Wine and Truth

"The motto of the ancients never lied,"

warns Giovanni Verga in Malavoglia

and really is the old motto: In vino veritas

:

Alcaeus, greek poet, a member of archaic lyric :
"In wine the truth '

Zenobio, Centuria IV, prov. 5:
"In wine the truth '

Dionegiano, Centuria IV, prov. 81:
"The truth is in wine"

Pliny, Natural History:
"The truth is in wine."

This saying belongs to the large group of proverbs "warning" namely, that warns of things to do or, more cynically, those from which to learn to say or do to others what you do not want to say or do.
The wine, therefore, as portentous and infallible "truth machine", half of which pale in front of the sophisticated methods used by the most ruthless secret police and not by the CIA to the KGB, the Gestapo.
In the literature there are examples of the wine used as a catalyst for truth, to say what he said he would not be sober. Of course this is not necessary instrument of truth against, for example, how naive of the Renzo Manzoni, but in these cases acts as an accelerator and amplifier.
Therefore they should deprive ourselves of this precious nectar in order to avoid revealing truths that can harm us, but it would be a shame.
Men's unwise, I would then give wise counsel:



drink moderately in order to avoid

"tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth"

and much more wisely, do this (not mine) suggestion:

The lie ever, the truth is not all (1).

To follow this principle must maintain full possession of his mental faculties, fully lucid, raggiungilibe by not drinking or rather, through the well and drink little.

But it would use the proverb to educate, but to deceive, as it would give reason to Verga, which implicitly defines the living world as a world of lies. (2) Regardless of the consequences
strive then to say whether not the whole truth, a goal impossible for us, at least some truth in full, with nothing to hide, so that transit through the world of truth, memory Verga, takes place in the least traumatic way possible. To remain in the atmosphere
Easter - Happy Easter relatives, friends, readers near and far - is the case that "what is truly good and just" make an effort to say, without the help of wine or a small (I recommend small) push it more and more often the truth, why in the world the truth emerges because it is not granted, and then hide it without any human merit, and we would do well, we are temporarily living in consider the truth a victory, the more sought after than achieved with difficulty and pain.

CIN! CIN! ... without exaggeration

policy and morality

Willingly a public lecture by Prof. Lorenzo Catania
That
chrysanthemum on a dunghill. Ferruccio Parri, politics and morality.
"litter let the beasts of Fiesole / of their own self, and do not touch the plant, / s'alcuna surge still in their manure ...." Echoing a bit 'outraged that this invective in the fifteenth part of the' Inferno 'Brunetto Latini, an ancient Dante's teacher, throws against the Florentines, "orbi," to enhance the illustrious disciple that takes away from the corrupt habits of his countrymen, Carlo Levi, the pages of the autobiographical novel "The Hours," telling a press conference convened by Ferruccio Parri 24 November 1945 at the palace of the Interior Ministry after the resignation of his government imposed by the Liberal Party, con il tacito assenso della Democrazia Cristiana, mette in bocca al personaggio Casorin (dietro cui si nasconde lo scrittore Manlio Cancogni) questo giudizio sul presidente dimissionario:“E’ un padre.Un crisantemo. Un crisantemo sopra un letamaio”. Sulla scorta di questa immagine, che esprime la delusione per l’esito fallimentare della Resistenza, l’io-narrante delinea un ritratto della personalità del Presidente del Consiglio teso a conservare la memoria di un uomo esemplare che aveva portato al potere la sua esperienza dolorosa nella guerra di Liberazione, i valori professati dai resistenti e il sacrificio dei caduti. Incontrando il “doverismo” di chi si definiva un “partigiano qualunque” e concepiva la politica come moralità, esperienza altamente formativa ed educativa imprescindibile per il rinnovamento della nazione, Levi esalta l’umiltà di Parri e assimila la sua persona a quella di un mistico della democrazia avanzata, un asceta fuori posto accanto ai visi teologali e cardinalizi di De Gasperi e Togliatti: “Lo guardavo, diritto in mezzo ai due compagni di destra e di sinistra, dai visi fin troppo umani, accorti, abili, attenti, astuti, avidi di cose presenti, e mi pareva che egli fosse invece impastato della materia impalpabile del ricordo, costruito col pallido colore dei morti, con la spettrale sostanza dei morti, dei fucilati, degli impiccati, dei torturati, con le lacrime e i freddi sudori dei feriti, dei rantolanti, the distressed, the sick, orphans, in the city and the mountains [...] If you identify with the sorrows of the world, suffering in itself, taking as their own, and holiness, he was made the subject of disembodied saints ". Transfigured by the writing of Levi, the "chrysanthemum" Parri stands in the deterioration of civil-political and ethical Rome in 1945, with its ministries "where you worship, and improve the most despicable vices, the three most desolate deadly sins: sloth, the 'greed and envy. "
It 's a different from the Italian ruling class produced by the unit history of the country: "They said it was not a politician, che non rappresentasse nessuna forza reale, che non sapesse destreggiarsi nel giuoco avviluppato degli interessi. Ma egli rappresentava qualche cosa che non è negli schemi politici. Non aveva né timbro né tono[la sua voce]: risuonava sempre uguale, opaca, senza inflessioni. Quella voce diceva cose apparentemente piane, semplici, elementari, amministrative, senza accompagnarle con gesti. Era il linguaggio dei morti che dicono la verità che nessuno intende”. Perciò destinato al ruolo di vittima sacrificale del malcontento qualunquista del Meridione, che non aveva conosciuto l’esperienza dei rastrellamenti e le stragi della Repubblica sociale (usata dai tedeschi come strumento di repressione antipartigiana), e degli esponenti party reborn after the defeat of fascism, careful to interpret the needs of the deep layers of the community, but not as sensitive to shake off some totalitarian tendencies, rooted in old quarrels, to ancient prejudices, political compromises and trasformistiche: "Of the old , strange prehistoric animals were lying smugly on their benches, wrapped in an atmosphere of respect coagulated. They had been able to endure, as indifferent as stones, to the events. " To be set aside from the simplification of the political spectrum and leave the scene with the noble dignity of the righteous who had fought for the good of the nation and an idea of \u200b\u200bpolitics as mediated by the interests of privileged social classes: "Meanwhile, in the general confusion, the President, followed by his young secretary, bespectacled, he was out for a door without making noise and no one had noticed his disappearance."

Blood Pressure And Broken Capillaries In The Face

Who does not love and hate flaw

Feels repeat, with an insistence that borders on obsession, that now is the government of doing, as opposed to the governments of the past and also about the neighbor of the more or less remote, with the exception of the government to homologous interrupted at the climax of bossiana memory.
and act very quickly, overcome traps and snares, as he liked to repeat Guido Carli, and all those formalities bureaucracy that slow or even prevent you from doing what is necessary and essential for the good of the country.
act quickly without damaging the strict observance of rules on transparency, equality of opportunity in the quality and accuracy of operations.
act quickly reduce human and material costs and alleviate the suffering of those affected by natural disasters, is due to the fury of the elements is caused, in part or in full, human neglect.
Who dares to refute such arguments?
act quickly and well is the best a city honest and unbiased you can expect from those who have shouldered the heavy burden of nazione gravata da un pesante debito pubblico, congiuntamente ad una crisi economica mondiale che ha messo in ginocchio economie ben più solide della nostra.
Qualunque critica all'attuale conduzione politica governativa sarebbe quindi pretestuosa, ingenerosa ed ingrata, perché non riconoscerebbe gli sforzi, al limite del sovrumano, compiuti da questi uomini del fare che tutto il mondo ci invidia.
Questo "stile del fare" non sarebbe disgiunto dall'attitudine alla riflessione, del pensare velocemente ma nello stesso tempo profondamente, raggiungendo il traguardo che Alberto Moravia riconosceva solo agli intellettuali: la capacità, appunto, di giungere velocemente a delle formulazioni e a dalle conclusioni, il pensiero, quindi, veloce e profondo.
Cosa induce quindi una piccola ma ostinata schiera di magistrati ad indagare, ad accusare chi si è reso meritorio di tanti prodigiosi risultati a vantaggio di intere popolazioni e della cittadinanza italiana in generale?
Sarà forse il pregiudizio politico, la loro inaccettabile politicizzazione, a spingere questi uomini del disfare ad indagare, a cercare il pelo nell'uovo, a pretendere di utilizzare strumenti, come le intercettazioni telefoniche, smodatamente adoperate, che servirebbero più a diffamare e screditare che a raggiungere risultati penalmente rilevanti?
O, puramente e semplicemente, ci troviamo di fronte a uomini coscenziosi e scrupolosi che compiono semplicemente il loro dovere senza lasciarsi intimidire? What motivates journalists
biased, politicized and hired needless to say, to doubt the total honesty of purpose of these legendary men do?
Maybe the envy of the talent for positions of prestige achieved at the cost of sacrifices by those who criticize without reason morally and legally justified?
Or, simply, we are dealing with men who love their profession and are so presumptuous as to want to look for, whatever the cost, fragments of truth?

easy to criticize when you do not have direct responsibility "to do", but just as easy, and much more harmful, is to bet only on the electoral consensus gradually ottenuto, senza tener conto, nel fare e nel dare, di ciò che non si fa, senza interrogarsi seriamente sulle priorità, e di ciò che, nel dare, non di rado carpendo e arraffando, si toglie.
Il Ponte sullo Stretto, abbandonando la felice intuizione delle "Autostrade del Mare", e lasciando le Ferrovie in Sicilia, Calabria, Sardegna e delle tratte percorse dai pendolari di Sud, Centro e Nord, a livelli veramente infimi.

Chi non fa, non falla

è vero

come altrettanto cosa vera e giusta è pensare bene a ciò che si fa:

Cosa pensata, cosa sensata
Pensa la cosa prima che la fai, perché la cosa pensata is very beautiful.

still think it's important that actions, more or less thought out, tend to the common good, and the opulence of those who have not always justifiably, has tenaciously clung to their privileges, regardless of the malaise of vast sections of the population, malaise he has plenty of favorite if not directly caused.
