It is perhaps a form of self-defense to pretend that nothing has happened, but it is not this way, it has happened and I do not want to risk everything starting again for the worst because only of our need to resume a life we believe we have been unjustly deprived of. Is it life to risk that still others fall ill at the risk … Continua a leggere In Praise of Prudence
Return their smile to children and to those elderlies whose hopes for their children have been betrayed, once more betrayed, by hate and violence, the one many times we have been promising never again. Return their smile to children from all over the world in order their tears could be tears of joy and not of desperation. Tell the old men they have still a … Continua a leggere Return Their Smile to Children
The sky is wet with all the unshed tears due to the foolishness of the world. The hills disappear, the sun hides, merciless is the dawn that does not allow smiles. A child cries, a father screams, a mother is silent, a dog barks at the screeching seagull, not a leaf moves and in the lake of nonsense the clamor of silence is stronger. Il … Continua a leggere Humidity
If you look at things from a distance, you will surely see them smaller, but are you sure they really are small? We usually suggest to take distances from things to see them better, yet this is not always a good suggestion unless after a while taken to observe things as a whole, we do not approach to them again in order to cope with … Continua a leggere Things Are Not As Small As You Think They Are

The thread of life that unravels moment by moment is often intricate and tangled. The light ones mix with the dark ones and the light with the darkness. Yet, we are there to live, trying to give a meaning to the time that passes so that not a drop is lost and not a moment is unworthy of us. The thread of life asks us … Continua a leggere The Thread of Life
… and that’s right. Life is like a dance at the end of which the applause does not belong to just one, but to all those who have danced in your life. All that is false, then, comes to the surface and you cannot ignore it, those who choose to live as well as exist can only follow their often solitary dimension, never stopping to … Continua a leggere Loredana De Vita: News from Now-Here
L’insostenibile leggerezza dell’essere (Adelphi, 1984) di Milan Kundera è un libro che non smette mai di sorprendere, anche quando lo si rilegge più di una volta, anzi, il rileggerlo più di una volta apre scenari che sembravano invisibili a una precedente lettura, eppure, erano già lì, come se stessero solo aspettando di essere notati. Non mi sorprenderebbe se una nuova lettura mi offrisse ancora nuovi … Continua a leggere Milan Kundera: L’insostenibile leggerezza dell’essere
Be consistent in your life as you are (or should) in your writing or whatever you do. There should always be modesty in living life and living writing. A modesty that approaches extremes without eliminating them, which entrusts the comparison between truth with the possibility of building harmony and meaning for our route and for any future destination.I often wonder where the truth of our … Continua a leggere Be Consistent

Il percorso dell’autore, che passa dalla filosofia al buddismo alla scienza neurobiologica, sembra tracciare delle linee guida affinché la ricerca della felicità … Continua a leggere Plinio Marotta: L’albero della felicità.
