Food for thought


In the last few years there have been incidents involving human beings as protagonist of serious disasters. Topics such as unexpected tragedies and natural disasters among others usually give us food for thought. These incidents are seen as significant moments which will never be forgotten by human kind.

To start with, a natural disaster caused hundred of deaths on the Asian coast. As a consequence, famine and homeless cases are gradually increasing day after day. It is widely recognised that this kind of natural disasters do not make any sort of distinction among human beings, that is to say, it can happen at any time, at any place, it does not matter wherever we are, all of us are vulnerable in front of this unexpected natural disasters.

Secondly, the lack of responsibility seems to be an issue which is very difficult to solve, or else it is insolvable. About three or four year ago there was a tragedy in which hundreds of young people lost their lives in a rock concert in Buenos Aires, Cromagnon was the eyewitness of this macabre episode.
There is no doubt that there exist shared responsibilities, that is the government which did not do anything in order to prevent this catastrophe. On the other hand the owner of Cromagnon who was more interested in selling tickets than in spectators’ safety and finally the spectators who should have been more concerned about their actions, especially those reckless parents who brought their children to death.
Many children lost their lives there because of the fire and smoke, they were enclosed in a toilet which was supposed to be a small nursery but unfortunately it was more than that, this place turned into a grave later on.

Taking everything into consideration, I strongly believe that these unexpected disasters were significant in my life. On the one hand we have natural disasters which hit the world most of the time unexpectedly, that is nobody knows when these incidents will be held, we only depend on our own destiny which is often written by the earth’s decision.
On the other hand, the lack of responsibility is an important issue to deal with. It is necessary to build up a critical thinking and admit that these kind of dramatic episodes take place due to the opportunities offered by the governmental and personal negligence.
