My secret fantasy

I love watching Discovery Channel. There's this quality to their documentaries, and it always makes me feel so much for the people or issue that's being discussed. They present people and issues in the most dignified, if that's the word, way that there is never pity, but instead you feel admiration, respect and even empathy. That's the power of documentaries I guess.

It's something I regret, that I'm no good at writing, at thinking critically, at evaluating. If I was skillful enough, I would probably have thrown myself whole-heartedly into working towards a future in journalism. More so than practicing medicine, than building structures, going into another person's world, to see and understand his life, to write and report on it, to be affected by everything around, journalism is so in touch with reality, with the truth around the world, that may not be evident in our everyday life.

Ok I write gibberish-ly D:

Bulgaria's Abandoned Children.

Just finished watching this documentary. Reduced me to a pile of tears and a bundle of hatred for the soulless 'social workers'. I don't think I will ever understand how humans can be so callous. How could you see a child in pain, in complete need of care, of love and yet treat him/her as cattle, and walk away after manhandling them. It is not the lack of stimulation. It is the lack of love that has left the children in this state of despair. Didi still has so much hope to one day see her mom and love for someone who abandoned and condemned her to a life of misery. She says she's happy but always, the lingering shot shows that sadness in her eyes. She knows, her mom isn't coming back for her. But if one day her mom came, she would jump straight back into her arms. That's the problem with hope isn't it, that's the problem with humans. We want what hurts us. Hope is what kills us in the end.  Milen, the boy that never let his heart harden through all...

This is not the way i want my story to end

So tired of the routine. When will there be some spark in this life. I've lost so much dynamism over the years. Waiting for all this to end. Go out and live your life. Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end; Then the busy years went rushing by us, we lost our starry notions on the way
