[DEHAI] Diana

American nework television broadcasted and rebroadcasted certain portions of
Princess Diana's hearst procession almost all morning. I realized that, to my disgust,
almost nothing was mentioned about Mother Teresa. The news keeps harping on and on about
Diana's great humanitarian efforts...and almost nothing was said of the Mother.
After a while, I realized that American television executives are a lot more
cold-hearted than I had previously thought. They see Diana's death as a materialistic
gain due to her popularity. They figure more people will watch the death of a princess
whose humanity and generousity is far overshadowed by a woman who lived in hardship so
that others may live better or just simply live.
Some may say that I'm "bright-eyed and bushy-tailed" due to my idealistic
nature. I want to believe in the good in people but this fiasco makes me want to
redirect my thoughts for the negative.
Mikael.
p.s. I do not in anyway believe that Diana is not deserving of all this
attention, I just believe that Mother Teresa deserves more.
