Reflexions of an old young of spirit and heart (Second extract)
When our old man, young person of spirit finds one moment of rest, it likes to meditate on the fate of the world,
by whispering with low voice his thoughts, even if he is alone in his room. One can hear him if he is with some steps of him. Here are what I intended him to say once:
- the world became insane. There are many wars, many catastrophes, enough of pandemics and incurable diseases. One did not know what happen nowadays. There was the plague, the typhoid, the cholera, but the mediums or these epidemics were propagated were repugnant and favorable with this type of diseases. Today, despite everything progress in the field of medical research and the hygienic precautions taken, we are surprised by fatal diseases. The man fights to date against the AIDS, or the avian flu. They are diseases without borders.
But what is nauseating, it is the anarchy of the contemporary world in all the social, economic and cultural fields. The social disparities are humiliating and indicate of a vanity of affluent in front of the misery of stripped. The gap widens more and more and one comes very near to social fraction in many societies.
I do not dare to say that the last wars of times were honest, because one fought oneself with equal weapons, by complying with the rules of the engagements: do not to draw on the back from somebody, not to kill him if he is disarmed, to maintain it well if it is made prisoner of war… Or in sums us today, when one launches an atomic bomb on cities, or when one praises the performances of the missiles known as intelligent, and that if they make innocent victims, one finds all the excuses to justify the vexations of strike fatal. You saw certainly the confusing scenes who are the prisoners by army corps are victims. No, these modern wars are not honest
