Once a member encouraged me to write a blog, actually it's long time I don't post any but I felt lazy or simply didn't know what to write about. 'Just look around you' she told me, so I'll describe the social environment I feel sometimes with a sort of funny story. You can judge it after reading...
"...This morning I woke up, opened my bedroom window and saw everything was covered by a thick layer of snow, how beautiful...!! I was happily watching the view and couldn't help going out and make a snowman, so I made it but then a feminist walking on the sidewalk saw my snowman and asked me why I didn't make a snow-woman too, so I made the snow woman also but then the homosexual neighbors told me that's discriminatory, I should have made two snowmen with same gender not to offend this collective. Just minutes later the vegans of the neighborhood complained about the carrot-nose of the snowmen stating that carrots are food to eat not for playing or decorating figures. When I got into my house again someone reported me saying I'm a racist because the snowman is white and the snow-woman should wear covering her head. Some later the lawyer of the feminist knocked my door requiring to take the brush out of the snow-woman because it categorise women into a domestic role. It was not all since later on an ecologist organisation phoned accusing me of polluting the snow and police pointing me for raising problems in bad weather conditions.
Tired of the f...* horrible day I decided to chill on my sofa and watching T.V. when I realised I appeared on news program as a suspected sexist, troublemaker, racist, chauvinist, terrorist with homophobic sense..."
Obviously this is an exaggerated but graphic story of a raising susceptibility in the society supported by an insatiable media I see around me sometimes getting to the point of the absurd and ridiculous, not to hurt someone's sensibilities. Of course this can not be generalised in everywhere, every country or any society. Just hope no one misunderstand me or the story :)

Every day I visualize our world as perfect and as peaceful as possible, to persuade myself that we live and move in a safe and secure world. Unfortunately, the reality is the complete opposite. Some people nowadays take things too extreme, which in my opinion is wrong. Thanks for sharing your nice view with us. God bless you.
Indeed. There're days that I'd better stay in bed and forget the world and its residents.
Sure... do what you wish and thanks for your advice about the rainbow.
Listen to your heart. If I were there at that time, I would ask you to take a picture of me and your snowman.
I wonder if there's something in your reply hidden between lines hmm... I d take the picture in such case, no worries.
Como estas senior Estanis! Your story reminds me of the donkey and his owner. Once upon a time, a man was riding his donkey. The people saw him and said, "Oh, look at this man, he is riding on his donkey and giving him a headache.". The man heard them and dismounted from the donkey and carried it. Again, the people said, "What a stupid guy, why doesn't he carry his donkey instead of walking with it'. The man heard them and alighted from the donkey and began walking with it. People started to talk again and again. He should have done so and so.
Mr. Estanis, people will never stop talking. no matter what you do to them. By the way, how is your family, and the rest of your friends? The project is still taking a lot of my time. I do not have enough time for many things. Thanks for sharing a nice topic.
Nahh... you know I'm not. I've like a sixth sense and use to guess right with people ;D
You're exaggerating, my friend.
