The Golden Child of John Feo
published the post that John Feo wrote for our blog, thanks John!
-reading your blog, I felt an immediate feeling of déjà vu.
messages for young people who write on the blog, tell off a country where there is no chance 'meeting ("they closed the cinema"), where the streets are just machines, tourists and a sense of vacuum, a country where so many go away or are considering.
When I arrived, thirty years ago, the country, the square and the streets were alive and lived but then, in a few years, began desertification, civil death.
The problem is serious. Possible future without young people there, no life.
And not enough good intentions and optimism of those who, no longer young, and manages the institutions have already been a position.
The soul of a place, when it goes out as you relive the beautiful postcards and even the food is good enough.
Twenty years ago, I was about to go away, but luckily for me, something unexpected happened
that forced me to stay and began to work with an opportunity to arrivatami from outside, otherwise I would have to emigrate. Many believe they are aware of an apparent paradox:
the beauty of this land and a unique natural environment, which in other hilly regions has already been deleted from
civilization.
Then the monuments, Etruscan civilization abandoned in the bush, the remains of lost civilizations and mysterious. Yet all this great wealth of nature, landscapes and history for young people is as if there was.
Apart from the short months that tourism is an unproductive asset, in terms of employment, can offer little to young.
Youth, especially today, can not be treated with disdain and superficiality. As
growth, education el 'learning.
In the oldest tales of the mythical figure "divine child" has always played an important role, representing the importance of life that must be constantly renewed and never stop.
For the Etruscans called the Divine Child Tages , born of mother earth, who came to bring knowledge and revelations.
The "New" is always a child, certainly not a senior.
In the myth, Tages is a child with the wisdom of the Romans anziano.Per the story began with two children, twins .
For Christians was always a Child to inaugurate the "new era".
All these old stories are not fables, but the expression of a life that needs to go on the
"New", of renewal, without which there is stasis, the drying and at the end of the day, when alone, even the most
good food leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
