Purple Spot On Dog's Testicles

The poetry of a cold pre-Christmas Sunday

always live so ambivalent atmosphere of Christmas: I do not hate the confusion, the race of consumerism and the ensuing chaos, social and family obligations that require the hours lost in traffic, hysteria. I rather like the break from the daily routine and I like the reflection on themes that emerge, however, even among a dinner and bingo, I love to have more time available to me, my children, people where I love you.

I do not want to dive into a ball

road

I'm so tired

shoulders

Let
well as a
what

placed in a corner

and Here Forgot


does not feel the heat more

I'm good with the four

somersaults

smoke of the hearth.

Giuseppe Ungaretti

Culture Children

the triumph of the psychoanalysis, childhood was a well of conflict, but the general tendency today to make all childish is the shortcut to happiness democratic mass. Never before in recent years have been published many books on the psychology of childhood regression, or there were many phenomena of young people who refuse to become adults. The lack of political commitment, the replacement of social criticism with the "compassionate conservatism", the transformation of religious rituals in singing festivals, the success of books that use the language of fairy tales, the audience of programs with a maximum level from middle school, success at every age group of films suitable for babies, the return of comic book superheroes, the increase among women and uomini del consumo di dolciumi, zaini, cappellini e T-shirt stampate rappresentano un fenomeno di attualità sociale.

In realtà, non si vuole cancellare il trascorrere degli anni soltanto nell'apparenza: si cerca di cancellarlo anche dalla coscienza. Senza Dio, senza impegni importanti, gli adulti più giovani si piegano o fuggono verso scenari dove possono travestirsi da altri personaggi, come spesso fanno i bambini.Essere come un bimbo equivale ad avere la possibilità di godere delle piccole cose, di affrontare il lavoro come un gioco e di confondere i giochi con l'esperienza della vita.
