DeLorenzo: good or bad, what I wanted to say, I've said and it remains that way. I just wanted to focus on two points from your last comment (there would be many provocations in your impeccable style, like the events in Genoa and the response to MataCà, but then I'd have to write treaties and I wouldn't even be capable of doing that completely): the first is the one that made me laugh; it seemed a bit like a tease on your part, and it concerns the "very important extrastatual and extralegal sources." Well, let's say that in this way you've lowered the tone of my previous exposition, because I was talking about ethics, justice, etc., and you are talking to me about A4 sheets. :DDD Anyway, in the end, I told you, it made me laugh. DeLore, it would be absurd if certain conventions useful for practical living weren't put into place, but these are simply ways to avoid wasting time; I could compare them to language! If we had to agree every day on the meanings of words, we would be renting tomorrow!:DD In short, man is corrupt, but not stupid!! If he had to redo a written piece, a drawing, etc. 3000 times because it doesn't fit the printer or the client or the recipient, he would take so much time that he wouldn’t be able to mind his own business anymore, working through the law in the most serious cases :DD! Well, I think anyone would get this point, but I wanted to highlight it because it genuinely amused me.
The second point is perhaps the only line in your speech where you said something shareable: "to be free, one must be responsible, and to be responsible, one must know, question, scrutinize oneself, listen to one's demons." I might not have used exactly these terms, but let's say I accept it (then you continued with other things which I won't respond to because it would be lengthy). Well, this sentence of yours is actually a concept that I've been reflecting on for a long time! Why don’t all people try to know what’s happening and face themselves and the world? Again, we could have an infinite discussion here! However, analyzing my personal situation, I remain increasingly unsure about the matter: I mean, I've had the education of many other people (with professors of every political color and often not very competent), I've been bombarded by the media, by trash, by the most insidious advertising, I had stupid toys and Britney Spears CDs in my childhood and preadolescence, I often go shopping revealing a certain superficiality in buying useless objects! In short, I do many things that, deep down, this society has instilled in me, perhaps because we all intimately want to be accepted by the group, or maybe as a pastime between one mental escape and another, or perhaps for both reasons, and because if you're not 'in', you can't even speak to people and express reflections like this one I'm making. And well, despite all this, I can still make a speech like the one at point 163, certainly with many errors, but forward-looking towards collective well-being, respect, and, anyway, progress! Not inaccessible, not fanatic! Now, why can only a minority do it? My parents are not enlightened beings, moreover, often in a family each child comes out a bit as they wish (you can find both a good man and a murderer in there), I would have many good reasons to listen to my dark side! To mind my own business at the expense of others; my own life experiences should have taught me to disregard others! To do everything for my own advantage! And yet, massively, I can't do it! In short, I'm not enlightened either, but I try to have that responsibility you talk about in that line, dear DeLorenzo. At times, it's even difficult and it really eats you up inside. Why? Why? Why all this? I don't know, and perhaps I will never know, and probably that’s why we are like this! Because if we had the recipe to raise a child on these bases, we would all be better off now.
