Very well.
Let's have all those people go back to the basic jobs: farming, hospitality, house cleaning, call centers, waste water management, garbage collection, recycling separation, etc, and see if they are willing to do it.
Then we can have a proper conversation.
That would be the plot and film of the age.
I'm not advocating for generalized violence. My original remark wasn't about that.
I'm not pointing fingers at the woman.
What I am trying to convey is that the men taking part in whatever that was never stopped to consider they were enabling and enacting harm on another human being.
And that could be prevented, if any person could recognize the wrong in the situation. Something which, apparently, missed everyone.
I am. And the very sad conclusion I'm forced to draw is that most people don't care enough about others to prevent unnecessary and easily preventable suffering.
Like the case at hand.
The woman ended in a hospital. Maybe - just maybe! - the men participating in the stunt should had stopped for a fraction of a second to think if they were enabling and causing unnecessary suffering.
Maybe.
I might be wrong.
Loneliness affects people. And as gregariois animals we are, the closest possibility to connect, in any form, is taken.
Retirement pension maximum ceilling, fiscal reform to tax companies profits, raise minimum pension to equal minimum wage, incentivize savings. Oh, and tax people accordingly to their income.
I, you, we and thou.
As in:
"What am I doing?!"
"You're getting older, not younger."
"Let's not do this again."
"Thou have lost the little bit of reasoning you had left."
And it scares people.
Unfortunately, stupid heartless people are a dime a dozen.
I'm bothered with all the people abusing her consent.
