This morning I drove to a supermarket.

As I live near the border I listen to a German radio because I didn't want to hear X radio news impromptu broadcast about growing number of victim , and "political" analysis.

Once in the mall I listened.

Probably people will talk about what happened. Freely, simply. They did not. they mostly talked about food to buy, what not to forget, and grounding their children for being so annoying.

I bought some tomato from Morocco to prepare a typical meal from a french island in the Indian ocean where I lived a few years ago.

There were lot of people in the supermarket. Didn't heard anyone chatting about the events.

At the cash register I was behind 2 typical middle east men with large beard. They did not speak french between them. They help me pass through some baldy arranged shopping carts because I was a bit encumbered with my purchase.

The cashier was probably from Indian ethnicity. A very handsome man, and he has the same tiny lump, I have since birth, at the side of my ears. He probably saw mine too, because he was very smiling.

I should have asked him if knew other people with that physical particularity (I just met 5 people with that , and 2 of them are from my close family)

Bottom line is, social media is about one upping on another with your feelings, and how affected by politics or stuff you are.

You know, like this airplane company is the worse, or people in front of you in the train are so loud, or something.

The worst part, in the actual case, those media help maintain a sense of fear and push for action. When all you need sometime is a bit of rest and silence.

But, hey! Here I am , doing my part of noise and talking. Probably we cant do anything against it.
