Hoy luego de hacer ejercicios con mi pareja nos fuimos a la parada del colectivo a esperar, frente mio habia una policia mujer con al parecer su hijo, quien tambien esperaban la misma linea que nosotros. Lamentablemente en la calle, una pobre paloma fue abatida por un auto, principalmente el primer golpe la lastimo, y desgraciadamente para mi la mire a los ojitos, y senti el dolor por un momento que ella sentia, a los segundos otro auto la impacta, acabando con su dolor.
Today, after exercising with my partner, we went to the bus stop to wait. Across from me was a policewoman with what appeared to be her son, who were also waiting for the same bus line as us. Sadly, a poor pigeon was hit by a car in the street. The first impact injured it, and unfortunately for me, I looked into its eyes and felt its pain for a moment. Seconds later, another car hit it, ending its suffering.
Creo y creia en ese momento que eso era lo mejor, acabar con su dolor, lamentablemente sabemos que en estas ocaciones no se suelen recibir gratis a una paloma en una veterinaria, y sin cuidado termina viviendo de una forma muy lamentable y, con la mejor de las suertes, acabando con el dolor como en esta ocacion. Lo que tambien me perturbo fue como la policia reacciono, seguramente para el cuidado del niño que con ella estaba
I believe, and believed at the time, that this was the best thing to do, to end her suffering. Unfortunately, we know that in these situations, a pigeon isn't usually taken to a vet for free, and without proper care, she ends up living a very miserable life, and, with the best of luck, her suffering is finally put to rest, as in this case. What also disturbed me was how the police reacted, presumably out of concern for the child who was with her.
Si bien la hipocrecia es pan de todos los dias, y vemos como nos indigna quiza ciertas cosas mas que otras, como decia el filosofo Nietzsche: "Si matas una cucaracha eres un héroe. Si matas una hermosa mariposa, eres malo. La moral tiene criterios estéticos", con esto quiero decir, la mujer policia porta un arma, con la cual esta "calificada" para matar, reducir, herir, lastimar, a un ser humano que "atente contra la normalidad", pero entonces porque nos resignamos en un sufrimiento selecctivo, no ver el problema de la raiz y siempre descalificar, por ejemplo, al quien roba para comer, herido de bala o una mujer que murio por ejemplo en estados unidos por un policia quien antes de escapar, le disparo dos veces...
While hypocrisy is commonplace, and we see how certain things perhaps outrage us more than others, as the philosopher Nietzsche said: "If you kill a cockroach, you are a hero. If you kill a beautiful butterfly, you are evil. Morality has aesthetic criteria." With this I mean, the policewoman carries a weapon, with which she is "qualified" to kill, subdue, wound, or injure a human being who "threatens the norm." But then why do we resign ourselves to selective suffering, failing to see the root of the problem and always condemning, for example, someone who steals to eat, someone wounded by a gunshot, or a woman who died, for instance, in the United States at the hands of a police officer who shot her twice before fleeing...
Obviamente no estoy diciendo que exclusivamente esta policia de quien me hago referencia haria lo mismo que estos lamentables humanos matando a alguien por evadir un control de la ICE, aunque siempre la gente de este tipo esta llena de odio (contra los demas), pero que tambien replican eso en los suyos, no logro entender la hipocrecia... hipocrecia moral con la que la gente se mueve en el mundo, matando a una cucaracha por "miedo" o "asco", pero dejando entrar a una hermosa mariposa. Aprovechando la situacion, les recomiendo este libro de este filosofo para terminar la publicacion... un saludo
Obviously, I'm not saying that only this particular police force I'm referring to would do the same as these deplorable people killing someone for evading an ICE checkpoint. While people like this are always full of hatred (towards others), they also project that hatred onto their own people. I can't understand the hypocrisy... the moral hypocrisy with which people operate in the world, killing a cockroach out of "fear" or "disgust," but letting a beautiful butterfly in. Taking advantage of the situation, I recommend this book by this philosopher to conclude this post... Best regards.
