The Punisher

Well done Feede: this is truly speaking without any blinders! :-)

I wanted to write "sfrizzola" or "sollukkera" (with the 2 k) but it seemed worse.....

I have the bad habit of not savoring each word drop by drop when I write a comment, and "intrigare" came out, which may not be entirely precise but gives a sense...

I thought better. I thought much better.

The sentences are more or less taken and reworked from the book; some I agree with, others less so, but all provide great insights (for those who know how to grasp them and are intrigued by certain discussions). For those who are doubtful, biased, fearful, or simply couldn't care less, there are no worries: they will keep their distance like the Bubonic Plague of the 1600s, and no one will ever be able to change their mind. C'est la Vie.... and it’s right that it is so!! :-)))

Dear Kosmolina, I am NOT fixated on a particular guru, let alone "just one," but I enjoy reading and engaging in discussions on ethical and spiritual themes, drawing inspiration from everything. By chance, I came across Osho and I must admit he writes beautiful, insightful, and shareable things. That's all. I am almost never biased about things, but I love to judge based on the thoughts and the material I read in books like this. From that to becoming a member of a cult... there's a big difference!!! :-))

Kosmo: let me tell you "I DON'T GIVE A DAMN" about what later became the applications, the sects, the schools, or the doctrines of his disciples. I have read the books (not just this one), and I tell you that his analyses and reflections are shocking and leave one speechless. Everything that later turns into speculation, profit, and "religion" frankly does NOT interest me. I've seen and been through it myself...

It goes without saying that if you, dear IL PAOLO, think that your Values are being heterosexual, hooking up with the hottest girl in town, building a promising career with international earning prospects and image returns, holding on to a job for life, mingling with the jet set of the industry... you probably will NEVER be able to read and understand what lies behind Osho's Thought. I would say that it makes perfect sense. :-)

An album that always reconciles me with Battiato.

It seems to me that debating the summer cover with a bare torso or other details is a sign of total idiocy or absolute genius: depending on the point of view.
