Africa-Press – Mauritius. A little girl under a pile of manure, the revenge of the wild life, sovaz behavior apprehended when supermarkets reopen. While the Res Lacaz operation prevented violent shocks from pushing motorcyclists and motorists to die on the asphalt at the same time as their driving license .
, and spared families from unnecessary suffering, a few thugs in lack of cigarettes and alcoholic beverages, without faith or law, did not hesitate to sever the wrist of a security guard.
News headlines without these sordid acts: a short respite. No matricide, patricide, a break in the “feminicide” committed by violent husbands in the jargon of feminists of the #Balancetonporc movement, no crime between drinking companions.
It has been too good for the past few weeks. In the Intra-Family Crime Register, look for the mother. It’s done. What fly stung the young mother to smash the skull of her child? Social misery, moral misery? The sacredness of the child is shattered.
A nine-year-old girl who takes two hours to eat lunch in this time of confinement shouldn’t be disturbing to idle parents, one would be tempted to believe, that was no reason to be on edge.
More than a biological necessity, eating is also an emotional and social act. The thoughts that preoccupied the child who unwittingly prolonged the mealtime, worry, fear, trauma? We’ll never know. Uncle can’t get over it. He mourns his niece. What could have unleashed such fury in his sister? He forgives her anyway because she’s his sister.
Crime against her own child committed by a mother with the help of a partner? A reminder that there is a peripheral world populated by broken families, precarious couples, cohabitation, unstructured and reconstituted families where the absence of a safeguard that, in general, education and values provide can liberate a murderous madness of an Ego emancipated by the liberation of morals, reinforced by the principle of immediacy, the satisfaction of needs and whims, an Ego delivered to its passions… And, in all of this, a little girl who perpetuates her meal.
Concerned about protecting themselves from a deadly virus and ensuring their own survival with masks, gloves and sanitizer, fear in the guts, the good people would have expressed, in normal times, their indignation, their revolt with: How is it possible? There is no more respect or values, Where is the country going, ‘mo daddy’? The inquisitive tribunal that the so-called “social” networks have become would have stood on the podium and everyone would have delivered their verdict to anyone who wants to hear it.
But there, radio silence. No white march, no candles or prayers for the desecrated child – curfew obliges. The Minister for Family and Gender Equality summed up everyone’s sentiment.
Shocked and outraged, she promises to protect all the children of this country. How will she do it? For now, sad gender equality in crime . . . A little exaggerated, yes.
The girl will be forgotten until the next murder. In places where serious matters are discussed, International Brain Week has already passed with an emphasis on the right and left brain.
The primitive side of the human brain was missing from the discussion program. Here, nothing too intellectual; it encourages consumption and avoids thinking.
In a few days, in the wee hours of the morning when the plowman heads for his field to work the maternal and nourishing land, sitting on a pile of manure, a little girl will observe him. Left too early, she will prowl around the maternal home in the evening.
The cutting operation having been interrupted, in some time, the inhabitants of the underground world of the deceased will see a little girl approaching them, limping, with a pain in her hip. Our prayers go with him.
It is the influx to the kingdom of Yama, Vedic god of death, to that of Hades of Greek mythology, and many other deities of the pantheon of the universe, if we mention them, of a thousand people of a certain age per day with a one-way ticket from New York, Italy and Spain mainly for now.
Europe has become the third world, observes the philosopher Michel Onfray. We still have to wait for the results in Africa and Southeast Asia in the coming weeks.
A helping hand from the wild life to the rulers to regulate the phenomenon of Gray Peril? Aging populations around the world and especially where their growing numbers follow the curve of prosperity and increasing life expectancy.
Cynical gaze, one will say. Old age pensions, retirement homes, medical care, etc. , reduced. A reduction in the budget of the rulers, will support the followers of the theory of conspiracy.
The reality is the fortuitous but inevitable encounter of a serial killer with another quintessential serial killer, the man himself. Biodiversity requires forest animals to spread their virus to other small, crawling creatures who pass it on to many others without being fatal.
Deforestation for economic reasons, the breeding of cattle which ends up on the plates of fast food restaurants for the taste pleasure of each other, the export deprived the virus of the wild life of a natural evolution in its habitat.
.
Deviated from its natural trajectory and the improbable promiscuity between civet and bat imposed by man in a large market, the prehistoric pangolin virus would have acquired toxicity in its mutation and circulated as a free electron like all life on earth but no ‘did not meet any small wild animal that could welcome him.
Without doing it on purpose, he stumbled upon the two-legged animal that speaks Mandarin. An ecological disaster. Default killer erected as an enemy. The heavy artillery came out for the occasion in speeches, the Prime Minister urging the population to maryé piké, manzar li, repeated in chorus on the airwaves and by the good people.
Military vocabulary reinforced by the doctor sent from Reunion Island who invites little Mauritians to behave like soldiers. While we’re at it, why not the very Gallic Aux arms, citizens!
We must admit that culturally, here we are not very comfortable with the rhetoric of the enemy, despite the superficial adhesion through mimicry, it seems.
The people, although projected into the era of consumption and modernity, and despite appearances, have not lost their independence of mind, popular common sense and a certain wisdom inherited from ancient times.
A great asset. A long-heralded global recession precipitated by the incredible force of an invisible virus. What goes around comes around in English, karmic justice for others.
People are eager to resume economic activities, including the one that involves killing millions of animals a day. A savagery that we are careful not to discuss. Will we learn any lessons from it one day?
