Humankind what a foolish kind…
We invented the photography so we could keep forever moments that in the next instant would vanish. But we rarely use it, we usually use it to keep invented moments, pretended moments and staged moments. Don’t 90% of your photography’s have been taken the instant after you hear something like: smile; say cheese; say whisky or other thing that would make you appear in the photo with a huge smile? Why can’t we have photos of us crying? Or during a row? Or a when we are with the blues… Why do we always have to appear with that stupid fake smile? Aren’t you able to choose from all the photos you have, the ones that wore taken when you wore really smiling? Can’t you see? Can’t everybody see? Is it so difficult to distinguish the fake smiles from the true ones?
I don’t believe it is… even in photos.
But everybody is free of taking photos of whatever they want… just don’t annoy me every time you see a photo taken by me where the person that is caught in the photo is not smiling.

I once read that “the human mind is infinite … and genial”. And after reading this I stopped to think about the genial things the human mind has done… well the list is also infinite but it’s not all good. We have the fire, the well, the vaccines and many other things in many different times. We also have atomic bomb, pollution, war, CFC and many other things that are product of brilliant minds, but… aren’t at all brilliant for the humankind…
After this short reflection I read the sentence again and it said: “The human creativity is infinite, perverse, maquiavellian, its genial”. Looks like the author of this sentence was right and that I read it very bad.
