These days I take a phrase that resonates in the good around me, say a uttered by Don Milani (although to be honest I have not found any confirmation of that part was he really pronounced): "What will be served to have clean hands, if we have kept in his pocket." As far as I can, I'm trying to participate actively in civil and what is moving around, because what I see happening to the institutions I like it less and less. Not that I liked the first (in fact), but these days every time I read the newspaper rolled his eyes (and not really a moral lesson).
face of all this, just as he said my old professor of philosophy in high school, I take the right to be indignant. And therefore I prefer doing something indignant.
But beyond that I do personally, I prefer to talk about Flash Book .
The boys, college and high school students sit on the ground in a crowded place during the Saturday afternoon of shopping . Piazza Duomo in front of the Rinascente Cordusio Square.
In silence, each of them reading a book. A solitary reading, done in the midst of so many others, among other readings lonely.
Each of their protest quietly, reading. Do not protest for a single ground shared, but for its reason.
To affirm the importance of reading, to counter the spread of ignorance of those who are not able to support the development of education.
It is not correct at all costs to give an interpretation to this "protest" because the center is the silence and the power of reading, offered discreetly to a company that usually screams.
The pass-through, ironically, he asks, is surprised, raise your shoulders, you know, does not understand, mutters, smiling.
A creative protest and non-party that expresses a nice contrast with the amok violence that characterizes our public life. Violence as reflected in the daily life of Milan in recent days.
I'm going to look around. Why there is my son.
more strike by its willingness to participate, to socialize in a creative and constructive. Pride in being so different from me in His being outgoing and participatory.
