The collective shouting, deluding about the great questions of life, throws sand into the human spirit and diverts it from the essential. One who spends his days distracted and judging important second-rate problems, when violently struck by a great issue, loses control: he simply has not prepared himself. To know how to deal with the great events, not letting himself act stupidly and impulsively when surprised, prior and regular reflection is necessary. And reflection, in turn, demands detachment from collective shouting. Crossing the boundary of judgment, the individual analysis of the flock ends up inspiring gigantic compassion…

Screaming in Front of a Screen
I try to concentrate on a difficult reading and the neighbor, screaming in front of a screen, punching the walls, stomping hard from one side to the other, does not permit. The text is Christian, Christian mysticism. And instead of reading it, absorbing it, I reflect on whether or not I should forgive the animal that screams endlessly.

Listen, O soul, ask for them and thank them, always! And the relationships—all of them!—have a commercial character. That is to say: the human being comes into existence for “customer satisfaction”. With a smile stretched out on his face, he shows maturity when he strives to please. Always the others, always the extra, always the group as sovereign criteria of validation of one’s own acts. And the “common sense” forcing the universality of submission. Oh, species! whose remnants of dignity seem subordinate to a voluntary migration of individuals back to the forest…

An Anti-Marketing Attitude
If virtue usually manifests itself in abstention, in the negative, in the annulment of natural dispositions, and if its aspect is generally rough, cold, and intransigent, one must conclude that it demands an active posture in favor of the depreciation of one’s own image, that is, an essentially anti-marketing attitude—on a personal level, it is true, but is it still possible to divide it?
