Lagrimas

Tears of Shame Beware of over-romanticizing awkwardness of a rich nation which cries over lost puppies but takes no interest of starving children in poorer countries, the foreign doesn´t stir the heart into action. Yes, the slushiness nation sees them, the dead, bloodied children, yet sees them not. Few life pictures are shown on TV death tallies mentioned in a hasty manner. Is there a conspiracy of silence? A new medicine that keep old people active longer catches the interest, Not to forget the lovely story of a disappeared cat that found its way back home after two years, and its tearful old owner.
