There is good in the bad and bad in the good, but I can’t stop thinking that “destroying” an opponent is a good thing, even if only in a discussion.

I think that ridiculizing people is terrible, I think we should try for 1 month and remove from our life

• white lies
• lies
• complaints
• insult
• making fun of people
• being aggressive

our life would be totally different. Not because this is a zen view of the world but because all these things change you. They build a path a street for you to follow and it’s always easier to follow that street once you continue.

Because insulting, complaining, making fun of others (in a bad way) it’s blatlantly easy. Too easy. It’s the shortcut because it works, because it gets the job done for you.

The limit of this way of thinking is that it’s good only in the short term. There is often a price to pay, both in the way the relationship with the other person change and directly to yourself, because you accumulate bad behaviour, you build some kind of internal violence that can direct your actions in the future.

And what about the title of this post? We’re near the italian vote for changing our parlament, and many people are rooting for one side or another, few of them are actually discussing the contents to understand.

In the eyes of those who root for one side or the other the people can only be good or bad, stupid or intelligent, evil or smart and this is partly because of this.

I rarely do. In fact I don’t recall a moment where my age was an issue for me.

That “for me” is probably the key. What if you want to go to a club but you’re too old? You won’t go because you would feel out of place.

That’s correct, and if I were to identify some kind of problem I would say that either you are forcing yourself to do something that doesn’t belong to you anymore, or you simply are worrying too much about what people might think of you.

While writing this part I also realized another thing: in both cases, it’s all about you.
Even if there was a problem with other people, it’s up to you how to deal with it, what to do and if and when get involved with “being too old”.

I think every age has its own beauty, and in my personal opinion we should live them acknowledging their issue and their strong points, because otherwise we risk to live too much in the past, trying to recall a “young version” of us that doesn’t exist anymore.

Always go the extra mile to help others, lead with a good and powerful example so that the world can improve.

If there’s someone that takes out the best of you from you and puts that out in the world, try to spend as much time you can with him or her.

Simple rule.

Many of my friends love masterchef and became excellent “handmade” chefs. They’re good at it.
And I love ethnic dishes so I mostly do recipes that come from  outside of the place I live.

At the same time every sunday I go to my family’s house and eat some classic Tuscan dish, and I wonder: what will remain of this if I don’t learn it?

Many of the people I know don’t know a thing about making it like it is now. They might be able to create new wonderful recipes, but what about what we have? What about the history behind those recipes? I think we shouldn’t let them down, we shouldn’t forget about them.

They are part of our social history and we should do our best preserving them and passing them to our children. I hope I’ll be able to maintain this part of history, the first step would be obviously to learn how to do them 🙂
