DESHUMANIZACION
Estoy en el metro,observo al alrededor un hombre obeso al que le cuesta respirar con una bolsa de Mcdonalds aceitosa entre las manos,a su lado un hombre muy delgado,lleva ropa de deporte,esta sudando mucho, se le ven las venas y los nervios,tensa la mandibula y tiene un tic de la cabeza moviendola hacia delante y hacia tras.Bajo del metro,el cambio de temperatura es increible,aire acondicionado a tope y en el anden hay humo de tanta humedad y calor. No falta el ratoncito que pasa de bajo de las vias del tren.Salgo a la calle y empiezo a correr por no llegar tarde a la clase de danza.
Despues de una dia buscando estimulos que me satisfagan,que no sean salir de compras,comer en una multinacional o gastarme lo imposible para pasarlo bien, en esta ciudad tan llena de todo y tan pobre de amor,llego a mi apartamento y tengo la fantastica idea de cocinar para comer con mis compañeras.ellas estan encantadas de la idea,y yo con mucho amor preparo una pasta a la italiana.listo!!!a comer!!!
Cada uno coge su plato y se lo lleva delante del ordena o delante de la tele o a la habitacion,y yo espantada de todo esto me pongo al ordenador tambien.
Que pasa en NEW YORK? Donde se fue el placer de una buena comida,de una buena compañia y compartir momentos de la vida con las personas???

Why is this the life so many Americans have? The spread of sweat, rotten air, mechanical air, the site of concrete, running, lights, so much stimulus even an ADHD person is overwhelmed. People walk by each other, not even noticing the other. In their own little world, their ipod world. Their cell phone world. The world where they do not have to be present, they live in no time frame but their own, separated from everyone. Where is the pleasure of good food, good company and sharing moments with people? Now it is all controlled no spontaneous adventures, no taking chances. Good company, a person can not find on the street, it is even hard to find it at home. Is it fear? Afraid of what? Is it because there is too much stimulus around that is causing people to remove themselves. But why not have dinner with your roommates? That is a cultural turn that America has occurred, TV dinners. Our culture has turned to mass media, to shows, to reality TV. It allows people to have something to talk about at work, it allows them to escape themselves and intelligence. They can zone out, become a vegetable. I believe that TV has ruined a culture that was so intimate, cared about each other, now, people do not know their neighbors, do not care about who lives next door. We have become closed. In the 1930s our diplomatic stance was isolationism, we depended on ourselves. Now our people have become isolationists within themselves as our diplomatic stance depends on everyone else. What happened and where will we go?
