This thread is about 2 things.
One... Watching the news, tv shows etc I get to the point that people can't accept the fact that, from time to time, bad things happen and You just have to accept it. They always trying to find someone to blame for it, and recompensation.
If You fall on the floor and break your leg - You should accept the fact that sometimes things like this happen, and carry on, not to sue the workers who constructed the pavement.
If someone dies during operation, it's part of the risk, and even if the surgeon could have done something better, if he didn't do something VERY wrong, You can't blame them. I know it's easy to say, but c'est la vie. People forget about it.
People think we should live forever and nothing bad should happen to us. People were spoiled by medical care, long life average etc. Recently a reknown polish politician died in a car crash. A tragedy. One of the ladies said it's a pity, but she guesses that all greats must die young. Young? He was 75 or so. I understand her. I want my parents to live forever. And all of my family and friends. But **** happens. It must happen.
He could have lived longer. 90? 120? perhaps. But he was still lucky to live longer than polish average.
People stopped treating death and calamities as something natural. A person gets drowned - it's in the news. It's just the way of life, nothing to be suprised with.
The same is when it comes to army deaths. People volunteer for a mission in Iraq - yet they are very unhappy that they are in risk of dieing there. It's natural. But so is dieing on a war.
It is all strange, that the bigger supply of human life there is, the biggest price for it there seems to be.
It's because our society became so safe. Almost every borned child lives through, even disabled ones. Society and state protect us from dieing and killing others (
) in numerous ways.
People are dieing less and later than they used to. So they are treating it as their right, instead of priviledge.
It's like with every policy and ideology, it becomes a caricature of itself and leads to its own distruction. And when it does perish, again there's place for it to grow. Like with animal population, which grows until it goes beyond the limits of what enviroment can support, die out in large numer in result of hunger, and then rebuilds itself:
social support for elderly --> more elderly and less children (because You don't need children to support you in elderly age anymore. Also, it's You who supports yourself, so you have to work, and invest in yourself, not your children) --> lack of money for social support for elderly...
Do the humanity have to get into the second part of the cycle I've mentioned to realise that it demands too much, from the state, from life, from reality?
