What is carnival really? A celebration of what? Think about it. Are we celebrating life, slavery, freedom from captivity, immorality, hooliganism, vulgarity, nakedness, death?? Every year at a certain time we spend all this time and money preparing for carnival. We go fetting, drinking, dancing, fight with one another, sometimes kill, drive recklessly injuring innocent people .. and we call it celebrating carnival.. But what is carnival?????
Your point is so valid! I wonder what are we really celebrating around these times. All I see is naked and vulgar people on the street. They don’t even know what to do for themselves. Carnival suppose to be a celebration but what are we celebrating right now? I need to know now!
