Maybe I read to much, maybe I just get to much information. I just feel overwhelmed by what is happening out here in the world. Through the internet, newspaper and CNN/BBC I have access to the worlds disasters, war, genocide and latest starlet gossip. I mostly get the suffering and the stupidity of the human race. Sometimes I get lucky and there is a story that inspires hope, but mostly I get information about the world going down.
There are big floods in Mexico and in Vietnam. Volcanoes are stirring in Indonesia, a power grasp in Pakistan and the tragedy of 103 children in Chad who apparently were being abducted by an organization called Zoe’s ark, while the news of last week is old news and we forget all that was then because we move on and focus somewhere else.
All the issues that are kept in front of our mind seem to be the Afghanistan and Iraq war, Global warming. Swiss news I neglected all together. Living in Thailand I focus more on the local and regional happenings. I do realize I have a momentous overkill. I know I can decide and select. But I’m just to curious a person to not to get informed. I am also aware that I cannot change anything.
The good thing is that I leave for the mountains for a view days again. Time to calm down and to reflect.
