So, on Thursday I get all het up about the situation in Gaza. I tell the world to talk instead of use force. I get profound about the need to communicate with words not bombs.
All very good.
I see that someone has left a comment about my blog. I open the blog, expecting some deep, thought-provoking comment which will either support or refute my views.
What do I get by way of support for my cause? Who comes on my side and says "I'm with you - let's change the world!"
Nobody.
Instead Jose, from somewhere in Mexico, says "Hi, greetings from Mexico". That's all. No profound comment. No world-shattering remedy for the Israeli-Palestinian situation. Just some lonely prat who probably has not even read the blog and is just looking for someone to talk to.
Get out and get a life Jose. Start by looking at the world around you instead of just a the screen in front of you. That way you may even get to understand that you, among all of us, are a real human being under all that cyber-pseudo-world you inhabit.
Prats like Jose make me wonder if it is worthwhile commenting at all on the world around me. And then I feel moved to start a charity to help poor helpless souls who don't know of any world outside their computer screens!
