Ethical choices and not just "selfish" ones

I'm "fighting" the posts pro Elon Musk and Tesla because it seems like memory is too short and I'm writing this: Just because a Tesla is a good product doesn't mean the head of the company that produces it is who you think he is. Have we forgotten when Teslas were BURNT? On...See more

Studying

Studying is often associated with something boring: if it's not "active" (that is, if you don't try to "master" what you're studying), it's definitely boring: just notions without "soul." In my opinion, it's the first step to effective study: then I bet passion will come because there's a sort of "exhilaration" in learning various things, and passion grows precisely when you realize they're useful.

Holidays

Holidays are a suspension: you do what you want, when you want. Some walk, some explore, some bask in the sun, some dive. The deception is believing you can only unplug there, only then. So you expect to never be able to take it again. The place helps, but it only helps. If you don't learn to loosen your grip, even in the most beautiful place in the world, the effect doesn't last long.

Civic education

Civic education is fundamental, and today we see the ignorance surrounding it: a poorly understood Constitution, economic development and sustainability still based on technological resources that clash with livability (nuclear plants and fossil fuels like oil), digital...See more

Arguing

Arguing is part of human nature, and in my opinion, it's completely wrong to avoid confrontation. But discussion should be a confrontation, not a fight: it should be based on sincere dialogue, which is, first and foremost, listening. When we argue, we're so "blinded" by the desire to be right that we stop listening and simply want to "vomit" our arguments. The goal, instead, should be the search for truth, and truth is discovered together, not alone

Honesty

They pronounce the word HONESTY in every way, almost as if pronouncing it creates a scapegoat for their own misdeeds. Honesty is a way of thinking about one's life; otherwise, words alone sound empty. One must demonstrate honesty, not just say it. We must be honest in everything we do, both at work and in our professional life, because practical demonstration is the best antidote to rhetoric.

For the future, I will no longer tolerate vulgarity and anti-Semitism (Jews, etc.). Everyone is entitled to their own ideas, but they must be expressed with politeness and respect, otherwise they will be blocked

Ethics in politics

In my opinion, today we think too pragmatically and see the outcome in something that belongs to everyone, like politics. Machiavelli's famous phrase, "the end justifies the means," is extremely dangerous, especially when it comes to social issues: moral choices should be a...See more
