Gilles Lipovetsky says we live in was vacuum where what prevails is the ephemeral-and-twitter said before, nothing lasts in vogue more than a few minutes. Our life passes in the midst of the incessant din of information served to excess, disorder and often flippantly. So much suffering a barrage of information, which we almost never learn what really matters -Usually little, but what sells . The same murder gringo teenager in a school, the downfall of the despot to cuddle yesterday and today to be useful that vile waste thrown into the depths of the sea. Yet another evil thing uttered by our leaders, the details of the downward spiral of man found in the bed of a woman who was not his ... or another man who also has a wife. For this to sell, feed the curiosity of the audience to the newspaper more serious and decent make mockery of the fallen, having no qualms about eight columns decorate the photo was taken just at the moment as a sort of Damocles sword of the media was knocking off his pedestal. And so ... every day. As if it were a drug, the endless production of gossip is creating the need for higher doses of scandals. And while the media scandals one another and feed our morbid curiosity, the things that matter happen unnoticed because their blood does not splash or glows yellow, and therefore does not sell newspapers or occupies the main note of the main news.
But if for any eventuality, you can always arise, there was no bloody good sexual gossip that always blow up ... We will announce the end of the world. Of course, never missing a stubborn and clueless (me) who knows where to go for little and not be aware of the approaching end of the world, as announced by a Gringo fundamentalist who was kind enough to ensure that the end of the world would occur May 21 (not 2012, as the prophecy says maya). And that was enough for the fanatic religious and paranoid quack-infect a large number of people. One reads a letter and first thing he asks is how can you have people who not only believed, but to give him money? [Here you can read something about it: end of the world and left us planted ]
Still, as the prophecy was for bad jokes, teasing and some other great tweet , a mentally playing with the possibilities of who, where and how to spend your last day ... if you could know the date and exact time-final final. The end of the world so close and one without doing the necessary. Without knowing more places, more books read, seen more movies, more and better loved. Going to the bat before he said, written and done so many things I had planned, without having made so many dreams.
As I write, read press releases that talk about who prepared to wait for the start of the end of the world like the new year in question. I read and think of myself that I learned to walk somewhat uninformed of the end of the world almost to the day before and is therefore no chance I had to buy, let alone a bottle of Dom Perignon ... not even for a red panties enjoy the end of the world with sick passion. I mean, yellow favoring money ... and why. The only thing I thought was a desirable scenario for the final time: the sea ... to say goodbye world by the sea ...
