A long way to Tibet
080808 - Does this number mean something to you? Despite of being a repetition it shouldn't. You shouldn't think in anything mystical, or metaphysical. It shouldn't give you extra hopes or extra fears. Neither extra meanings than just another day. And the only special thing is that the Olympics starts on that day - today.
Actually there is something special about today. The cyberspace is promoting a campaign called #080808, supposedly to spread the spirit of the Olympics to the world.
The spirit of the Olympics? I'd say the spirit is dead. Like Nietzsche's god in Thus Spoke Zarathustra... And all these pasteurized athletes, all the dumping propaganda, on that made-up Beijing enforcing the sad decadence of the world, deeply immersed on nonsense consumption? Not only that, but they have Tibet as well...
Who needs these? People are already sad enough when they realise the more and more away they are from the Nature, and Nature doesn't like it. Before understanding those who have chosen the simplicity of life, they prefer to attack and dominate. China, one of the latest civilization standing the ancient wisdom, plays the imperialist role in Tibet. They know they were corrupted by the system and there's no way back...
So, VIVE L'OLYMPICS!
