WHAT BEAUTY WILL SAVE THE WORLD?
For more than 50 days we have heard daily about bombing, shooting, refugees, threats, negotiating tables, destruction and fear. On this blog there has been a succession of articles, comments, letters very intelligent and deep in which we have wondered about why such incomprehensible acts. We wondered…
THE IDEAS WE MUST DEFEND
Perhaps some ideas were born from the pandemic that this war now wants to cancel
For several weeks on this blog there have been interesting articles that deal with the monstrous war that suddenly swept across the West from various points of view.
It is hard to maintain this thread also because…
THE WORDS THAT WE MUST SHOUT
To reject war requires a new thought.
It’s true, it seems who knows how long since last month we expressed our desire to want to get out of the schemes and canons imposed by a society so “standardized”, so tremendously similar to a golden cage …and instead …. 21st century, February 2022, a sen…
THE WORDS I CANNOT SAY
I have been trying to write for days, but I remain speechless, silent in front of the blank page with the same paralysis as when, almost a teenager, I watched for the first time the mini-series “Holocaust”. Stunned and barely able to walk, without saying anything I went to sleep or better, I dragged…

But then, when I think about it, I realize that talking about the war in Ukraine forces us to talk about mental health. I don’t wa…

PAPILLON AND THE TEENAGERS
I recently reread all the articles published on this blog, I do not say anything new if I say that they are all related mainly to the theme of adolescence, but I would like to put together some of them and touch on the fundamental points of each one without claiming to be exhaustive , precisely becau…
DELEGATING ONE’S OWN LIFE
A few days ago, lazily watching TV, I came across the movie Papillon and I appreciated it. There’s a scene that struck me and I didn’t remember. The main character, locked in isolation, falls asleep and dreams of being in an uncultivated field with judge and jury in the distance who accuse him of hav…
THE FLOOR TO YOUNG PEOPLE
Reading the blog in recent weeks I was very impressed by the recent back and forth between the articles “We want to rip the edges badly” and “The sense of our being in the world”. They are two articles that talk in a fresh and heartfelt way about what it means to grow for a young person and what it m…
