“To make reality bearable, we all have to cultivate some small follies in our hearts.” (Marcel Proust - In Search of Lost Time)

“To make reality bearable, we all have to intimately cultivate some small follies.”(Marcel Proust - In Search of Lost Time) Nowadays, we compete almost with our own shadow, in the search to always do better, more beautiful and grander. So we consume "our time"….in these things that make us live mired in a fictitious world of propaganda and counter-propaganda and we are unable to think and discuss the real problems of life. Theoretically it is known that the earth rotates, but in fact we don't notice it, the ground we walk on doesn't seem to move and we live peacefully. This is what happens with “Time in life!” As Plato said: “Try to move the world - the first step will be to move yourself. Don't wait for a crisis to find out what's important in your life.” All these signs, it is better to repeat, may just be the foam of our days. But they denote an ethical lack of respect for dignity and human rights, including the right to think differently and individual freedom for all citizens. And they also show the risk of civilizational regression that democracy is experiencing today. “The ignorant affirm, the wise doubt, the sensible reflect. There never was great intelligence without a streak of madness.” (Aristotle) ​​We should all be fully aware that the purpose of disinformation is not to make people believe propaganda, but to ensure that people don't know what they should believe. . And therefore feel that you cannot believe in anything. Nobody knows what the world will be like tomorrow, but we think it makes perfect sense to make three wishes for you. We are inspired by the images that enter us daily, whether we like it or not, “inside the house”, especially about the war in Ukraine (a country that is increasingly destroyed) and the United States (a country where political power has neither lucidity nor courage to put an end to the growing number of massacres in schools), which we summarize in this phrase by John Locke: "Where there is no law, there is no liberty." Believe it and believe it (especially the younger ones): Life can be beautiful and exciting. Everything is in our hands. As Socrates – the Greek philosopher – said: “The unexamined life is not worth living. Wise is he who knows the limits of his own ignorance.” Perhaps this first sentence by David Hume is the inspiration for the maxim beauty is in the eye of the beholder? “The beauty of things exists in the mind of those who contemplate them.” And isn't that right? Everything we see is relative and built according to our cultures, experiences, etc. And finally, if politicians “claim to be vital” for the European Union to increase the budget for defense, it will not be even more important to increase the budget for education and culture? Because only then will we be able to make “Bellum sine Bello”!!!! As Vergilio Ferreira said: “A life only has a story from the beginning to the end, if you have it from the end to the beginning.”
