He absurd what happened Sunday during the last race of Moto2 San Marino Grand Prix. Continuing to run despite a competitor of that race, the nineteen Shoya Tomizawa, had died during the same is something that should prompt anyone to get angry. I listened to radio in the statements of Valentino Rossi. He stated that it would just stop, only to comment on the outcome of the race from the sporting point of view. At that point, I had the feeling that the unfortunate choice to continue to run us fall away just in time to the beating of wings. Only a day or so. Then off into oblivion. Normality. The death of a young man disappears in front of the commercialization that surrounds any kind of show, and every kind of show. Everything becomes attributable to the ordinary of events. Stopping the race would not have brought back to life, I've heard. But it would be a way to remember. It's like saying you do not need to commemorate the victims of killings and massacres because they do not revive.
Thus, information that often directs behavior and customs has actually gone along with the ubiquitous show must go on, with the death of a boy reduced to little more than a fact. In the narrative events is even more room to comment on the outcome of the race - the fact - not for death - now only done in Done. The circuses of the twenty-first century have been a very, weighing more than sad events like death and breakage. However, being deeply convinced of the respect it deserves every single individual in its myriad manifestations, a mere ordinariness outstanding episode for me is unacceptable. Just as it is unacceptable in the news every day having to attend to a numerical list of people who died in circumstances far more dramatic. From Baghdad to Kabul, numbers, statistics, things and not people. That's how you reduce the importance eyes of the public of those broken lives. As cattle cars, those numbers are part of a sterile list that does not add nothing to those figures. One way to pervert that deserves absolute respect for the individual, as man and as bearer of a personal history. It should instead given back to the power of language, words, the narration of facts. Tell a story without the wishes of the powerful. We must guide the indignation and outrage necessary to bring anyone to rebel against the dictatorship of the media and economic subjects - like the lady who was behind the motorcycle race - they only care about profit. Extremism must be stopped for any reason of state can do everything butcher and all just to keep alive a dirty web of interests. It would be a way to remember, to remember, not to fall into the temptation that we should never stop in front of the death of a person in the name of any interest, especially if insipid as that of a tender of a game, an idle moment.
time ago there was shocked, but not condemned, because some swimmers continued to enjoy their day at the beach even though there was a corpse on the beach. But these facts are all children of one behavioral approach, one that reduces man a thing, object and not the ever rising person. Selfishness and self seem to dominate in an orgy of materialistic ruthlessness. Are convinced that in this post-modernism, has become even posthumanism, we must fight to restore the middle man, his dignity, his subjectivity, regardless of role in society and beyond any interest.
