Dear reader,
yesterday I saw the DVD of the film The First Line of Renato De Maria, an adaptation of the book by Sergio Segio , a former fighter Front Line, recently released from prison and committed in voluntary social work. The film is a lucid account of the history of Italian terrorism in the late 70's and early 80, an explicit admission of guilt of the protagonist (the same Sergio, played with intensity and extent Riccardo Scamarcio to the best of its capacity). Not even an apology for a time of terrorism, while explaining the reasons, but a search of atonement through the discovery inhumanity of the choice of violence as a means of subversion and revolution. Along with a Scamarcio always good and beautiful Giovanna Mezzogiorno, who embodies the soul of the passionate fight, harder to change his mind.
But beyond the film to reflect on violence as an instrument of unlawful construction of social life, because violence is not only one of the attacks and terrorists, sometimes violence is the institutions, sometimes in life the violence is that psychological and economic system of the theological dogmas and "non-negotiable principles". The violence has a terrible power of seduction, the classic expression "the end justifies the means", which is right to subjugate the other physically or psychologically, or morally, for his own good "or worse" for the good of all. " Violence is always justified it and still does. At least subversive and revolutionary violence, with its position of "outlaws" can not hide much of its nature evil.
The real problem is the institutionalized violence, the "legal" systems of social, political, economic, religious, which is hidden behind the codes and the claims of "security", as in our wretched Italy today. Fears that the "disorder" and look for the 'order', which then often becomes a "normal" or approval, flattening, decerebration widespread ... Because the "other", always "they" never "we" are stupid and should be guided from above, as children, even as a puppet ... without dignity, who is also the dignity of being able to make mistakes, learn from their mistakes, to experience the hard way, that is genuine and not always "packed" and "digested".
The "security", the "law" and the 'order at all costs "at a price, dangerous and heavy, which then produces monsters who knows our history," terrorism "on one side and" dictatorship " other. Everything for not addressing the "fear" indispensable aspect of human experience, when you conscious of its finitude, fragility and limited Intrinsically, nothing, no certainty, dogma, legal or ideological, can dispel. Except maybe the authentic experience, a deep and shared understanding of the Faith, or any aspect as it takes ...
you soon!
