It Is With Him That I Go….

There is no irony potent enough to express all the joy of these lines, now surrounded by lively jingles. The truth is that the words, stimulated, are already dancing. Oh, language, how impressive you are when well carved! Future, work, better, real, real, like us, different, different… Hope is the noblest of all the noble gifts given to the noble human spirit. The face, when it smiles in return for the promise, shows the virtue of the soul able to trust the sister of blessing. And together, in harmony, they are both predestined to build the Blessed Municipal Paradise!

The “Motivational Therapy”

It is amazing to see that exactly in the century immediately following the eruption of the geniuses of modern psychology, the so-called “motivational therapy” is so successful. “Overcoming problems”: this is the impossibility—when we consider real psychological traumas—transformed into a product in the marketing era. When the means for a drastic deepening in the understanding of the psychology of the human being, of the origin of traumas arise, and when there is the possibility of using cognition to alleviate their unwanted effects, reduce their means of action—and never overcome them, eliminate them—man turns his back on knowledge and opts for the path of childhood, exchanges analytical prudence for happy psychology, psychology whose practice is summed up in “thinking positive” and acting like a child in the face of the traumas that overwhelm, sometimes without emitting a signal. Everything seems evidence that geniuses, when they appear, do it in vain…

What Is Called “Society” Requires the Representation of a Role

What is called “society” requires the representation of a role from everyone. And freedom begins after this refusal. Brilliantly exposed by Jung is the irreconcilable clash between the collective and the individual psyche, which leads the human being to one between two alternatives: either to repress his individuality and become a socially accepted sheep or to break with society and suffer the consequences of this decision. There is no escape, the existence of “society” induces an active posture, if not of acceptance, of refusal. So we can see which decision is the easiest and infinitely more profitable. On the other hand, it remains evident which human beings are intellectually worthy of respect—and which are not.
