media overloads the society with all kind of catastrophes, which let us become blind for the small things directly happening in front of us. Like the women who has to send her child to a food care, so it gets something warm to eat once a day because she is at home with a burnout and depression. Or the freezing child in our neighborhood, who has to warm himself up in a trash bag right around our corner because his parents work in double shifts and deal with drug problems. During our focus is fixed on cases which are awful, which are sad, which are in need for help somewhere far away from us. I don't want to talk that small, don't get me wrong. But we forget with all this huge catastrophes from the media and news, that our own city, our own country is also in need for help in so many cases. And in this smaller cases we can help fast and right away and prevent from bigger catastrophes happening. When we have the awareness to see them without the help of a TV or Internet or a social media clip on FB which shows us blood, tears and death, then we are on a good way. When we see only death and blood, it is already too late. Prevention and

Awareness are the key. We can't help everyone, but anyone can help someone. And if I can transport that also somehow in some of my pictures or songs I usually share with them, then I am already relieved.
