Celebrating Easter
While we celebrate Easter, thousands of kids are killed all over the world in wars they don't even understand. Others are separated from their families at the border while trying to immigrate illegally; thank you to the inexcusable incapacity of their own governments to provide them with opportunities to grow in their country. Also, thank you to their parents who irresponsibly risk them there, and also thank you to a government who just don't care that they are only children and restrict their freedom to punish their parents. The whole Christian world celebrates an event that occurred almost 2,000 years ago that was supposed to change humans forever, but apparently little has evolved in the hearts of human beings, and children all over the world continue to be the victims of our lack of capacity to improve life on earth. Instead, old practices of intolerance seem to have made a comeback to the political arena worldwide, and the world is in the process of social involution. Despite all these unfortunate events, we can't lose hope that things will get better; just pray we won't need another 2,000 years for that to happen.

The Destruction of Notre Dame Cathedral
Yesterday, Europe and the whole world lived an event that will be remembered throughout history with sadness; the burning of the Notre Dame Cathedral. The 800-year-old structure which had survived the two world wars and the French revolution among other destructive events in history; burnt for hours in front of the eyes of the whole world. Inside it, objects of significant value might have burnt along with the imponent structure; among them are the Holly Crown, a fragment of the Wood of the Cross where Jesus was crucified, and even one of the nails used to crucify him.
Until now, the cause of the fire is believed to be related to remodeling works that were in process in the Cathedral. However, once the investigations start, different conclusions may raise.
