La Fortuna di Essere Liberi - The Luck to Be Free
Poche volte ci accorgiamo di come siamo fortunati a vivere in paese libero, nel quale possiamo votare ed esprimere la nostra opinione. In Cina per esempio può essere pericoloso parlare in pubblico di politica, o addirittura può esserlo scrivere un blog come il mio. Il nostro paese ci ha permesso si sviluppare una cultura critica, ci ha resi capaci di pensare in modo indipendente. Ciò rende noi giovani ancora più da biasimare. Abbiamo tutto ciò che ci serve per cambiare il nostro paese, ma non alziamo un dito. Lo guardiamo affondare, anche un cieco lo vedrebbe. I nostri genitori hanno lottato negli anni '70 per modernizzare l'Italia (l'hanno poi veramente fatto, o solo in superficie?), perchè noi stiamo fermi? Perchè non ci uniamo e facciamo sentire la nostra voce? Perchè non facciamo si che non si senta più la tipica frase: eh ma in UK è tutto un altro mondo? Abbiamo un paese nelle nostre mani, possiamo intervenire perchè viviamo in un paese democratico. Non è cosi difficile.
Few times we realize how lucky we are to live in a free country in which we can vote and express our opinion. In China, for example, it could be dangerous to talk about politics in a public place, or also writing a blog like mine. Our country let us develop a critic culture, and made us capable to think independently. This means that the blame should be even more on us. We have all that we need to change our country, but we do not rise a finger. We watch it drowning, even a blind would notice that. Our parents fought in the 70s, to modernize Italy (did they really do that? or just on the surface?), why are we still? Why don't we get together and let our voice loud? Why we don't let anyone say anymore: life is better in UK? We have a country in our hands, we can intervene because we live in a democratic country. It is not that difficult.
Thanks a lot for your comment. I am glad that Chinese people are reading my blog. I really think that China has a huge potential as a country and I am really fascinated by your culture and history. However, Chinese officials do not permit you to access information that everywhere else is possible to access. If you say what you think about the government they could send you to prison without any reason. I think you answered youself when you said "you can say what you want but it depends how seriously you are against the government". This means that you have freedom as long as you don't criticize the government. This equals to no freedom. You are not allowed to elect your politicians and to discuss issues that can change your lives. Workers have no rights and if they rebel they are simply killed. Inequality in China has surpassed that of the US. Is that communism? Is where Chinese people want to go? (Comment this)
thanks a lot for your comments. The first evidence of what I said is Tienammen Square massacre, even if in China is still a taboo to talk about that. Recently there are continuous riots by poor peasants, and they are "calmed" by the police simply shooting at them. Another example is the massacre of the Fulan Gong "sect". If you need a formal proof I can send you the links and you can have a look, so that you can see the type of tortures used on people who do not think like the regime. (Comment this)
