Location (almost) dummy created for the task in class, but is the argument that counts, right?
At the Annual Meeting in Rimini
COMPANY 'OF HEALTH: NOT JUST DORMANT
Consumerism and the lesson Heraclitean
I suspect myself. So goes the famous line from a fragment of the greek philosopher Heraclitus, the contemporary character that appears dark and unclear, as are considered cryptic and aseptic his speculations. In reality, however, the complex reasoning that the phrase meant to summarize the above philosopher, you can even translate to people today.
More precisely, Heraclitus divided humanity into two: the awake , those who exploited the logos , That is the reason, and dormant i, ie those who follow the via fallacious d and senses.
Nowadays, the problem is not so ethical grading, but still there: there's cute, as are the sleepers.
The assumption that one must ask is: today's society is dominated by money and the idea of \u200b\u200bwellness. This is covered in Rimini, the twenty-ninth Meeting edition of the traditional Catholic, and you try to deny this truth, but this is not possible: it is, in fact, the principle of capitalism on which all developed countries based their economic base.
Clearly, in the sixties, no one felt the need for a computer, why did not exist, but now, yes, because it is a tool to say the least popular that it has simplified the work and communications. This does not mean, however, condemn materialism as the "desire of the masses" of the PC. And you really can not criticize consumerism per se, but rather the people who let themselves be manipulated by this "frenzy" here those that can be defined as dormant, which is cradled by the idea of \u200b\u200bowning, and that they have the most beautiful object in the market, what you saw in a shop window, or when she felt the advertising on the radio. As long as you do not get that specific tangible property, we do not give peace. This is why many scholars at the Meeting, we have defined a companies malaise . But it is very certain that the man, thrown on the wave of consumerism, no longer has time for herself, and that his mind is formed, so that what you want in reality is not lost and that each value ethically acceptable? If there were to be so cute.
Instead, a large proportion of Americans (meaning, in developed countries) do not correspond to these fees: they, who would those pensan or as defined Heraclitus. In addition, there are values \u200b\u200bthat can be shared and undeniable for all: so much so that concepts such as family , friendship , culture , fulfillment and love have varying importance for everyone. And I wake up has its own thought, following his own way, does not affect what they see or hear, which may believe it or not, and his mind is not manipulated by pubbilcità, which looks with a critical eye.
It is therefore correct that the company XXI century is so dull, flat, and, in some ways absurd, that knows how to defend themselves from images and sounds which is bombarded every day.
Each man should learn to investigate them, (though it is a process that defined the same Heraclitus avrebbepoi difficult), and to do this is to raise your head, look around and, without estrangement from reality in which they live, begin to think with your mind, which every man has and that is different from other animals.
