¿Qué pasa con el mundo?
That means "What's up with the world?" It makes me remember a song by Juanes, a Colombian singer who's very much involved with good causes, especially peace. The song, titled ¿Qué Pasa? goes something like...
What happened, I ask.
I ask what happened in the world today.
All I see in the newspapers is the same horror stories.
Lives that fade without reason.
Why is there so much war?
Why is there so much pain?
What is it, what is it, I ask.
Is there maybe no love anymore?
And instead of hugging each other,
we kill each other and we forget how to love.
What is it, I ask.
People are killing each other,
People are dying,
And I'm here still trying to understand.
What happens with the world, that is so filthy
I ask what happens with the world
Which is so absurd, which is so glum
What's going on that nothing good happens?
And peace never walks by...
After coming back from spending a wonderful afternoon with Spyder and Kanga I checked a few weblogs and Daniel's last post made me think about all the craziness. We heard that people got killed today during the Black Friday shopping. That is the most insane thing I've heard, not only because I find it stupid to go out on such a day, but because people are so into their materialistic frenzy, they simply don't think.
No, they don't think about what's been happening in India during the last couple of days. Nobody gives a crap, nobody is connected with the rest of the world. We're all here, in our little corner, safe from everything else, worried about how much turkey we were going to get for Thanksgiving, or how much money we would save to go crazy with gifts.
So yes... ¿Qué pasa con el mundo?
