Having an account on a social network can be a torture.
As Jeremy Rifkin says in his latest "The civilization of empathy" interconnect these tools are helping to expand globally, but a real sense of empathy, at least what he calls a sense of empathic distress . In essence it is true that we are far from the ability to identify the state of mind of another person, and therefore understanding of it (the true and complete empathy) when it is across the globe, it is equally true that the vision of the suffering of others makes us feel uncomfortable, makes us feel bad; hurts us. Research on mirror neurons gave an explanation to this phenomenon also on the biological basis: one part of our brain is made just to prove to us what others feel.
E 'fair of horrors, venghino gentlemen!
It either exposes the suffering of any animal, including humans.
A showcase for all forms of human deviation, and dedicated to inflict suffering from boredom, challenge, delight, becere dealt for customs and cultural traditions, could not miss, even for horrific forms of sexual pleasure.
These days I'm wondering how far you have to go in the use of 'virtual public square' to combat these aberrations. And I must admit that I can not strike a satisfactory balance.
Knowledge is important. Moreover, it is essential. Work to create awareness is the highest mission of all the initiatives that Dog's Soul carries on relationships with animals. In this sense a complaint on Facebook becomes an invaluable tool. For example, if you know that a slice of veal from milk purchased at the supermarket is the result of a lifetime of suffering and hardship to give you a whiter flesh .... well you know! the slice do not you eat, choose another. And here it is not all become vegetarians, it is know to choose.
But really the drip of torture every day I see posted is good for my awareness? I look at the list of my friends and think, 'Who among them needs this latest dose of pain? Who benefits? '. Or maybe I am, again quoting Rifkin, only contributing to their fatigue empathetic. And, because the effort empathic consumes our emotional resources. Offset by an effort to regenerate resources but, according to Rifkin, can also dry our ability to move from empathic distress (pain that try to see the suffering) to ' true empathy. And if this happens, you are no longer useful to any cause.
When what you see is no longer needed to report or to create awareness, but only to show all the evil in the world, then there is only one way out of hatred with no ifs or buts.
Let me be clear, here we are not talking about what reactions would we see directly in torture or someone who kills an animal. And I, for one, am sure, everyone who reads this blog, I would be willing to almost everything to stop such an act, reacting with anger and determination. And I'm not even talking about a sense of love so high that allows you to offer sympathy to those, evidently disturbed, is guilty of some atrocities.
I'm talking about hatred as a reaction to a pain that you can not even understand, what makes you say 'to the death', 'torture that other' or even worse, makes you doubt or do you hide the beauty.
Maybe just before you sit down in front of the screen to take your daily dose of suffering you went next to your dog and you have not seen what a miracle is the fact that he slept at the foot of your bed. Or did you open the windows and what you hear come not from the tree in front of you felt it was a beautiful song, but only noise. Passive indifference in front of endless wonders and it seems normal, the beauty we live with absolute indifference.
Even this indifference is an atrocity worthy of complaint and we are a bit 'all guilty. The testimony of which is not to be carriers of the purged of evil, but rather that of the uncompromising love of beauty and goodness that I believe greatly in size the largest of the atrocities that we see published. Just want to see!
Some time ago I finished up this video that deserves to be seen through. I quote a sentence because it is an incredible tonic for those tired of suffering.
" It is thought that at times there is so much horror in the world that a little 'more or a little' less it's okay.
NOT 'TRUE !!!!!"
