Holden,
Thank you again for your comments. Indeed life is a painful business. It has always been and it will always be.
It is true, as you say, that in some countries like here, more babies are born outside of the wedlock. It is really a tradition. My cousin, a year older than me, has a 10-year-old boy, another 25-year-old son and another daughter. As you say the spirit of fornication is everywhere.
Last week in Concepción, a city in northern Paraguay, a 24-year-old guy was kidnapped supposedly by a subversive group. This group allegedly asked for a ransom of $ 200,000. The family, not a wealthy one, agreed to pay that amount but yesterday the young man´s body was found near the border with Brazil. In my view we have another example of state-sponsored-terrorism. These murders do not happen at random and it was not the first one. Many police officers, judges, lawyers, state officials are complicit.
I watched Testigo, (Witness), a documentary by a Colombian photojournalist, Jesús Abad Colorado and in one of the interviews he showed a picture he took of a young mother in 2002 holding her baby. This woman was killed by Colombian paramilitaries. The grandmother took care of the children and in 2019 the photojournalist went back to the house to show the pictures to her baby, now in her 20s. The thing is that the daughter is now pregnant. Is this not a sign of deep vitalism among peoples?
Again what is the point of being against abortion if people are going to die mutilated, raaped, maimed, murdered?
As to the haunted houses here, I heard in some historic places people hear the sounds of dead people a long time ago talking. Some of these historic places were military barracks dating back to the War of the Triple Alliance (1864-1870). In October 2018 in downtown Asuncion, an entire family was murdered and some journalists reported hearing screams in the house where the tragedy happened.
Here many years ago state companies were privatized but there is no need to privatize them now because actually most of the key ministries work for powerful business groups.
There is a psychiatric hospital but I have never been near there. The insane are not there but in the streets obeying every single word the government decrees.
Your neighbor, that actor, does not realize or does not want to realize he is really stalking you. Other people would go to a police station and file a complaint. You are way too kind. I suppose buying a dummy camera has its costs but I am sure if he sees it he will stop bothering you. And if your neighbor complains about it to the authorities you have a good justification to install that camera.
Stay alert.
