The Secret Life of Bees

Just a few days ago, a friend, blog reader, I asked for an explanation of the name I had given him: "Mirror of Galadriel."
Recalling that the "Mirror of Galadriel" is, say, an object in the novel "The Lord of the Rings," you might think I'm one of many set, worshipers, etc.. etc. of that story. I know the book, even before it came out the film version (the book is always the book) and although I like it, I decided to borrow the "Mirror", not a reckless and maniacal love of the novel, but with good reason the phrase with which Galadriel (one of the queens of the Elves) submit it to Frodo. The sentence is what you find under the title of the blog: "Many things ask the Mirror of the Mirror can also reveal ... spontaneously show pictures ... most weird and useful than that ... ... want to see even the wisest can know. " Question then Frofo "I advice you to look ? " Galadriel replied " No, I do not recommend neither the one nor the other. See is both an asset and a danger .
For more details, refer to the post baptism with which I gave to the blog and maybe another post I intend to give more explanations on the title and the essence of the blog, although I should be clear that the intent of each post contained therein.
I hope, then, that becomes evident, also, the idea-generating and the purpose of this post is based on two pictures that the mirror showed me a book and read a quotation attributed to Einstein.
So I want to give you only one point of view ... say that it is up to you wanting to "see" concept which is then arrived Cameron Diaz in Avatar). I, nor I recommend this, nor do the opposite, knowing that "see" is at the same time, a good and dangerous.
So let us today to "see" what is man compared to the world, the environment in which they live.
During the Christmas period, I happened to read a book called "The Secret Life of Bees," written by an author set in the U.S. and South Carolina, during the period when you start the process of racial integration, a time of strong discrimination against "Negroes." A nice story that is a personal matter (a daughter, the absence of a mother who tragically died), set in a historical context of considerable geographical interest, which is in the background and takes the lives of bees.
Some time later, I then happened to read an article about the bee die-off and I'm reminded of a famous phrase that has been attributed to Einstein: "If one day the bees were to disappear, man would remain only four years of life. "
A phenomenon that the memory of bees, some say, has reached catastrophic proportions in the United States, where the amount of memory - with peaks of 60-70% - has alarmed farmers and beekeepers.

As for Einstein, or what purports to be, instead, the phrase which seems exaggerated, absurd: the man destined to become extinct if all the bees were to die !?!?!.
But this hypothesis seems incredible that hides a truth, if you think that about 60-70% of the food we eat comes from plants pollinated by bees. So without them, certainly, if not the extinction risk of a drastic reduction in the menus and anyway, the words attributed Einstein, it may be well founded, considering that in addition to pollinated plants originating about 2 / 3 of our food, there are others, also pollinated, the source of food for the animals which we eat and required for the preservation of life on the planet.

In any case, it is totally or partially justified, that phrase hides a definite revelation, for us men in this age we live: our sad self-centeredness, our way of life based on a concept of "autarky" of our existence , we have now, wrongly convinced we can govern themselves and our entire existence.

We are so convinced not to depend on anything, much to think that the Life is in our service and is due to something that is not necessary to the preservation and protection. We are so "closed" in ourselves, not to feel part of a system, of which we are a fruit and not the cause and the only engine. A
be so small as to be insignificant for many and at times even annoying, proves decisive for us.
E 'discovery of how our lives are made of small things, indeed, how are these to give us their existence.

Bees, which teach us much in terms of social interaction, respect for others, understanding of the community, primarily, is the first single, without whom nothing would be the single, also remind us that life is not the artificiality that we create to mark our days, but the existence of man is a galaxy littered with millions of tiny stars, all unique and indispensable to guarantee the existence of galaxies, albeit small compared to the vastness of the galaxy itself.

And perhaps now time, in the third millennium, to rediscover our roots, our role on this planet. It 'time to restore the proper balance and relationship with our home and our mother and the living beings who are like us, part of it, each essential to the existence of everything, in spite of our eyes superb There appears to be under a robe of preconceived futility.

Patches Of Bumps On Face

The white linen and gold

This post is in the picture idea that the mirror showed me the first days of December. This is the premise to say that I have mentioned and thought to write more than a month ago, after seeing the image, and that will tell you that I had created a "reflection" on women, or rather the feminine side of the world, More specifically, the idea, on the point of view I have of this world and the role it has hitherto had in my life. Then, as in the days after the post was developing, maturing the current events. So the post was written by himself, taking a different direction. End of preamble and beginning of post.
speak of Cambodia. A beautiful country, but perhaps little known, partly because the victim of a recent history of violence and oppression. But what to do with women, with the feminine side of the world? The history of Cambodia, the recent and dramatic past ties to the Khmer Rouge, which is a regime that has killed 2.2 million people, comparable to many others, capable of devaluing human life to consider it of no importance compared to the overall system. In short, Cambodia has experienced a human tragedy that is substantially equal to that caused by Hitler, if the deaths are related to the population.
The real tragedy lies in the fact that the perpetrators of atrocities are practically all free, except for some leaders came under process. Moreover, even the political leader, Pol Pot has been just condemnation, because he died before trial. To leave summary for those who wish to learn two links, one on Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot on a .
What remains in Cambodia, today, after the regime? A still unstable country with a government, which many do not define democracy. A country that has overcome the problems of poverty and where it is also difficult to remember, because in 2005 it is estimated that about 3 / 4 of the population had less than twenty years and has thus lived through those tragic years. It 's a country which today opens its doors to tourism, but unfortunately is known for sex tourism. In short, a paradise for
Giovambattista Adornato (the indifferent pissed off), if you remember what I wrote about how he is tough in the fight against and how, firmly believe that everyone should stay at home and its up to us to help the poorest countries, creating in places the foundations for the development and wealth. In fact, men's consistent, he prefers to visit those countries and meet those people there, which in Italy are strongly rejected, bestowing wealth to those people (only women do not care if minors) that the "good deal" ... for him is like riding a beauty farm. Unfortunately, not just him, it is true that just do a little research on newspapers to find a white tourist who says "What's wrong? I do nothing but adapt to the environment where I am. The first to go to bed with the girls are just the Cambodians. Try something new for me and normal for them. I'm not a monster, are the good West, bringing money. " In this area there are Italians who are distinguished see Milanese, thirty year old electrician, who was sentenced to ten years in prison, found naked with four children aged 10 to 14 years.
Here is the image displayed by the mirror: Cambodia and food for thought and a phrase used by some of the men of that country: "Man is gold and white canvas a woman. "The sentence means the idea that man can end up in the mud, but like gold just a moment to clean it and return it to shimmer, the woman, the white canvas, if it ends in the mud will never return as white as before.
Hence the idea of \u200b\u200btalking about the way I see and hear the female part of the world, meeting postponed to another post, because the current view, that phrase led me to think of Berlusconi. I heard the echo of the words he uttered just when you start speaking in December for the first time in the Ruby case, and supported the theory of a plot hatched against him, using the escort, pay for lying, to tell of being prostitutes and gone to banquets he organized. In summary, this was the phrase of the Premier: "I wonder why they did so. Are unfounded and incredible. A girl who claims a prostitute in front of the world preclude all avenues for future work to find a husband. So I wonder who has paid. " As you can see a perfect translation of the concept of gold and white canvas: it is women who get dirty and do not return more candidates, some men who attend, however, can always return to glisten like gold cleaned of mud.
Cambodia seems so far away and is instead, so close to a certain "culture" men of our country, in which he lives Giovambattista Adornato, moreover, one of the many indifferent pissed. As for the case
Ruby and various escort, something more was learned, after recent events. Leaving aside the legal matter, it was learned that the plot did not escort him through some, but certainly, there were "friends" of the prime minister who organized "dinner" and "after dinner", with films, songs and dances ... in short, organizers of a package that are the envy to the best tour operators (and yes that speed Arcore seems that there have been). The point is that after having stated the above, today Berlusconi takes issue with those who have invaded his privacy (the magistrates of Milan), while his lawyers (who are also elected members with Berlusconi, that they had "appointed" in their electoral lists) prepare pleadings to assert its truth. So feel Ruby (who is also interviewed by Signorini and broadcast on Mediaset), which says three things:
- I have not had sex with Berlusconi : may be there, not in the metaphorical sense of the term, but in the sense that it is, if you want to believe that the money that were given, were "acts of charity" to thank so much so that, with her cell phone, Ruby has been in contact with more than 60 times with Arcore and treasurer of Berlusconi
- I am told that I am of age : we say here may be there, not always easy to distinguish between a seventeen and eighteen and a Berlusconi has more powers in that of an ordinary man. Certainly Minetti and the tour operator, organizer of the evening, he could tell her, or perhaps not even know them. The rest go to Arcore is so easy, that mica ask you who you are? I'm going to get very nearly an act of charity rather than buy win for life for a life without effect.
- I who told him to be the nephew of Mubarak : and here I begin to worry. Never mind that anyone can enter the home of the Prime Minister if well together, but having a prime minister so naive to believe what they told him a girl, much to call the police headquarters in Milan and say "beware treat it well is the nephew of Mubarak. "So you know that our Prime Minister is so gullible, naive as I am concerned that should govern the country in which we live ... who knows how many more .... fuck that told believed and is based on them to govern!.
would wonder if you wonder why it is so out of breath so as not to remain in police Ruby, so far as to call the race, knowing with certainty that it would be well known and agreeing to take the risk. would wonder if you wonder why today defended both Minetti, even by the regional delegates of his party, who have questioned the figure, arguing that she was elected (appointed) in Lombardy in place of other more deserving of being deemed politically 8evidentemente the candidate must have other merits Minetti having little or no political experience and apprenticeship.
I turn to those who support the center-left, but center-right voters: you believe what you told Berlusconi on the matter? the call to the police station was for charitable gesture and so did the donations of money? you have faith even the existence of Berlusconi's girlfriend? Do not believe the former wife of Mr Berlusconi had asked his friends to help her husband by her ill-defined, irritated, too, by the courses attended by aspiring candidates in elections for the PDL and the eighteenth birthday for the year in which it participated her husband? believe that Berlusconi is so naive, gullible, to be drunk the story of Ruby and her family relationship with Mubarak? and if you believe it does not scare you so naive that govern us, so that we can finish the prey of everyone's stories bales and then blackmail him even to the detriment of the country?
So, do not think there can be a center-right (I think better) without Berlusconi?
I think as he believes see women as gold and white picture, but think, too, even though you and I are white canvas, which can be thrown mud when you want.
enough to see the latest episodes:
- There are international problems, as the case of Baptists and the question of diplomatic relations with Brazil, or the protests in Arab countries, pro-Western, such as Tunisia and Egypt, but the Foreign Minister goes to Parliament to report the letter "response" received from the state of Saint Lucia on the question of the House of Monaco, and whether or not Tulliani, brother-Fini (without telling us who's had put a question to the state of Saint Lucia?). In short, a Minister of the Republic who sees this as a priority issue, not a big thing. But who knows who is who requested a response to Saint Lucia and asked to report urgently on the issue in Parliament? What do you think?
- the other night, the Director General of RAI, Masi, call during the broadcast "Annozero" and speak with one of his employees, Santoro, saying that from what I heard in the preview of the transmission (prescient) thinks that the transmission has content that affect constitutional rights ... and so, mumbling various things (a director who babbles in front of his employee !!!), but the demand for Santoro, who tells him to take his responsibility and says if it considers that the transmission must not be broadcast, says that transmission can go on the air, but ... and down to stammer. I mean, come just a great desire to pay the fees.
As to other events and circumstances he could cite many (telemessaggi invading premier weekly news, phone-ins such as the one or Ballarò Gad Lerner, dinner entertainment in where some kind of cultural topics and philosophical interest or socio-political, Berlusconi will be treated with Faith and Lele Mora, etc.). but close because many of you have asked me to be more concise.
So, I leave you to reflect. For now only carry a phrase that has always encouraged me, "the darkest hour is before dawn ... then we hope you do someday soon.

War and Peace

I wanted to talk about other things and leave the political issues in a corner. In fact, however, in hindsight, the post is at the end of economics and industrial policy. Of course also deals with issues, so-called social thing inevitable, given that industrial policy and economic research issues that affect people's lives, now more than ever.

This morning, I attended a debate on television on the agreement at Fiat and related question of industrial relations. In a post you precede it had already, in part, treated (see the third question of the post ).
unveiled its subject matter, I urge you not stop reading, because maybe you just interested in one aspect, which, seemingly, just about you or you need even less. You will discover by reading how the question is closer to you than what you think.
brief summary. After the agreement in Pomigliano, complete with a referendum on which no to talk back, in these days was agreed for the plant in Mirafiori, Fiat and signed by Fim, Uilm, UGL and Fismic. Fiom not signed and on January 10, the agreement will be submitted to the court of the workers through a referendum. We know how it went in Pomigliano the referendum and in the post I had written, already foresaw how it would go before the referendum to take place. No need to be clairvoyant, because when it comes to work, given the current unemployment rate in Italy, the workers, especially those with some years on his shoulders, do not have many doubts whether to accept working conditions even worse, just to have a salary . I would say that there is little to enjoy and do not understand why the other hand, around, there are many who rejoice in the face of certain agreements (see Berlusconi ) or appear resigned to the threat to transfer production abroad (to be bipartisan as it is today considered beautiful must, see Fassino ).

As for the content of the agreement, I refer you to an online search.
What concerns us here is the analysis made by proponents of the agreement, which differs from that of non-signatories.
Berlusconi speaks of "innovative and understanding of an important investment in the country."
Marchionne already seen the next day and says "Now we'll start planned investment in the shortest possible time. Now, we must work to achieve the specific collective agreement for the joint venture which will allow the transfer of workers to the new company Chrysler "
Roberto Di Maulo , general secretary of Fismic ( petitioner ):" The agreement has a historical significance because it demonstrates the ability to maintain manufacturing industries to attract foreign investment. "" It is the modernized industrial relations system, creating the condition of the contract specific car. "
Maurizio Landini, Fiom (not petitioner), "shameful agreement. For the first time, you erase the fact of the existence of the national contract and affecting the rights of workers, preventing an organization, among other things, the most representative of the fund and not just Fiat, to have men and representations. "
attend the debate on TV, I heard Giuliano Cazzola (former head of CGIL, then in 2008 elected MP for the PDL - a great ideological leap - now Vice President of the Labour Commission of the Chamber and political adviser to the Minister Brunetta) speak of War "commercial" and law Fiat's defense, thus justifying the deal. In other words, when you are at war, it must defend itself by any means and we all know, the fewer troops (I will not say much) compared to the ultimate objective: victory. Therefore also revealed why the title of the post.
Well, first we find that the agreement was put in return for the investment, in other words, Fiat has made it clear: if the agreement passes invest in Italy, if not past investments in a country where what is provided for in me to do.
reasons I do not bat an eyelid, as we see quite a few years of emigration, not of workers (such as early last century), but the entrepreneurs, many of which are now in what is a weighing of the European Union , Romania, given the "better working conditions" (seen in the way they see it, that is, cost lower labor, less bureaucratic restrictions and impediments to trade unions).
The question is: how come you are allowed to countries that do not have the same standard of living and therefore different salary basis, but also different in terms of sensitivity and safety of workers to join a forum, such as Europe, which would had to align the standards of different countries, creating a union not only of law but also in reality?
Needless to watch and then blame China, if you can not answer these questions.
short, the business logic is that if I have to produce in a country where I have more constraints in terms of job security, bureaucracy and the work costs more or less gain, why not go to countries where there are no constraints or those are minor, such as lower labor costs, or fewer constraints, less cost, more useful. In the end, the same reasoning (for a second time bipartisan) that workers are called to refendum: A bad agreement is better than no agreement, which means no work, no salary, no food, so hungry. On the other hand
signature analysis, signature no agreement, we find that those who do not sign poses a different question: Fiat with the agreement, creates a specific contract is separate from the national contract, so any company could do the same and not refer to general rules valid for the entire country. More who does not sign the agreement can not be in union business representative in that reality, that the employees will be represented only by those who signed the agreements.
Here the doubt expressed in two questions:
1) because Fiat wants a specific contract is separate from the national one, in which it is expected that it will not be representative of the union did not sign, in other words an agreement that whoever does not sign non- can no longer contract and therefore will not exist in that company, whether a certain number of workers represented by the union to be recognized and excluded accedes;
2) because the union did not even agree on a certain proposed agreement advanced by the employer Work will not bother to sign it, with the consequence of being cut off by subsequent meetings and not being able to negotiate in that company?
short, it is clear that if the reasons for a company's competitiveness, economic development, investment, defense jobs are shared, do not appear as the ways in which you want to support.
In recent years, a certain latent disaffection for the unions, too often seen as a means of protection of the lazy, pretentious in requests.
certainly also to blame for some choices of political union. However, should always be kept in mind that whatever you have, at times, and is written down superfluous, appear necessary and obtainable only at great cost, not once you have more. This also applies to the freedom that is wasted and snubbed, only to be regretted when it was lost and trying to regain whatever the cost. Never forget the achievements by employees, just think of the working conditions in Italy, not even a century ago, that many years after the unification of Italy, which this year celebrates the 150th anniversary.
may seem excessive to remember the fascist period, but in those years the scheme, with the corporate establishment of order, in fact the end of the union, made a policy of public policy, as the ideology Corporate deny the inevitability of conflict of interests between employers and providers, eliminating the conflict for the law, as was said a supreme common interest: the public interest of the economy. For each job category was admitted to the legal recognition of only one trade union for both employers and workers. The union of employers and the providers of labor were opposed, then, the "corporation". The corporate unions, had legal personality under public law, legal representative of the profession. The state, to ensure the public purpose given to the unions reserved the power to revoke union leaders and exercised supervisory powers. After the fall of the fascist regime, were abolished corporate guilds and unions. The new unions were formed and there was the resumption of collective bargaining. Meanwhile I am giving you two link for those who wish to learn. They are dispense with history are in addition to the usual network wilkipedia for those who may desire and time to be an incentive to read and check the accuracy or otherwise of what is reported there.
Make this analysis could be useful to answer the question I ask and I ask myself: is it so important right to organize? The link provided on the definition of trade union rights Wilkipedia date, I report only the definition: "The right to organize focuses on the figure of the worker in terms of collective discipline in the study are therefore three main topics: trade unions, the strike and the contract collective work. "
Think now, what is happening in these years and the policy pursued by the government on the unions, the critique of the collective bargaining agreement made the issue Fiat and then you decide if there is any problem or all is well.
Every time you think about the sad events of the past and it is said that today the conditions are different. The problem is that some of the basic ideas are always the same and that's what worries me, because you can slide by the day, imperceptibly, to find himself where he thought he could not reach. Moreover
(link to carry Sole 24 ore) , in 2008 alone there was an agreement to regulate the trade union representatives, trade union confederations have signed. But today, for much, not good either, if it is true that Fiat says that foreign investors are discouraged to invest in Italy, because the plurality of players due to the fragmentation of trade union (ergo better one contact, perhaps, come to think , non-confrontational and the other part of the same opinion ... that is a trace analysis of past choices).
Let's leave aside the question of union and return to economic and industrial policies. Who supports the agreement says that it will be useful, even necessary, to win the global economic competition in the auto industry (which is why a specific contract). I have said before emigration of entrepreneurs towards certain countries, but the question is to be analyzed: the competition can only be overcome by regulating the work, reducing labor costs?
In short, the issue of competitiveness, it is only labor regulation and less conflict? certain choices are not subsidiaries of finance issues.
Who supports the choice of Fiat, it seems to suggest just this and the spin-off of Fiat and the division of auto industry than is indicated as the decisive solution, at least as stated by Marchionne: "Today is a point of arrival and departure ... to respond to significant changes taking place in the market could no longer continue to hold together the fields who do not have any characteristic economic and industrial policy ". In practice off has covered the auto industry, spun off from Iveco, FPT and CNH (tractors, trucks, etc.)..
is, however, doubt that such an operation after 120 years of history, Fiat (no spin-off) is also useful to make decisions faster in terms of disposals and reorganization of production, as well as interesting issues for non-industrial finance but, since the same day the title of the Fiat industrial spin-off was up 3.05% and 4.91% of Fiat SpA, and the sum of the prices of two securities was higher than that of pre spin-off unit price.
We know the funds are moving in a hurry and do not care workers, production and market of real estate, if you think that those who invested yesterday, increasing the odds that the second has not even considered the registrations in December these are decreased by 21.71% over the same month last year and the only market share of the Fiat group fell by 2% in a year (being at the 29.67%).
Where are the industrial issues, the design, new ideas, projects? Where is the research on new means of transport and alternative fuels? I admit to not being an expert, but in a time when the price of gasoline and diesel oil salt and has shot for no apparent reason and access to oil prices, why do not we talk about innovative technologies and alternative and does not show that the promised investments needed to achieve them.
In recent years there has been talk of electric cars, hydrogen to , provides links, even oils can be used instead of gasoline. It is not science fiction (see link on the messaggero.it and on a Community policy on the subject). Need an answer to see if those who work and directs companies in the auto industry sees the future through the eyes of myopic. If
content to recover profit margins and raise capital to do what it always looks for solutions, or if that really represent a turning point, not only for those who work in those companies, but also for consumers. It seems difficult to win the global competition, and certain emerging countries, still producing the same car, except you do not want to flood the market with these cars that can no longer find relief in countries like ours that are no longer living the overwhelming industrial expansion and consumption. The competition is won, by what other people do not know yet, developing and producing new goods, innovative, maybe even help to reduce the impact environment, reduc consumption of scarce energy sources and manipulated by the few producers in the price, so even freeing from the shackles of various sheiks and oil companies.

How To Tighten Large Board Shorts

Welcome back grains of sand ...

On this blog there is a post written for the first anniversary of his birth (which falls on the eighth of July), but there is a place to greet those who attended and hopefully with pleasure, those who read the contents. Thus renewing the tradition, I write a post following the one written last year. The salute to new year that was, 2010, I gave a post called "grains of sand in the sea ... Happy New Year" ( link for those who want to read it). To tell the truth, rereading it, I found a nice post, so I have even inspired at least in the title. That post I wrote for hope in the new year, the growth of blogs and a wish and a thank you in a thousand different ways, companions of life, immense sea, where you, like me, you are immersed, small grains of sand, that sometimes I lose sight, swallowed by the sea and others, I find the wave lying on the same beach, at the time of the surf.
that post at the end, contained reflections on two themes: friendship and happiness.
This post, however, I could just to stimulate thought about life, since it contains is a difficult task, for the immensity of such a theme and scope of meditations and conceptualization that has aroused in every human being.
begins precisely with this. In fact build the right post with quotes recovered in recent days, in searching and maximum sentences: whether they read in books, that those preserved in memory. So, dusting off the past days is the library that the soul, too often clogged by the dust of the day.
Many have described life as a journey. A concept that is expensive, especially to those who call themselves agnostics , which although stay the proceedings in life, how about all the things that you do not have sufficient knowledge, experience, for this reason, life as a journey that has no clear destination, but rather that it should not, given that its meaning lies and only live it.
The picture, however, gives me life, is that of a tree and his existence over the course of the season. The feeling is that they, like everyone else, a leaf spring facing in life, in its full force in summer, but full of beauty in autumn, full of color even when it falls to the ground, with the fear of the end, but that is not, if it is true is that after the cold winter, life back in the tree, life itself, which increased from small twigs, leaves us we fed before the decline in autumn.
Apart from their personal visions and the meaning of life, something safe and reliable and that, for each new year, everyone expects of him and the other the best. Sometimes, in cases where the old year was not then really be thrown out, there is also the fear of regretting the past.
So what emerges is a constant thought of the uncertainty and the balance between joy and pain. In
different (even someone who reads this post) thought that having had to live a pain to have found its reason in being able to enjoy and understand the joy that came later, through new stories of life.
However, this applies to those who have found happiness after sadness. It is more difficult to believe that a true and fair mind, who, after the bitterness has not yet found the sweetness. Screeners
to explain, and even let them share the view taken by Elbert Green Hubbard, American writer and philosopher: "If you are suffering, thank God 'is a sure sign that you're living."
A deeply Christian thought, which, however, I admit, I can not believe. While we suffer, if God is trying to ask him, at least comfort, prayer to end the suffering. Not much relief to understand that suffering is proof which we live. Without wanting
stranded in the middle of the theme of suffering (physical and spiritual in its meanings), more information you can devote to happiness, certainly a goal that all we ask. How and where to search for it? In

theme, moving from USA to Russia, I give you two quotes:
- "The secret of happiness is not always doing what you want, but always want what you do." (L. Tolstoy)
- "The secret of human existence is not only alive, but also to know what you live" (F. Dostoevsky).

short, two aphorisms that invite us to pursue happiness in ourselves, in what we are and the more deep we feel we need to do.
You can move a critique of this concept: the excessive self-centeredness.
For this reason, then, before I offer an aphorism, which is even more steeped in egosimo, but in a gentle way, thanks to the sagacity of Woody Allen: "Money does not bring happiness. Imagine the misery."
To balance, I give, then the thought of a man certainly above average, Einstein: "Only a life lived for others is a life worth living."
And here we enter another topic contained in the post last year: friendship.
Again, not to drift along this subject, carried his own quotes. If
Cicero on the one hand said that "Life is nothing without friendship", the phrase that I like most is to Camus: "The important thing with friends is not what they say, but what you do not need to say." A phrase that captures the full meaning of friendship for as I understand it: complicity and sympathy , affection in the etymological sense of these words. But they come back to the topic in a future post.
Returning to the meaning of life, that everyone has the vision, objectives that arise in life to give it a content, I think it is useful to mention the thought of John Lennon: "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. "
Which reminds us that we are not on the whole and, indeed, about much life can against us. Life is not us, but we are in you and you in us. As if to say, the world does not revolve around us, but we go with the world.
Thus, in the wandering in search of a meaning, it often happens that supports the Canadian writer Moore: "A man runs around the world in search of what it needs, then comes home and finds it." A sentence that reminds me of Coelho's book "The Alchemist" (I highly recommend to those who did not read it).
In terms of, say, more "American" (self-made man-style) would include the writer James Oppenheim: "A fool seeks happiness far, the essay makes it grow at his feet. "
But in the end the real truth is obvious and perhaps the thought of Kierkegaard:" Life can be understood only back, but we live on, "or as Mark Twain says: "Life would be infinitely happier if you were born to 80 years and gradually get closer to 18."
I add: Do not we care that much about the reform of the pension system and we will enjoy more the fruits of a life's work .
Wanting to summarize: Today we all seem to busy to pursue happiness. I have not yet figured out where they are more than those who do not know where to find it or those who claim to know, but who do not have the same find it. I am convinced. however, that while we often rush to pursue happiness in "exotic locations" distant and different from us, we eventually find that you have traveled so far to no avail and stealing time to enjoy the happiness that was at our feet. If
then teach us to follow our passions, ambitions, to pursue concrete goals, life, at times, reminds us that we are not alone in imposing on you in the future. While we are intent in designing the life "happens, happens." Thus we understand two things:
- that life goes on and we get the drift just by looking at what we leave behind, but the choices you make only once, and never the same option promises identically the second, which is why we must remember that it is wrong to decide one way rather than another;
- that we alone are not enough. You live for others, because our identity is revealed in the other, in the same way that our image is reflected in the mirror. Only the existence of others, makes our real life.
understand once again, your importance. Without you this blog would not make sense, but the mirror needs a mirror image.
Welcome back to the beach, small grains of sand, the surf in a short time, we expect that the wave of a new year brings you back to sea to find out what you find.
