's a way of saying a little' romanaccio but " words are zero "is part of my thinking! Unfortunately you can not live by facts alone, especially now that communication is a job that earns lots of money! There is little to be done and many problems must be solved by words alone! Problems of any kind ... yes, in fact we all have problems, right? Who with love, with work, friends ... there are those who own them in the head! With words you can mediate, there are agreements and compromises, large or small. With words you can bring up something pretty bad and ugly a thing of beauty. Almost like magic, indeed ... an illusion! Sometimes you may want to say things you do not really think, maybe because you need to accommodate an issue or to get them through in a given situation, a bad time of transit (which we would say in Latin "schifosissimus Transitum).
The character you see in the photo is Steve Biko, picture in a book called "I write what i like" (I write what I want). He really said what he thought, and he did it to free his people from apartheid. Biko preached "black consciousness" as the main weapon to fight colonialism. His battle was made especially for words. His speech was very simple and still not bat an eyelid, if the blacks will go ahead a considerarsi di razza inferiore, allora i bianchi continueranno sentirsi superiori! Un discorso semplice, elementare e logico, che purtroppo portò Steve Biko alla morte.
E’ abbastanza triste oggi vedere in TV tanta gente che dichiara orgogliosamente “io dico sempre quello che penso”…e a parte il fatto che non è quasi mai vero, bisognerebbe anche capire che il problema non è tanto quello che dici o non dici…ma è proprio quello che pensi!!
Allora mettiamola così: non è importante quanto si fa a parole o quanto si fa con i fatti…la cosa più importante è saper PENSARE.
