Eugenia Tobal's moving confession to the Pope
I'm
not keen at watching TV but, a few days ago, I spotted a TV report where was
presenting a viral photo and a video that are considered to be very
moving. It is about an Argentinian
actress that went to the Vatican to visit the Pope. When the pope approached to
the people to bless them, the actress whispered between tears that the only
thing that would make her happy is to be a mother. The same pope asked to the Vatican
press to publish that picture on the Vatican newspaper.

But
my question was, why does that assertion was so relevant on TV? As I said
before, I don’t watch much TV and I considered the world of television is
extremely shallow and biased. But the relevance of this picture is that the
actress is known to be prosperous figure but the only thing she feels that is
left so as to be happy is the possibility to have a child. She is also known
that she got pregnant several times but those pregnancies ended up in
spontaneous abortions. As a consequence, she was neglected by several of her
boyfriends that seemed to be displeased with that fact. But the problem is the following;
she was criticized by several TV shows for saying that she would be happy if she
can be a mother. Some critics supports that she is very influenced by the standards
of society which consider that a person can only be happy by being married and
having children. Some advocates deem that in order to be happy in Life, we need
to have family.
From
my point of view, I consider that having a partner or having children is
something that society tells you to do so. I believe that you can be happy by
being single and without children but I also recognize that having someone by
your side can make you feel happier than being alone. What bothers me is how people
who work in television always put their nose in where it’s not wanted. I
personally consider each person’s idiosyncrasy and if that actress considers
that she would be happy by having baby, it’s completely right. In the video, I could see that
the actress is very sincere with what she tells to the pope and I am very moved
at the willingness of the pope to listen to her. I hope, she could accomplish her wish.
