"Japan does not believe in tears? The real Mr. K


Is it possible, beyond purely cultural reasons, suppress the cry in panic, shortages and fears of a radioactive catastrophe?
At the time of this writing, the victims of the earthquake, the tsunami disaster and radioactive in Japan may, according to official figures exceed 15 000. This high number of deaths and the circumstances that have occurred disasters occurred in sensitive and non sensitive spirits much pain.
Crying is an outpouring of tears that is accompanied usually with cries and sobs and is caused by a strong emotional state, as for example pain, joy or impotence. The images that the media have presented these days in Japan have been more poignant than eloquent, and produced an international consternation. To this must be added the fear that the collapse Fukushima nuclear power plant and release clouds of deadly radiation.
pressure and stress that the Japanese-a traditionally disciplined contemplative and-feel is definitely very big and should have brought them emotionally broken. However, the images of television and print media photographs show more well-with some exceptions, to human beings do not despair, living aftershocks with a certain stoicism and in some cases, such as the 180 workers who try to avoid a greater danger in Fukushima, played with astonishing coldness of life for others. It is as if they were educated and trained for their entire lives to the sacrifice.
in similar tragic situations such as earthquakes of Pisco, Haiti, Chile or the tsunami in Thailand, the "normal" is the display of images of death and despair in the faces of the survivors, seasoned by the media sensationalism that corrupts everything. Journalists, however, leave no wonder that this is not repeated now among the Japanese. A major television network International asked a few days ago a group of young Nipponese about what they felt and thought about the tragedy of his country. They said that all he wanted was to get to work. Nothing cries and lamentations.
Why Japanese do not cry? wonder reporters who cover the scene, and those who look from afar and hear what is happening in the Asian country. Miguel A. Christopher Carle, a psychologist consulted by the English newspaper El Mundo, attributed this situation to the Japanese culture. Explain that they hide themselves or contain their negative emotions of respect and not to offend those who surround. For the Japanese culture of emotion and pain may intrude or increase the suffering of others, which would violate the codes of social order based on respect for others and well-functioning social group.
This means that as the British have been trained to control their emotions, positive or negative, the Germans to cultivate the rigidity and perfectionism, the French to show their passion and imagination, the Japanese have been taught for thousands of years to keep skate strong emotions or even to self immolate if the honor is involved. Does this mean they are unable to suffer or mourn? Of course not.
Psychologists say that the Japanese have been in pain and suffer like everyone else. Japan television recently showed three scenes of great impact: the first showed the rescue of a four months old in the midst of general excitement in the second sentence of a dog survivor who refused to abandon a dying partner and the third birth of a child crying in the middle of the parents. These were circumstances in which the tears of the citizens were natural, spontaneous and in some ways, were beyond cultural traditions. After all, humans are the only species who cries because of the emotions.
I am outraged that some media delve by the absence of crying among the Japanese for purely commercial reasons. Expect this to happen to better sell their goods (information) and to tune in better with the illness of the people. This proves the level of stupidity that can reach humans. If the Japanese are going to show their grief more openly, I guess this will be so gradually, for natural reasons, is a free, spontaneous and as aware of the absurd and regrettable that life is sometimes. And not because the media want.

The latest victim of ETA

"Today has dawned a beautiful day. The cool morning reminded us that it is still winter, but the sun was shining on high and beat in his daily battle to undo mist. A potentially idyllic day, a perfect natural scenery at the time, were it not that when looking north is perceived in the distance, a red sky and the sound of several shots to treason. ETA is wrong again. " On March 17, 2010 he wrote those lines in a post titled "They are wrong (again)." ETA had killed hours earlier in Dammarie-lès-Lys Jean-Serge Nerina, thus adding four new orphans in their macabre list of nonsense y atrocidades.

Doce meses después, Nérin continúa siendo la última víctima mortal de la organización terrorista. Y mi esperanza es que ese gendarme mantenga dicha condición para el resto de los tiempos. Que dentro de otro año, de un lustro, de una década, de un siglo, de un milenio, él siga siendo recordado como la última víctima de ETA.

Aunque el desenlace concreto de la trama excede mi voluntad, mi deseo es que ésa sea la conclusión. Ojalá me sea concedido.

A comprehensive biography and full of surprises us discover the next "liar" by Ryszard Kapuscinski, a reporter contemporary myths.
From the 70's, reports, reviews and profiles of Ryszard Kapuscinski, one of the largest in the world according to Gabriel García Márquez became a cult and were cited constantly to settle any controversy that called into question the literary value of newspaper articles.
The celebrity of this Polish journalist was expanded so that grazed the legend. Contributed to this translation into various languages \u200b\u200bof their most famous books: Shah, Empire, Ebony and The Soccer War, in which he displayed his talent keen observer to tell the misery of power, the fall of real socialism, the delay and hope for Africa and the absurdity of colonialism, as well as a systematic and well managed zeal about his private life.
When the existence of a person reaches the point where fiction and reality become blurred, the search for truth becomes dangerous, since it means that violate common sense considered "true" or "true" without need no demonstration. "Kapu"-the nickname with which American students knew him-was this, and until recently, an untouchable.
After the death of a celebrity two things can happen: the biography transmuted into myth or the myth begins to deflate like a balloon filled with air, the enemies or malquerientes-envy, impotence or mediocrity-like jab any means. Ryszard Kapuscinski has happened with something. In 2007, occurred a few months after his death, the condemned in the past accused him of having collaborated with the secret services of the Polish Communist regime, have moved with interest calculated in the jungle of political and personal reality have makeup for their books look more interesting. Who
Ryszard Kapuscinski was really? Gabriel García Márquez says that all people have a public life, one private and one secret, which means that existence is composed of the sum of these many lives. Thanks to the non fiction biography Kapuscinski just released Domoslawski Artur, who was his disciple and friend in the last years of his life, now we know there was a single Ryszard Kapuscinski, although fragmented into multiple masks and behaviors according to how assumed the circumstances of reality. This portrait, far to denigrate it again, I think, more authentic.
Kapuscinski is a non fiction book heretic, but not at odds with the truth. The sources used are documentary, testimonial and rigorous. Through them, the author tries to approach the depth of character. Undoubtedly shed light on it, but it also shows in some sense a hand "liar" in his personality. VS Naipaul argues that the life of every writer "is a legitimate area of \u200b\u200bresearch, and should not ignore the truth about him." Domoslawski know very well, although this has meant dealing with the widow of his subject and the many members of the "kapufilia" which has been quick to ask for his head. The book identifies
legends: his father was imprisoned for Soviet occupation of Poland was not about to be shot in the Congo, Che never met or was a friend of Patrice Lumumba and Salvador Allende. Reveals facts somewhat inexcusable: it collaborated with the Polish intelligence services in the hardest time, hide his communist past when it suited him, not never openly criticized the Communist regime for fear that prevented him from traveling abroad, was quickly seconded the motion reformer led by Lech Walesa and the Solidarity union ie, passed quickly from red to reformer. And recounts in detail a fascinating life: the reporter who wrote with a baroque style and passionate; privileged witness of the miseries of the world and the human being that can not be blamed for being himself. Kapuscinski
non fiction biography is stark, but never offensive. However, do not make a dent in the greatness journalism Kapuscinski. For those who never saw him as a guru or an oracle, he remains the reporter who knew how to reach the hearts of readers, who wrote fluently, sent to hell "objectivity", he cultivated a plain style and sharp and was at the same time, intelligent and brilliant in the narrative of social events. This is the Ryszard Kapuscinski we admired and still admire.

A really fits (REDEFINING THE ABSURD)

Cuando pensaba en el absurdo pensaba en Samuel Beckett, en Vladimir y Estragón esperando pacientes y esperanzados a Godot, pero desde el viernes There is another image that comes to mind. Of some ladies (and gentlemen) claiming to end the violence must be allowed to roam murderers, extortionists and other criminals. I know you have doubts about their strident demands, after the scandal logical, but that has not been erased from my hard drive neuronal.

Some have wanted to loop the loop of terror. Although that is building carnival, disguise it with insulting language, referring to the "smoke police effectiveness" as a Machiavellian intent to "spread fear among the Basque people." Anyone afraid to lose ability to carry ETA attacks and pay for their crimes?

The conclusion is that there are positions that are still capable of leaving me stunned. Despite the familiar grounds of Catholicism in our society, does anyone really believe that crimes and atrocities that have caused so much suffering can be compensated with two Hail Marys? Until the day of reckoning, accounts bow to human justice.

the song already. Bad news, the apple is rotten, you thought the snake, too bad. If you did not do is what you wanted, by the fountain or the pitcher broken, the verdict is cast: Support your cross.
