We Are Getting Unbearable

Just like those threads that we don't know where their beginning or end is, there is our confusion in society.

Confusing times, difficult, full of mental confusion, where human beings are increasingly sensitive, intolerant, where dialogue and good conversation is no longer part of the relations between us. Where the prejudgment about you and your personality on the part of others (even having never at least talked to you) is what prevails and is the image that stands the other for all eternity. Times that delving into the issues that bother us in society no longer matter. Only a shallow knowledge, comfortable and without research is what matters.

Vision of Sebo Square, traditional and quiet place here in Recife to buy and sell used books. There are lots of rarities here. It is the theme of a next post.

We live in a time that we no longer have the patience to "read" an image, to understand the feeling it passes, the why, when, where and what it was based on, but what matters today is only the quick look, in 1 second we see that image and we already reject it and erase it in our minds by turning to "more interesting" things. The perception, the connection, the feelings are being replaced by the notification of another message in the communication application on the smartphone.

Protesto contra a Reforma da Previdência RecifePE 31032017 70005.JPG

Yesterday was another day of protest against the president of Brazil, Michel Temer. I photographed this woman where her forehead was painted "Get Out Temer"

I'm trying as hard as possible not to reconnect with the modern distractions provided by technology. I'm a fan of technology, I'm very interested in this subject, but I see technology makes us separate from that connection with real life, with real people, with real lives. Technology makes us cooler, simpler, shallower every day with a pretrial on a very high level that makes us intolerant and unbearable.

I was looking out of the hole of a lamppost.

Good is the "eye in the eye" conversation, it's good to sit at a bar table and talk about the week, what your expectations are for the next, what your dreams, goals, difficulties, struggles and victories.
