They find a dead baby in Cateura (a landfill belonging to the Municipality)

A worker in Cateura found a box hiding the lifeless body of a newborn baby with a cut wound in his neck, the police said. The mother is being sought, who would be from the area, according to the investigators.

The finding of a newborn without vital signs happened in the early hours of Friday at 38 Proyectada y Cantalupi, Barrio San Miguel, Asunción  in a box that was in a container used by neighbors to dispose of their waste, informed the ABC Color journalist Víctor Ruiz.

The little body was already fully formed, had a wound of about five centimeters in the neck, according to the report of the Comisaría 24 Metropolitana (metropolitan police station). According to the police, the child is presumed to have been extracted and then killed, so it is considered as an alleged case of infanticide.

The investigation was tasked to the prosecutor Giovanni Grisetti. Tomorrow, agents from the Homicide Division of the Police will continue with the inquiries that may lead those responsible for this unfortunate event. It is presumed that the mother would be from the area, so the authorities request help from the citizens in case they can give some information.

NEWS JUST IN: Man who ignores the plight and suffering of other human beings and puts it down to their bad genetics or just bad luck, finds out he has terminal cancer and only 4 weeks to live.

Holden,

Thank you for sharing these words. I could have terminal cancer and nobody would help me. Who knows? I am no angelic being. I admit I speak ill of many people and wish them bad things. Just for this I deserve no help from anybody.

I remember years ago when an ex classmate told me that when he used to work in the Ministry of Agriculture one of the bosses urgently needed blood transfusion. This man was very mean to his employees and when his daughter came asking for blood donors nobody went to the hospital. That is life. Endless pain and misery.

Stay well.

Pleasure is fleeting, and this leaves us recurrently dissatisfied.

Pleasure is designed by natural selection to evaporate so that the ensuing dissatisfaction   will get us   to pursue more pleasure.  The anticipation of pleasure is very strong but the pleasure itself is not very long-lasting.

The mechanisms of withdrawal that one witnesses in addiction to substances can be identified in nearly everything we do.   What keeps all this in motion?   The pursuit of more pleasure, or the relief from the pain/discomfort of "WANT".

WANTING is a state of anticipating pleasure (relief from discomfort anxiety); and yet hard-wired into these processes is the very strong anticipation of pleasure/relief, but the pleasure itself is not very long-lasting.

Think of all the situations where we find ourselves feeling dissatisfied.  We may feel the most dissatisfied when the anticipation for relief is strongest.  The crucial thing to keep in mind is that this is not because we are somehow "wicked," "greedy," or "evil," but because we are at the mercy of these primordial mechanisms neither holy nor sacred.

To be aware of this "trap" we are caught in, or have been "thrown" into, is to come face to face with our predicament.   The problem I have witnessed is that simply being aware of the nature of our predicament does not help us much.   I mean, this awareness does not liberate us from being at the mercy of these mechanisms.

Holden,
Thank you for your quotes. I also thank Hentrich for his posts. Both are very illuminating.

I feel complete and total weariness, specially when it is raining heavily like it is raining at this very moment. This capital city is ugly, gray buildings, bad roads, garbage everywhere, stray dogs, cars, bikes and buses rushing, people running with their umbrellas, a city good for dark thoughts and self-termination.

Stay safe.
