Well, I just read an article and I try once again to understand it better with a story.Once upon a time a hellish circle, right?

Today I would like to be as brief as possible, so that the few words are easier to remember and remain impressed for longer.In my humble opinion, there are two types of mourning.

Yes, I know, it's trivial as a premise. I'm referring to the fact that seeing things from the other person's angle helps to understand them.

I would like to put some order on a topic that has always touched me personally, but which I still believe today is misunderstood as inescapable in a country like Italy and beyond.I'm talking about racism.I learned to know it literally firsthand since birth.

Once upon a time a proverb, all that glitters is not gold, which urges us to be wary of what at first glance may seem appreciable and of undisputed value, but if its actual qualities and characteristics are ascertained, it proves much less agreeable and meritorious.I cite as an emblematic example the coronation ceremony of the new sovereign of the isolated, rather Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813069261157253015.post-51118457602937273622023-05-05T12:09:00.001+02:002023-05-05T12:09:18.202+02:00Letter to an African man of the pastStories and News No. 1314

Nothing new in the premise of this umpteenth story: a privileged minority exploits the earth's riches, causing suffering and death among the majority of human beings.

I think that there are news articles before which sooner or later we end up remaining indifferent to and I don't think it's a good sign.I don't know if the responsibility is ours, or rather the way we welcome and absorb all information, the rhythm, or rather the frenzy, which we travel with from waking up to the end of the day, or even lots of other factors linked to Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813069261157253015.post-79399697929214393742023-02-07T18:10:00.004+01:002023-02-07T18:10:33.491+01:00War and earthquake a matter of points of viewStories and News No. 1304
We often fight over the different angles from which we observe the most varied issues, both those that touch us closely and others, which concern people whose tragedies we cannot imagine.For example, war or peace, join the fight or stand by, send weapons or only medicines, or not even the latter.At the same time, I think that when we try to absorb the points of view Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813069261157253015.post-81444722427884401302023-02-02T15:46:00.002+01:002023-02-02T15:46:22.244+01:0013562 vs ShellStories and News No. 1303
