Que será daqui a três semanas! Se passarem por Albufeira têm grandes hipóteses de me encontrar a fazer churrascos, a brincar (leia-se aturar... eheheh) com os putos na praia e a namorar com Ela. Vida complicada, eu sei...
Fui...
I was shown how fragile life was on Saturday. I saw the terror on bystanders’ faces. I saw the victims of a senseless crime. I saw lives change. I was reminded that we don’t know when or where our time on Earth will end. When or where we will breathe our last breath. For one man, it was in the middle of a busy food court on a Saturday evening.
I say all the time that every moment we have to live our life is a blessing. So often I have found myself taking it for granted. Every hug from a family member. Every laugh we share with friends. Even the times of solitude are all blessings. Every second of every day is a gift. After Saturday evening, I know I truly understand how blessed I am for each second I am given.
I feel like I am overreacting about what I experienced. But I can’t help but be thankful for whatever caused me to make the choices that I made that day. My mind keeps replaying what I saw over in my head. I hope the victims make a full recovery. I wish I could shake this odd feeling from my chest. The feeling that’s reminding me how blessed I am. The same feeling that made me leave the Eaton Center. The feeling that may have potentially saved my life.
Pergunto: E até agora, durante décadas, a sociedade portuguesa esteve equilibrada? Tinham os que trabalham no privado benefícios e direitos iguais ou sequer parecidos aos dos que trabalham na administração pública?
Dividir a sociedade seria se estas duas realidades fossem iguais, se ambas tivessem as mesmas regalias, se tivessem o mesmo nível salarial, a mesma estabilidade no emprego, se tivessem o mesmo direito à greve, se tivessem as mesmas hipóteses de carreira.
Pode ser bonito e politicamente correcto andar por aí com a conversa de que se está a massacrar os funcionários públicos e que os “privados” serão beneficiados. Eu, que me estou solenemente borrifando para o que acham da minha opinião, digo que a divisão na sociedade portuguesa já existe. E há muito tempo.
