I wanted to say that I trashed newspapers forever, but that might be a bit too far fetched.
It's kind of hard to never ever read a magazine article again or some news when you log out of on e-mail account. But sometimes one can get really pissed off by the same moronic things discussed [though this word might be too much for what is actually going on].
Nowadays you cannot talk about anything anymore, cannot really make a statement and reach a final point on certain things, because you need to take into consideration so many things, like being politically correct, think about every possible culture and civilization on earth and how they see life and so on. I admit I'm sometimes frustrated when in the middle of a conversation someone tells me "but if you think about people in XYZ". But wait a minute, were we talking about them? Was I missing the whole conversation or what? From time to time I just feel that it's hard to cope with globalization.
On the other hand, if someone chooses [even if not] to go to another country, they should adapt to that culture, to the local habits. And not try to enforce their own home-country culture. That should stay in the perimeter of one's home. Although we go global now, peoples should not lose their identity, each country, territory, should try to maintain it's own flow of the ancestors.
We celebrate diversity, but with respect to the roots that we want to mingle with.
I've noticed that breastfeeding is a major issue lately. Because it suggests nudity? or it is sexual?
Children are exposed to much information - news, movies, violence, sex etc. But they don't know these things until we teach them. It is in our heads that breastfeeding has something to do with sex. Children don't know that until we teach them that, teach them our own fears, our own obsessions.
If they can watch documentaries about reproduction and life cycle in animal's existence, why can't they learn about their own species as well?
It's a real problem... what is natural and part of our lives is transformed in such a disturbing way.
Nothing much will change while we keep repeating the same decisions, good or bad.
There won't be a better world while we teach our children the same things that we were taught.
We need to be natural about what's natural. Stop thinking about it and just live it as it is.
And ... should these falsities, these disturbed interpretations, be considered part of a certain culture? Should this freedom of thought be an argument for globalization? That would be a desperate attempt. Regardless of the place where we are born, we were conceived the same way, born the same way, nurtured the same way, because first of all, we are human, all of us. And on top of that we then build our societies.
