Violence? No, thank you.

English:

Violence? No, thank you.

I have wanted to write a post like this for a long time, a post in which I will express my opinion about a very popular subject but which, regardless of how popular it is, bothers me a lot. I am aware that this is a travel blog, but I guess that since it is my personal blog, there's room for my own thoughts.

This post and the ideas included in it are my own thoughts, things that I have been considering after (1) the terrorist attack in Barcelona yesterday and (2) the accident in which visitors of the Vicente Ferrer Foundation, where I volunteered for twelve months, died and were injured a few weeks ago. In both cases, as I keep in touch with both Spanish and Indian people, I have received messages on Whatsapp and Facebook in which the facts were presented, pieces of news from the newspaper were included, and a lot of graphic images were spread: images of dead people lying on the street with ripped clothes, blood on their skin and visible broken parts of the body.
