A ray of sunlight penetrates the clouds over the Po valley, which stagnated during the autumn morning. There is no fog, not yet, but at least the rain fell, soaking everything. The train runs to the south, meets the beautiful weather, bouncing, wet, dirty ... Sometimes I wonder if a country can withstand relatively civil services like this. It seems that Italy maintains the trains right now because they exist and because all in all, we already are, you might as well use them ... the trains were only!
The Italians feel a particular sense of rejection for the Common Good in the sense that seems to exist only the good of the individual and / or category, from the series: Live and let die. Arise in this context fundamentally selfish and uncaring can not influence a person, especially if it absorbs some examples of negativity from an early age. To escape this situation or you receive a proper education in the family (now more than ever we hear the disarming lack thereof), or it was already "naturally" particularly enlightened and sensitive to those forms of civil society that should be specific to each for the good of all. Let us see it as a social investment that will generate its profits and the interests: that is, a truly civil society, tidy, clean (in all senses) friendly, liveable in full. But if only a few conform to the rules of civil coexistence, on the one hand, these poor, black sheep and ridiculed by all, they do a lot of effort is often useless and maybe even throw in the towel at the end, the other loses the whole of society, because the negative behavior and selfish are apparently initially and rewarding, ending to overflow and then to invade the sphere of others, hurting others, all the others. So the more selfish and individual freedoms we take, the less it produces true freedom, even against themselves.
But what are these behaviors so despicable? This is just to look around. Some are less obvious and therefore perhaps If you do not: it is to park your car in a double row without posing many problems of time or actual emergency, seek systematically to jump the queue (here, in particular, it seems that we Italians have a compelling sense of disorder any device is allowed, you must always be alert and ready to assert ourselves to cover any gaps that could wedge some hacker! Even when there are rows with numbered cards has never totally quiet), yet, this is the case of all those (many apparently from the state of roads, squares and places frequented in general) who do not know what a trash, of those who, evidently, have a copious salivation and do not really know any way to refrain from liberating in the most varied and spectacular
... This whole series of "small" things go to form a more or less civil and urban decay. But it's not finished here. This widespread approach nurtures and reinforces a more serious contempt and annoyance to the Authority (in all its manifestations: from parents to teachers, law enforcement, politicians, etc..) And for the institutions. From there begins the general revulsion against almost all the rules, mandatory or simply appropriate, in short, to anything that requires a minimum of sacrifice. This spirit is also very closely related our history, from medieval times forward, made up of divisions and particularities, commune and sir, the Guelphs and Ghibellines, etc.. etc.. etc..! This explains, inter alia, the formation of categories and of their power and influence: untouchable transpositions individualism that already widely mentioned.
defend this state of things is easy, just make your business and continue to bear the rules, from the mundane to the most important for the nation. There are some who goes further and defends a particularly diligent and now famous so-called Caste and the freedom of the lucky few undeserving, pleased to contribute to such a sadistic social and cultural stagnation. This is called conservatism ... you see it.
