It's already New Year's Eve, it's been a very long year, in fact it has been a day longer. London has hosted the Olympic Games and the world hasn't ended on December 21st. A lot of things have happened this year, but today everything ends, today a new year is starting. However, shouldn't we be scared of the world carrying on as it is?
The world hasn't died, the human race hasn't become extinct; for the mayas their 13th era has finished and now it is time for the 14th to begin, with this change of era our way of thinking has to change.
Maybe this ancient civilitation was right in this aspect. Are we really sure that the end of the world hasn't started yet? If we open our eyes and set aside our hypocrisy we'll see all the bad things that happen around us. Poverty, evictions, killings...
Can we allow this to happen? In Ciudad Juárez, in México, more than 3042 killings occurred in 2011 and it doesn't end here. In Caracas there were 3804 killings and in Medellín 2019.
Is this any better? In 2011 alone there were 58241 evictions registered , all of those people living in the street, without any means of support, having to search for food in the rubbish for something to eat.
There are a lot of things like these happening around us, so we have to stop and think: is it really going to be a happy new year?
