This is a mood spoiler, please don't read if you are not up to such a thing.
You know what's weird? The fact that they give awards to people, is always a strange thing in times of peace. I mean for men that have excelled and fame and fortune have been generous to them, an award is just a waste of time and energy. Leave alone the obligation to go and deliver it, so that they won't insult anybody. What i mean is that the ones that are helped by an award (the Nobel gives money to promote a research, the Oscar gives an extra boost and that means more tickets, a Grammy more sales - you get the picture...), are understandable, but the rest are a bit odd. You get an award for being great? I really don't get it. The award itself and the institution that gives it away, is getting so much more that the awarded... Sorry for being so harsh, but seeing people lose their lives and homes, is way too much a contrast to all these awards. Maybe we should be looking behind the obvious, not as seekers of conspiracy theories but as concerned citizens of the same planet. And if natural catastrophes like the gigantic earthquake in Japan is something we can not predict or avoid, maybe the stripping of the wealth of some countries, by other countries should be something we should not pass by as common knowledge. Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, Tunisia, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy, the U.K. and many other countries are going through severe social turmoil, caused mainly by GREED. Don't be surprised if things get out of hand and the domino theory proven right. If a castle can be blown down by a strong wind then it is no castle. The sad thing is that the greedy always get away with it. Only the weak pay.
It is strange that they give awards. The hard working man never gets any. And the dead ones don't need them. Just some thoughts on a very dark night. Sorry for spoiling the mood.
