EU citizens pay a billion euros to watch migrants in hell

Stories and News No. 1322 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? One of those built upside down, where the innocents burn in flames and the rest of the world, well... it's the audience, but like the one inside the television studios, where someone dictate when to laugh and clap hands. However, this is a perfect Dante's circle, one that has no end, because eternal damnation is in the obsessive repetition awaiting a different outcome. And although the scenography changes, as well as the style of the pitchfork and the appearance of the persecuting devils, the victims are always the same. There were once similar agreements with Gaddafi's Libya. Today there are those between the European Union and Italy premier Giorgia Meloni and that gentleman, the president of Tunisia Kaïs Saïed. However, the outcome is the same, the circle is there, unchanged, obtuse, cruel, mad and ruthless, which ...

If the Italian Church were right about homosexuality

Stories and News No. 1321 " It's not against the person, but it's a mandate to transmit Christian values " The Church of Cesena after the removal from the summer center of a " gay educator ". Once upon a time a story, another one. Or, a parable, if you like. Yet another short tale to reflect, both in the sense of understanding and returning the feared scenario to the sender. It is also the story of a "gay educator" as they called it, yes, but not just any, fearful and moderate, traditional and familiarly intransigent ladies and gentlemen. This is the distressing plot in which this one managed to escape the watchful lenses of the great father, rather than brother, who protects us from the infinite ways of sin. Yes, they used to be the Lord's, but this version sells for more, you know how it works. The dangerous man, having emerged unscathed from the tight shirts of the albeit diligent soldiers to protect our children, as well as desirable fu...

National day of mourning is what define us

Stories and News No. 1320 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. The first one is particularly common to each of us. Whether it's people, living creatures in general, tangible or intangible objects, situations, dynamics or any other important element in our lives, it's when the loss proves to be so deep and significant that you can't help but suffer from it. Sometimes you manage or have an interest in expressing it, and on other occasions it is something you keep inside. The other type is not an objective fact, on the contrary it cannot and must not be, because it is the result of a precise choice that pertains to the most intimate sensibilities and one's principles. It is a crucial way, like others notable, to take a stand. It is not simply a mere emotional reaction, as it may appear at a cursory glance. It represents the resul...

If I were the Earth

Stories and News No. 1319 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. Nonetheless, I will never tire of repeating it: I believe it applies to everything, living creatures and inanimate things. Even with the greatest among them, in the midst of what directly concerns us, the one that contains them all: the Earth. Therefore, I am about to discuss a recent news by putting myself in the shoes of the latter, in this case personally interested. Thus, in the immodest guise of the Earth, I read that one of the most powerful and populous nations that I carry on my shoulders, China, intends to pierce my surface through one of the deepest holes in history. It goes without saying how much this worries me as the planet most underestimated by its own inhabitants, which happens to be the only one they have. Therefore, I ask myself: why, with so many things to do for me - which means for yo...
