"La storia infinita" and materialism that kills
by

“It is easier to dominate those who believe in nothing”
The never-ending story, 1979
With this sentence Gmork, the character "servant of the Power behind Nothingness", he explained to the young knight Atreyu why the fantastic world of Fantàsia, fruit of hopes, of inventions and even of human dreams, had to be destroyed.
The novel The never-ending story, released in 1979, tells the story of little Bastiano, one little boy left orphan of the mother and in complicated relationships with the father, who through reading a mystical book rediscovers the path to life. A life that is not an end in itself, but capable of saving a parallel universe at the same time, Fantasy to be precise, progressively eroded by a mysterious entity (il Nothing) which is leading it to inevitable extinction.
Fantàsia is the allegory of human creativity: a true thermometer of men's ability to dream, of their tendency to set themselves spiritual objectives - even before material ones - which may appear impossible but which can constitute the leitmotif of their very existence. In a real world where no one dreams anymore, imagine or simply idealize, the fantastic representation of being and any further projection are destined to perish. Read More

RETURN TO THE STUDY OF THE CLASSICS? WE SAY YES
by

In the face of a progressive impoverishment of the Italian language and its study (to which the abominable amount of time we spend on social media certainly contributes) there are those who propose to reinstate the study of Latin in middle school.
Latin, as a sort of “precursor”, it could strengthen the grammatical and syntactic foundations that are the basis of our language, just as the study of classical culture could strengthen our ability to think and argue. It is not easy to express oneself on an issue such as the reintroduction of Latin in schools: good thing, old thing or simply “thing”?
Reflecting, but, we have recovered an excerpt from Antonio Gramsci, which deserves to be read: “Latin is not studied to learn Latin, we study to get kids used to studying, to analyze a historical body that can be treated like a corpse but which continually recomposes itself into life. Naturally, I don't believe that Latin and Greek have intrinsic thaumaturgical qualities: I say that in a given environment, in a given culture, with a given tradition, the study thus graduated gave those certain effects. Latin and Greek can be substituted and they will be replaced usefully, but it will be necessary to know how to arrange the new subject or the new series of subjects didactically, in order to obtain equivalent results of general human education, starting from a young boy up to the age of professional choice".
(SOURCE: Antonio Gramsci, Notebooks from prison, Einaudi, 1975)
The study of Latin, traditionally, it occurred simultaneously with the study of the classical cultural corpus: from great authors to philosophy. It is precisely this holistic approach that has made Greek and Latin the subjects of choice for the intellectual elite. And that's exactly it holistic approach that we should follow in the choice to restore Latin to middle school or to orient ourselves towards another cultural model. It doesn't matter what the model is, but we must assure them of the solidity that classical studies have built over two millennia.

The mission of the Lawyer
by

of the lawyer. Andrea Sartori of Verona

Lawyer a mission

My profession is a mission.

Yes, I say this without presumption, but for experience.
It's a mission because assisting people and trying to solve their problems is a mission, consolatory, because the first impact you have with the customer is always that of upset over something that isn't working, which is not according to the law.
So, listen to how the problem is experienced, frame the person in front of you, make her understand that whoever is in front of her is not just a legal expert, but he is a person who can also understand the discomfort or anger of explaining why he is there on an appointment, And comprehension.

This is how empathy is born.

The first step to get into the problem and get the person to leave their thoughts in the office.
It's a mission intercession, towards the other party, towards the judge, to reach the goal, that of restore legality.
It also happens when there is no judge involved and the needs seem purely economic.
Every problem has a root of misunderstanding at its base, the first misunderstanding comes from those who experience the problem, then there is that of those who don't accept the problem, and also that of those who reject the solution.
Sometimes they ask me to work because “It's a question of principle”.
They thus lose sight of the fact that the real problem is understanding what the principle is.
And then they also lose the dispute, they risk no longer even understanding where their request came from.
In church, next to my father, listening to the homily last week, I heard the parish priest say: Jesus was the first lawyer, called to intercede with God for the salvation of souls.
Ecco, I am not Jesus, my father is not God, I don't save souls, but I propose possible solutions, trying to use legal instruments as best as possible and honestly.
Results cannot be measured, in my opinion, on the number of victories. I don't go into battle.
I measure the results on the satisfaction of the person who has trusted and trusted.
Someone takes advantage of it, patience. Next time with some other patron, he will understand.
It's a job, and like all jobs it must be paid. But for me it's not just a job.

Book Fair: the thought police censor inconvenient journalists
by

Of Enrica Perucchietti
Source: Revolution
A few days before the start of the event, "red" censorship was triggered at the Turin Book Fair: some journalists and the publisher Francesco Giubilei they were branded as “neo-fascists and racistsyes Christian Raimo That, being a member of the Salon's editorial committee, plays an institutional role…(see the article by Francesco Giubilei).
They ended up in the sights of the thought police respectively:Alessandro Giuli(journalist, television writer and co-host of Povera Patria, he confirmed to me that he hadn't even been invited, so he didn't have any events scheduled),Francesco Borgonovo(former editor-in-chief of the newspaper «Libero» and author of La Gabbia on La7, he is now editor-in-chief for «La Verità», essayist and host of Iceberg on Telelombardia) eAdriano Scianca(director of «Il Primato Nazionale», collaborator of «La Verità» and national culture manager for CasaPound Italia).Evidently they would like to be prevented from attending the Fair and from expressing themselves freely.
In the current society ofpolitically correct, in which everything is spectacularized and trivialized, those who do not align with the single thought are denigrated, persecuted and branded with the stigma of "fascism".
The paradox is that violence, censorship and the squad attitude comes precisely from those who cloak themselves in do-gooder slogans and stuff their mouths with politically correct mantras. Political correctness has become a real ideology that rewrites the language, it indicates a morality to be followed and reprograms the minds and behaviors of the masses. Read More

Europa 'islamizzata': in Berlin Mohamed is the most chosen name
by

The Christian roots of our countries are increasingly at risk.
In many European countries there is a real process of "Islamization" and the data relating to registered births also testify to this. According to what emerged from a report by the Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache, the most important language institution financed by the German government, Mohamed would be the most chosen name among the little ones who came into the world during 2018. The prophet's appellation thus surpasses “Paul”, which until last year had been the most chosen by new parents in the city, for their newborns.
The fact that Mohamed (in all its graphic variations) is now so widespread is certainly an indicator of at least two trends: which has Berlin there Islamic community is growing in an unstoppable manner and that most of the births registered in the city are due precisely to Muslims.
In this budget, somewhat disheartening due to the evident risk that the cultural roots of all of Europe are at, also fits Bremen, another important center of Germany. Who, Mohamed is the third most chosen name.

Maria Montessori, a life among Freemasons, modernists and feminists
by
 

Maria Montessori, among the first women to graduate in Medicine in Italy and to be counted among the pioneers of feminism, she was a forerunner of gender ideology. Interesting to read what the active Catholic Princess Maria Cristina Giustiniani Bandini thought of her (1866-1959), which, precisely because it is Catholic, it has been locked away by the secular intelligentsia:
«The vestals of feminism frequent modernist circles, starting with the president of the National Council of Women, Countess Gabriella Spalletti and the vice president, Dora Melegari […] But among all these ladies, the most dangerous is Maria Montessori […] I find her a presumptuous and exhibitionist woman, with absolutely subversive ideas. […] he argued that the best way to help the family in Italy is sexual education in childhood, and to explain it he used crude and unacceptable language»[1].
Montessori wanted to revolutionize humanity:
«Each one, in life, he has a function that he does not know he has and which is related to the good of others. The aim of the individual is not to live better, but to develop certain circumstances that are useful to others. The great law that regulates life in the cosmos is that of collaboration between all beings. Deepening the study of this law means working for the triumph of union between various peoples, and so, for the triumph of human civilization»[2].

The dark side of happy countries
by


Today, 2 April 2019, on 'veneziepost': “Happiness also influences voting. Where there is none, populists win”, by Alberto Mattioli.
“Italy 36th in the World Happiness Report presented at Bocconi. The Scandinavians are in the lead. The experts: 'Well-being conditions participation in political life and the choice of party'.”
With the following article we show you how happy Scandinavians are.
by Giulio Meotti, “The Sheet”
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland. Wellbeing rankings always reward them but why do happy countries have such high suicide rates? Numbers of a counter-history
Asked where the happiest country in the world is, we hear the answer that it is somewhere up there, in Nord Europa. Effectively, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland have stood out in all the world rankings of the most blessed countries for ten years now. Oslo has just displaced Copenhagen at the top of the United Nations happiness index. They are among the darkest and coldest countries in the world, so these very high rates of happiness must depend on the type of society they have built. “A country with sixty percent taxes and where everyone is happy to pay them”, as the Observer defined Sweden. Norwegian prisons are once “superior” to any other penitentiary on the planet. Another is the Swedish roads, the safest in the world. These five countries can boast the most cutting-edge school systems (Finland); an example of a secular society, multicultural, modern and industrial envied by all (Sweden); a colossal oil wealth reinvested in ethical causes (Norway); the most gender-equal society in the world and the longest-living men (Iceland). As the cabaret artist Magnus Betner wrote, we imagine Sweden as “a nation of beautiful people singing happy songs in elegant modernist apartments”. Or as the Telegraph's Judith Woods wrote: “We would all like to be Scandinavian!”. And progressives all over the planet would like it to be so, da Bernie Sanders a Paul Krugman. “If you want the American dream, go to Finland”, said British Labor leader Ed Miliband.
