From their homes with electricity and tidy, rich look without wanting the horror of his neighbors, the poor, a few miles to sleep on the sidewalks, without food or water to defend that nothing ruins resemble their homes. seems a Manichean description and unfair, but it is not. It's true. In tragedies like the earthquake in Chile are the poor who suffer most are those who saved for years for those losing their homes, their belongings, their comforts for which both fought, but also much enjoyed.
On both sides of the city, rich and poor has ask why life rewards some and punishes others. And at the heart of many appears to blame and the desire to help offset some of this injustice is not the fault of anyone individual or the rich or the poor, than it is to shake and destroy nature, the sea that feeds us and recreates us uninvited visit earth entire villages taking with him.
Interestingly, these differences young people live more naturally, become volunteers, they visit at night to families now living in the streets with water bottles and candles, milk for children, with body fat of your breasts, which stay in their homes.
richest adults are afraid to relate to poverty if not in an organized and bounded.
- How I dress, how to get there, what am I saying? "Says a lady.
- What if I attack? "Says a man.
- Do not be too shallow to take champagne lunch and go to help the homeless at night? -Reflection thoughtful another lady.
- What if I want to come to my house? As I say no, that mess, one is what it is, the mixture is impossible, "says another man.
Kids know we are all brothers, they know they do not yet have their own life, have their parents and therefore have less guilt and more illusions.
This shyness that stops the game loving and honest with one another comes from fear. Adults who live in worlds defined safe and are afraid of being different, fear that any change will put in jeopardy their ivory towers. So many women and men wanted to help in the privacy of their hearts, the first days after earthquake, where even the streets were home to so many! They preferred to make it through donations.
They missed a great opportunity to know the pain and the kindness of others. As always, fear limits us to repeat, not grow.
