"There are times when the greatest wisdom is to seem to know nothing." (Sun Tzu)

"There are times when the greatest wisdom is to seem to know nothing." (Sun Tzu) In these times that are not ours, we feel that the days have “24 hours, of shorter duration”, and sometimes we feel that we need so many friends who have already left. Whether we like it or not we have to admit that we are very concerned with everything around us, but we still have some hope that it will be possible to improve the situation so that future generations can live in tolerant, solidary and peaceful societies, such as the words that Dr. Maria Barroso, left us: “I have not lost hope that we will improve our situation, just as I have not lost hope that Europe and the world will improve. Each of us must give a little bit of ourselves, the world can be improved. We must put the best of ourselves in shaping the minds of the youngest, heads that are constantly disturbed by the violence of our times. Television has a great influence - as Father António Vieira used to say, what enters through the eyes has more strength than what enters through the ears - but even so, I have faith. And the family is fundamental, that the youngsters believe in this and in the formation of peaceful and tolerant citizens who help us to walk on the right road ”. So perhaps we can here recall Charles Baudelaire, an individualist, who interpretively assisted and reflected the society emerging from the French revolution, namely the restoration of the old norms by old and new actors and the use of the masses to reconstruct a society of privileges, in short, the “Manipulation of the masses” as today happens in a way adapted to the new media, but in the end the irrationality of the masses remains as well as the convenience of their manipulation to obtain the intended effects. Justice has nothing to do with this, the judicial system, as an instrument of politicians, has everything. "It cannot be marked exactly where an influence ends, but that influence will replace the entire generation that suffered it in their youth" (Charles Baudelaire)
