. . . E DI ALTRE PICCOLE COSE.

"We live in a culture that produces hyperarousal and hyperactive hyperstimulation in anyone who is exposed. There is too much movement, too much noise, too many sounds, too many things and too much dirt. (...) You can survive without going really crazy, but in order of not freak out, you have to close the sensory channels, so you do not hear the noise, does not see the dirt and not feel the constant movement. But now comes a similar hyperactivity in our homes with televisions, cars, technology. In this culture you can not slow down or shut up. Hyperactivity is fueled by the frustration of the inability to stay in touch with the deepest core, the inner part, of our being or spirit. Our culture is directed outwards as soon as we try to find the meaning of life, in the sensation, and not in the feeling, in doing, and not being, in possessing things, and not in our own selves. It 'a madness that drives us crazy because it pulls us from our roots in nature, from the land on which we stand, from reality. "
