I've been feeling like s**t lately. I've had a lot of free time, and while that's good, I've been thinking too much. Yes. Too much.

I'm sick of reading everyday tragic news about hundreds of people dying all over the world. Why is that? I don't know, I don't understand, I don't think anyone does.

Problems. They pop out everywhere...or perhaps they've always been there. I wonder if peace is ever actually going to happen. Is conflict a normal human-status? Does that not change with "our development"?

There's so much beauty in human nature... how can we be such kind beings and such monsters at the same time???

Amazingly enough, the "war" in Irak is still not over. Nor will it be any time soon. Irak is in chaos, a chaos that's gotten a lot worse with the UK and US occupation, but that was there long before. Internal conflicts and a violent past. I often think about the people of Irak. It's so unfair. What have they even known? What will they ever get the chance to know? Those who survive this bloodshed will probably be filled with resentment. Who can blame them? But at the same time, this leads us to a vicious circle. This is never going to stop, unless we forget. But is that a possibility? Who knows.

Africa's situation gets worse everyday. The problems there can't even be described. It's a mixture of everything... poverty, corruption, power abuse, religion conflicts, cruel diseases, tribe conflicts, progressive lack natural resources, isolation, discrimination...the list could go on and I don't even know much about anything.

My beloved Latin America... so mistreated. Ever since we were "built" by europeans, we've been corrupt, selfish, discriminating... it doesn't seem to stop. Human traffic is a common bussiness: there's not enough being done to fight it(how strange). Specially Central America is threaten by organized crime and drug traffic keeps empowering. I almost lost it when in the economist I found one of the largest "maras" the mara 18 had a web site. HOW CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE? I had to cry. Only the thought of those criminals being a literal network that keeps expanding and reading their chat rooms and guest book gave me the creeps, it's awful. Something MUST be done soon, strong measures. That's what this madness needs.

The conflict in the Middle East grows by the hour. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict doesn't seem to find it's solution, and Islam Fundamentalism keeps expanding. Ahmadineyad's aggressive attitude puts his whole country in danger, manipulating masses like ship. The world has seen that the US has enough power to do basically anything, not even the UN can do much about that, so, he should probably be careful.

Asia has a lot of problems as well. Repression in China, and lot of poverty, discrimination, prostitution and child explosion in practically every country.

And racism is still a big problem, in the XXI century!!! Neonazis, White pride groups... WTF?

I'm sorry if I'm a bit exalted today. I'm just amazed by the attitudes that we, rational human beings, are capable of having and dare to defend.

When did life and coexistence get to be so complicated? Has it always been like this?
