We have learned to "honor" the dead victims with a minute of silence. Just one minute. That's all we delegate from our "precious time" to honor and remember this unwarranted loss of life (if we do it at all).
In my mind, instead of a minute of silence, it should be months and years of rage and fighting to change the conditions that lead so many people to death in the struggle of finding a viable life. I know though, that this suggestion will disrupt our daily life or take away from our infatuation with our own personal suffering, so I am prepared to take one minute of rage if I have to, for this tragedy that doesn't touch us personally because it affects people of different skin colour and in different lands.
A minute of rage towards everyone who could have prevented these tragedies from happening but didn't do it, and most possibly they never will because even the rage, the memory, the reaction and the time as presented through the media is coloured with racism and classism.
A minute of rage towards an inhumane and exploitative system that deifies profits and in its pursuit of it, and does not account for human lives other than as a statistical mark.
A minute of rage towards the international imperialism (I know, this old fashioned word) that imposes a continued division and redivision of the world and its markets, with wars and interventions (those "humanitarian" and "civilize-bringing" operations) in the name of more profit.
A minute of rage towards the EU that when it is not deftly playing its neutral position it turns into a fortress, lest it be contaminated by any "infectious" element.
