The heroes are dead.
Time has left the moments where staunch and noble knights rode our streets carrying flags of bravery and nobility. Now what can we hope? What gradually become what the television make us?
Unfortunately not so easy ...
are heroes because we have killed. We have gradually abandoned the ideal of a better life and transform our day to day amenities one roof with our phones, our ADSL, DTT and our more than hundreds of shit we do not need to live.
people in the street dies. No, I do not mean the higher social strata, from which you will read this probably like me sitting in a comfortable chair, I mean real street. Throughout my short and unproductive life I have seen prostitution, theft and drug addiction in much of the city, each person has a story and almost all are and will be sad, but not see the stories and characters because you are too busy, holed up in your room and fearing the street like cavemen afraid of thunder.
now you could see on the news murder genre, but I happen not to tell your partner that you want, you will see traffic accidents happen but you are not slowing down your car for not being late to work, you will see corruption policy and will not do anything .... Estais numb as Bradbury had its Fahrenheit 451 .... One of these days I lifted up the sofa, I sacudireís your scars and you will realize that there was a world outside your home that is not so great because he's gone to hell for your ineptitude.
At this stage of life society has become ungrateful. We've gone through times of social and political repression until very little and, in just 40 years, we have compromised from celibacy to debauchery. We no longer enters our mind a society that condones homosexuality as a crime we see on the news and think that this happens in countries where there is extreme freedom, and do you know what? You are right. But it ought not to forget that there has been people who have died here so that you can choose what color shirt will carry today. You no longer have to worry about if you and your girlfriend you are too hot and you start to pursue impudiencia and gray for public scandal.

know many gays and lesbians have suffered enough. Once out of the closet was something that was impossible, not only what people think, but by the illegality of being a "reversed." Today it has become a fun role-playing game for teenagers. I know too many assholes that to be modern and cool are gay, without even knowing that it is not chosen. Like too many calientabraguetas that behave as bisexual but do not conceive the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing in love with a woman.
Sometimes I think society will go down a toilet accompanied by massive erections and hard nipples ...
And this is because what you have wanted. You follow the false prophets and do not believe in anyone who has not gone on television or on the cover of a magazine. Ask a child what is his idol and I will answer that one player's style of CR or Kaka or Messi or something. But do not aspire to become them, just shall conform to desire it, dream about it ... but inside we want to fall and fail, because, believe me, if something we like to see a hero, is to see how it falls and is destroyed by the road. They will not be perfect, but at least they try.
What have you done lately that is worthy of mention? Leave home and open your eyes, dammit, the world still sucks and you're not safe alone with your TV.
"The hero is born of a hundred, a wise man is among a thousand, but a wise hero can not find even one hundred thousand" - Plato
