Today, as I was browsing over the news on the internet, I was amazed at how there was not even one article on the ongoing World Youth Day in Krakow, Poland. I am not thinking of conspiracy. I am just a little sad that a gathering of people from the whole world, with a number that is not indifferent, we speak of more than two million, is not considered newsworthy.
I am sad that a gathering that shows people from different countries and walks of life, filling the streets and plazas with their joyful and enthusiastic spirit, isn't given a space.
I am sad that an experience that will surely revive joy and hope for the whole world is just disregarded.
Then I don't wonder why we find it difficult to be people of hospitality. If all we ever see and our minds are fed with are fighting, violence, aggression, and threats, then, of course, the only reaction is defense and prejudice.
Thank God for social networks. Otherwise, with the way traditional news outlets are doing their reporting now, we wouldn't even hear anything about the World Youth Day 2016 in Krakow.
