Boredom transcending life. Values wiped out.

I won't use too much words. Just simple considerations, which many of you have surely made already, about two events happened in this last few weeks: the Casal Palocco affair and the Titan submarine.

How many lives destroyed by boredom!

I took two examples which caused a stir in recent weeks. But they are not the only ones.

In the first case, we are witnessing a total loss of values, and in order to impress we now have to shit upside down without getting dirty.

We are inured to whatever, our emotions are completely flattened. We live in a video game.

Pushing the limits even with useless games and challenges.

Gaining 1000 likes is more important than the respect for the others and, ironically, for oneself.

The decline not only of a generation, but of whole civilisation (I have already lingered on the fact that young people, luckily not all of them eh, are the victims of a loss of values mainly due to previous generations and to parents tolerating their children's crap too much).

In the second case, the desire to go beyond limits with extreme experiences, which is the sole prerogative of super-rich people.

I don't condemn the will to explore, to go further; this is thankfully part of human nature. But I do condemn superficiality.

What do these two cases have in common? Apparently nothing.

But the desire to achieve titanic feats exceeding our limits (in both cases) is the result of an extremely weak and bored welfare society.

How many lives destroyed by boredom (including those of people living by observing other people's lives!).
