"More than ideas, it is the interests that separate people. ”(Alexis de Tocqueville- writer and historian 1805-1859)

"More than ideas, it is the interests that separate people. ”(Alexis de Tocqueville- writer and historian 1805-1859) In these times, and also in others, we do not even realize that the past must constantly prove that it existed. In reality everything that our memory does not retain (everyone complains about their lack of memory) or what has been forgotten, or even that did not exist, occupy the same place in our lives. As Alexis de Tocqville said: "When the past ceases to illuminate the future, people's minds wander through the darkness." Whether we are attentive or not, there is a lot of reality walking around, perhaps and in general fragile, but carried only by a single person. If that person disappears, that whole reality disappears without appeal, there is no way to recover it, it is as if it had not existed, without the possibility of an alternative resource. Pay attention to the words of the writer Paulo Coelho. ” Behind the ice mask that people wear, there is a heart of fire. So whenever possible, be clear. But that your clarity is not the reason to hurt others. ” We can conclude that to be assertive is to be coherent to the letter with what we think and feel, and to affirm it without appeal or grievance, without false moralisms or pity for anyone, just and only because we respect ourselves, being the immense truth, although no one has understood as a whole, we are not aware that anyone has complained about their lack of common sense, sometimes we really need to feel that we have, by not letting ourselves be imprisoned by a place, although there are times when we feel the need to be there, and we end up giving ourselves only to those who think like us, a big mistake we made because we created the false idea about what surrounds us. ” In this world there is no universal truth. The same truth can present different physiognomies. It all depends on the decipherments made through our intellectual, philosophical, cultural and religious prisms. ”(Dalai Lama) In these times, and in general in all times, we have to have the perception, or even the feeling, that everyone has a purpose in this world and, in this sense, it is our duty to discover how we can collaborate to make life more prosperous and beautiful. , not only ours, but mainly that of all those around us! As Nelson Mandela said: “To be free is not just to take the chains off, but to live being able to respect and improve the freedom of others. After climbing a large mountain, it is discovered that there are many other mountains to climb ””
