"I know this is the time of year when we're supposed to be giving thanks and dwelling on the nobility of the human soul.
But as a lead-up to the holidays, a young man committed suicide on webcam while people watched, commented and lampooned him for twelve hours before someone thought to get help for him. And Black Friday kicked off at one Walmart with shoppers smashing through a door and trampling a holiday employee to death, actually stepping over his prone body to get to the bargains.
It's as if either people don't understand the things they're witnessing, or simply don't care. And I'm not sure which is worse."

que sombrio. há egoismo em todo o lado. numa época que prima pelos valores opostos, faz com certeza maior eco esse tipo de situação. de qualquer forma, é inevitável não estar mais sensibilizado para a necessidade do outrém, alem de nós próprios. e se não for assim, o que seria se não fosse natal! pior um pouco.
