A country that allows their citizens to have weapons because they dont trust each other, because that is what they have learnt, that is what they have been taught
I just don't think winning another prize will make him better, at least to my eyes, than what he really is (as good as he might be) , meaning that I don't think he need to much circus around him, and all this Nobel prize is just circus stuff.
Why don't you guys talk about the changes in global politics and stop the atrocities committed every day by the big corporations? Why don't you work to eradicate poverty? why don't you stop the aconomical expansion that is making the por poorer and the rich richer?
There is one thing that is making me believe in Obama; his intention on making a better health policy in America it is a step that has to be made and followed by the rest of super capitalist countries, in which the poor, if sick, is not 'profitable' anymore. If we think about it, for capitalism, is convemient not to have a good health sistem. Why? with out a health system, will be easier to get rid of them. Let's not forget that in a monetary system, and specially capitalism, everything, absolutely everything is mesured by money. Doctors cure for money, and therefore make us sick also for money; same situation with the big farmaceutical corporations.
Now comes to my head when I was around 15. My best friend needed to removed a couple of front theeth that were badly placed. I could not forget the two different opinions by the two different dentists; One wanted to put every kind of braces for a long period of time and then ...what ever, while the other said to just remove them, an move on, as there was no need for anything else. Their parents decided to go for the easier and cheaper option. Today my friend has great teeth and never had to remove any tooth again.
A quite funny story, at least to me, comes to my head and in this ocassion, it was me the object of manipulation; I was eighteen and I have decided to have a nose job, why? to answer that I will need to post another story. To the point, I eventually got a new nose,and was really happy with the result. I was young and finally, had no complex at all! On one of my visits to the doctor, and few weeks after my operation, I arrived to his office, and for first time my hair was taken on a pony-tale, I was so happy I could show my profile and not feeling embarased by doing it, not thinking that people would thing such big nose I had. The doctor's secretary, who happens to be his wife, was as lovely as ever and before I was living the doctor's office she said: now we could do your ears too! While she was touching and puching them towards the back of my head!! I would normally say something, probably not very pleasant, back to her, but I did not; I was shocked. Thankfully I did not grow any complex on that one, however I became aware of two universal truths: Firstly, that my ears are not the best feature of my anthomy but, believe me, they are not ugly either. And secondly, there are people there willing to do what ever it takes, even make you believe what is not real just for money.
The same way they make us believe we are ugly or fat, they make us believe we have enemies, they make us believe, wherever we live, that we are the good and the others are the bad. They make us believe there is a Good (christian, islamic, indu) that protect us if we give him money. Look at the batican, for instance. If there was a God, he would have no religion and no race.
