One of the first things we learn as humans is that when you use violence it means that you have loose.
Not having the human capacity of using the discussion bring us to a lower level then the animal who fights for surviving not for interest or fun.
I have always disapproved Mr. Gheddafi , but more then him I have always disapproved Italian government and most of the Europeans, who was accepting his outrageous actions for interest.
It sounds so hypocrite to see now all the chiefs raising their voice and weapon against him, not for the good of the Libyans but for the interest of their own interests.
I am not with Gheddafi, we were suppose to stop him before and with different action, and arguments. Using the violence is only showing how week we are as occidental culture. We do not have the capacity of using the right scale of values, we are deem to disappear because we have no spirit's strength.
I am looking around, and it is very sad to see that today we do not have a moral direction; we do not keep the life, the spirit and the human being in any account.
As single individuals we are still able to see that all the recent chooses and events are wrong. But we have loose the capacity as collectivity to react.
It is sad to see that also if we are interconnecting ourselves with the community as never happen before, and also if we are aware of what is going on for the good and for the bad, We are totally isolated completely incapable of a direct action and human association against the evil around us.
War is always the wrong answer; war today is like the first ape using the bone against the other apes because not able to do anything different.
If we still use war we are less then that ape, and we have wasted millions of years.
We should wake up and stop this madness, we should remember that we are not that ape any longer.
I am inserting here two different "thoughts" about the war.
The second is the quite famous song WAR; the first is a short poem from the Italian's poet Trilussa who was also a good friend of my grandfather.
Ner mejo che un Sordato annava in guerra
er Cavallo je disse chiaramente:
Io nun ce vengo! - e lo buttò per terra
precipitosamente.
No, nun ce vengo - disse - e me ribbello
all'omo che t'ha messo l'odio in core
e te commanna de scannà un fratello
in nome der Signore!
Io - dice - so' 'na bestia troppo nobbile
p'associamme a l'infamie che fai tu;
se vôi la guerra vacce in automobbile,
n'ammazzerai de più!
I am trying to translate it hoping I am not damaging it too much:
While in the middle of a war soldier on horseback
His horse stops and said clearly to him:
I will not come! - and threw it on the ground
precipitously.
No, I will not come - he said - and I rebelled
To the one who put hatred in your heart
and commands you to kill a brother
in the name of the Lord!
I - he says – am a too noble animal
to join the infamy that you do;
if you want this war use a car,
you will kill them more!
Well here the song not too far :
War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War is something that i despise
For it means destruction of innocent lives
For it means tears in thousands of mothers' eyes
When their sons go out to fight to give their lives
War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War
It's nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
War is the enemy of all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
Handed down from generation to generation
Induction destruction
Who wants to die
War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War has shattered many young men's dreams
Made them disabled bitter and meanlife is too precious to be fighting wars
Each day
War can't give life it can only take it away
War
It's nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
Peace love and understanding
There must be some place for these things today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But lord there's gotta be a better way
That's better than
War
War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
