WORLDWIDE AMNESIA

Watching the rescue of the Chilean miners, it’s impossible not to think that if this World functioned as it does during tragedies, it would be a happy World. Floods, earthquakes, fires, hurricanes or trapped miners, and, suddenly, in a magic act, borders get erased, nationalities, differences disappear, and help rains from everywhere. Nature, hazard or human error acts, and this World becomes one with one single human race on stage. Results are always good: everybody gives, knowledge and resources are shared, solutions are found, and lives are saved. Everybody satisfied. Everyone sees it, feels it, and enjoys it. But then, once the tragedy is over, amnesia lands. Everyone turns around and get back into his or her cavern in search of a way to improve their lives or change the World… They have just seen it but again out of a magic act, they forget. It is a very strange phenomenon, very strange./SYLVIA DAVILA MORALES®
