Johan Croneman: When otherwise we would compare Notre-Dame, and natural disasters, if not now?

Bårlärkan hedges as is known all around the year now in Sweden, there is nothing like social media is running more than a deceased celebrity. Halvkändis works as well. Combined with the pull-out and well-described disease process on the Facebook may soon anyone get a squadron of Jas-plan for the task to carve out a RIP in the sky.

the Behavior has spread to the anxious press and media that make supplements when before this ”Ex on the beach”-the star expojkväns mother goes away – that in half a year was actually married with her ex-husband to former ”Dynasty”star Evelyn Carter Beckham af Ljungbyhed (svenskkoppling is always good!).

Notre-Dame burned a week ago and social media exploded, of course (famous buildings or b-list celebrities, thing the same) – all who set foot in Paris cried rivers over their personal favoritkatedral damaged. Even the Swedish news went bananas.

from ”a world in shock” – or from the various quarries in France, where it possibly would be able to find the same stone in the 1100s, and the really filthy rich filantroperna suddenly started to compete in who wanted to build the Notre-Dame the best and the most. After a week it is the voluntary gathering up in far over ten billion.

In newspapers have culture writers struck beautiful knots on themselves in order to establish that ”In the week we were all catholics”, in another place, we were suddenly and surprisingly ”all europeans” – it was in all cases the worst thing that could have happened to the world. Ever. And symbolic values, my friends, and the power of the common sorrow, my friends, and imagine what it could mean for peace, and all our enemies.

the Author and columnist Alex Schulman knew exactly (and correctly) what was waiting for him, put it on the horns, laid out a picture of the fire on her Instagram and wrote: ”Finally”.

both stegla and garottera a human being – at the same time?

In a few notes, and short tv spots, it was observed at the same time that the collection of the cyklonkatastrofen in Mozambique went extremely slow. The philanthropic value in taking up a billion and bail out a few million poor people turned out (of course) to be zero compared with that build monuments à Paris, where even his own name would be inscribed forever.

When the discussion suddenly was led into comparisons between different types of charity and the value of human life versus the ”eternal values” described the sudden as banal and trivial.

”Here there are no contradictions, of course, one can not set a cathedral from the 1100's against a mördarcyklon in Mozambique.”

it goes more than excellent, it fits very well in addition, and that the occasion is more than well-chosen.

When else would we do the comparison?

When tv news works, the best they manage to just ask the important questions (without even reflecting on it every time) on how we prioritize, what really is important, keep the discussion alive by asking if it is possible to simultaneously both help the starving syrian war and the repair of a church in Tanum – each leads us to the questions?

How shall we keep it apart there in our heads everyday?

I see nothing whatsoever strange in that for example, a parent telling the kids, every day, that it is both a human and an environmental catastrophe to throw food when they are tiotalsmiljoner hungry children throughout the earth.

To remain silent is, however, a crime against all humanity.
