Call it inescapable, inevitable, inexorable, fate, luck or misfortune, chance. How many ways can you call destiny? An ancient legend says that our destiny is already written before we are born and will guide our whole life; if this is true it has a strange way of doing things. Yes, because I have noticed that when there have been big changes in our lives, the one that started it all … Read more
For some time now, terms have been coined on the web to describe certain attitudes that seem to be gaining ground. These attitudes on some sites are defined as trendy but they are not new behaviors. Technology allows us to communicate at great distance but inevitably sometimes it happens that it takes us away from the awareness that there is a human being on the other side. For this reason, … Read more
What can I say my friends, it happened again and apparently, the total impunity towards this practice pushes the most stupid to express their unsolicited opinion making life impossible for others. What is BODY SHAMING? BODY SHAMING is an English term for the hateful and very popular practice of insulting someone because of their physical appearance. You can be insulted in a more or less veiled. You can undergo appreciation … Read more
Not everyone knows that the cross of St George, which even today identifies England throughout the world, was not invented on the island of tea (it did not originate there either), but rather on a peninsula: Italy. Speech from Shakespeare’s Henry V ‘Once more unto the breach, dear friends’, ending with the battle cry, ‘God for Harry! England and St George!” A little history on St George’s cross Legend has … Read more
While it may seem fairly simple to define what respect means, it really isn’t. This consideration is due to the fact that I realized that many people think they know what respect is but I got the very impression that they do not. I am also quite convinced that you agree with me because you too are convinced that you know what respect is and that this is less and … Read more
Dear friends, today I set out to make a reflection on freedom. It is a topic of discussion that has truly engaged a large number of human minds over thousands of years and I am convinced that it will engage them for a long time to come. One of the reasons why I believe this is a topic that will never end is the fact that it relates to a … Read more
You never stop learning in life even though eventually people have a tendency to always fall back on the same mistakes. The experience needed to understand this gift is certainly so immense that without a shadow of a doubt, I am sinning in arrogance just thinking about writing this article. In the short time I have been on this earth, it has quickly become clear to me that humanity can … Read more
When talking about depression in the psychiatric field, it would be more correct to call it a depressive disorder. Etymologically speaking, the word depress describes the action of bringing something down to a lower level. It is synonymous with humiliation, despondency and the like. What is depression Depression is a real psychiatric illness that should not be taken lightly because it is far from rare and the consequences are both … Read more
We are often trapped in the awareness of ourselves as the only central point in the universe. Although self-improvement as an individual is a necessary prerequisite, according to this phrase attributed to Mahatma Gandhi, it is not enough. Be the change you want to see happen in the world. We are called upon to see ourselves no longer as self-centred beings but as part of a species that has the … Read more
In every village or small town, there is always one person who is singled out by others as the village idiot. This figure has become exemplary and rhetorical. Particularly in the country where I live, one can hardly come across anyone who has not called someone else a village idiot. I am therefore going to tell you in my own way about a popular legend whose true origin we do … Read more
It occurred to me to write this reflection because a short time ago, I learned of the existence in my country of the national day dedicated to Dante Alighieri. He was an Italian writer, poet and politician who was born in Florence in 1265 and died in Ravenna in September 1321. Among his works, I have always been struck by the part of the Divine Comedy that describes the seven … Read more
Memories of youth, the paranormal, séances, strange stories. With this jumble of words I want to introduce you to some of my memories which, who knows why, have come back to me today and from one of them others have come and then others again, in an avalanche. The first memory that came to mind was many years ago, when I was a young girl, 15-16 years old or so. … Read more
There almost always comes a time in life when one wonders about the true meaning of true love. The answer to the questions that come to mind with age is not the easiest. There are those who define love according to a simple evolutionary theory and those who instead invest this feeling with a purely spiritual and transcendental meaning. Those who support the first hypothesis are usually convinced that love … Read more
Sooner or later, I think most people have wondered whether they are suffering from so-called ’emotional dependency’. If you’ve reached the point where you found this article, you’re probably wondering that yourself. Apparently, emotional dependency is not on the list of behavioural disorders in my country (Italy). Although perhaps it would be better to say that it is not listed at the moment. I think it is important to understand … Read more
Hope is defined by many as one of the most powerful engines capable of moving human beings in a certain direction. In a way, it is the key to our dreams and has sometimes proved decisive in the progress of humanity. Today, after a long time, I am going to offer you my thoughts on this hopeful expectation that characterises most of humanity in an extraordinarily peculiar way. In the … Read more
Life is like a river that flows without time. The seasons repeat themselves in an endless dance and when the leaves settle at the edge of its bed they turn yellow and disappear. Try to appreciate its beauty while the leaves on the trees are still green. @ignisphotos
I am very happy to offer you my experience with this inexpensive fountain pen that works and writes consistently well. This is my personal experience that I share with you in the hope that it can help you in your choice or can at least fill a little bit of perplexity in the choice of your fountain pen. Also remember that if you have any questions about my experience with … Read more
In the course of my life, I have come to suspect that the place where one lives contributes a great deal to shaping the individual. I think it is plausible to think that the smaller and more isolated a place is, the more closed and limited the thinking of its inhabitants will be from a social point of view. I think it might be reasonable to consider the hypothesis that … Read more
Today I’m going to share with you an experience I had that got me thinking about the current situation. At the time of writing, there is certainly a lot of concern about the labor shortage. In reality, these issues have only been exacerbated by the pandemic but have always been there since the dawn of time. Without mincing words, I believe that there is not enough work for everyone but … Read more
Yes! Yesterday I prepared the store to remain closed indefinitely. This is because my region has changed color and my business is considered unnecessary. It was quite a long and sad day I only had one customer. I will try to make some clarity in a rough way because I know that the blog is translated into several languages and many of my non-Italian readers may not understand what I … Read more
If there is one thing I cannot stand in nature, it is insects. I recognize that they are part of the great circle of life but it is not uncommon for me to wonder what use those like the mosquito that is buzzing around me now. It seems that today it is smarter than me, it won’t leave me alone until it has sucked the last drop of my blood. … Read more
When I try to understand what self-indulgence is, I always ask myself a question: Was the egg or the chicken born first? Some people think that the egg was born first because the first eggs would be those of some reptiles that lived about 350 million years ago. It is a kind of reasoning that has its own logic but some think that is not the answer to this question. … Read more
Some time ago and incidentally, in another article I explained what I think of values such as compassion, intelligence and culture. Maybe that’s why I had a strange dream last night. If you are interested I will tell you about it below. A couple of people that we will call Giacomino and Genoveffa, had gone to one of the best hospitals in the region to pick up the result of … Read more
Dear friends well returned to this cage of madmen that we call blogs. Today I started thinking about the meaning of the word “value”. The reason, you will probably understand it in the next article but in the meantime I try to clear my head with the definition of “moral value”. Obviously, don’t think about considering this article as something that has a philosophical reliability or use it for some … Read more
I knew today would be a difficult day for me but especially for my partner. For obvious reasons of privacy I can’t tell you what happened but nothing, I want to hope that in a month time there will be good news. Suffice it to say that statistically, what has happened is very difficult. But you know, with bad luck on the contrary we are masters. I will see to … Read more
The thing Mrs. Ada wanted most of all was to retire. She did a rather heavy job that took her away from home from morning to night. And every morning she would leave the house and look at her little garden and think: “how nice it would be to be able to stay there and weed, plant flowers and sometimes sit and look at the sky. He also had many … Read more
Although I have been writing for a very short time I think that even the less attentive among you will have understood that I like to frequent social networks for company and because they are an inexhaustible source of information for those like me who use them for some food for thought. The sociologists and psychologists who have made history for their respective fields of expertise, without a shadow of … Read more
There are things that we only become more aware of in difficult times. “We all fall down together and we all get up together. It’s a quote that film producers love so much but that has nothing to do with the reality of the facts. I thought I was just unlucky when, desperate for a bad thing afflicting my partner, I received a call from a client. He told me … Read more
Will I ever be able to see a day in my life when, involved in any activity, I don’t meet the stranger on duty who stops me and with a smile tells me that I need to lose weight? Will there ever be in this world a person who understands that it is appropriate to mind his own business? But who asked you anything? Who knows you? Do I put … Read more
I was getting into a bad habit because I had started to bore you with my daily diaries. I soon realized that this is not a good idea. I lead a rather boring life, you get up in the morning, go to work, fight with clients, with expenses, with bureaucracy, close and go home. When I was feeling good, after work twice a week I went to volunteer. On Sundays … Read more
And September is gone, this doesn’t just mean that we have to pay back the rent and utilities but it also means that we are looking more and more to this winter. They say that there will be another lockdown but I don’t think this is plausible, I hope not anyway because it would be very difficult to reopen. I get out of bed more and more tired, maybe because … Read more
Dear friends welcome to our daily report. Today is a rather cold day but if you are under the sun you do not feel much. It’s a pretty relevant day for me. I have guests in the house so today’s diary will not be long, boring and very long as usual. As soon as we found a moment free from work, we went to buy a 4G router because at … Read more
This Monday was an ordinary day. Like many of you, I have no particular sympathy for this day since it is the beginning of another very tiring and endless week. Summer is over and I find myself with the classic autumn melancholy. Since I was born in this period, it shouldn’t give me this kind of feeling, but the more the summer is going away, the more I find myself … Read more
At the time I chose to dwell at a distance from the confusion of the city, I was convinced that the disadvantages were largely offset by the advantages. In fact, it is so, if it were not that even in the hills, there are those biological terrestrial entities called neighbors. Sunday is my day off and obviously I am woken up by call centers pretending as usual to be something … Read more
Good morning dear friends, although as usual no one will read this, I continue to write my diary. Finally we are at Saturday morning, I wake up at dawn the phone call of a customer who complains that I have not yet opened the store. After explaining to the lemur that the sun had not yet risen, I inform him that the opening is scheduled for two hours later. His … Read more
Education this illustrious unknown! I can imagine what you are thinking: But this one only knows how to complain, makes articles that are all the same and whatever else. Well in fact I can’t blame you, but it is also true that I decided to write a diary here just to let off steam and you are welcome to post some “critical” comments. I would like to explain to you … Read more
It’s been almost ten years now since I opened my store in a town so small and remote that if I told you the name, some of you probably wouldn’t know it on the map. I remember that we did not have any inauguration but despite this, we received a map as a good wish. I would not know what plant it is because I am not an expert in … Read more
Today the day starts very badly. I received an early morning call that does not bode well for the future. We’ll see what happens. These are work issues that I can’t share in a blog of course. Anyway, here I can keep track of the bad luck! I know I shouldn’t complain I suppose, because there are people who are worse off. But there are also people who are better … Read more
I was scrolling through the facebook notifications and the following sentence appeared to me: Can you close the door of memories? It was on the page of a contact of mine who had suffered a loss and I decided to be a philosopher because a sentence had come to my mind that seemed a rather nice thought. Yes, but it is a door without a lock, anyone and anything can … Read more
It is really a long time that I wanted to offer my key to the belief that people choose to be obese. I will try to go in order trying to make you understand as best as I can what my thinking is in the hope to offer you a key to reading certainly a little different from stereotypes. It occurred to me to write this article when, a short … Read more
Today is the feast of the Italian Republic, I thought it would be nice to take a ride with my partner since it’s been a long time since we can’t go out as we please. Tomorrow it should be possible to travel freely to other regions of my country. I decided not to expose my partner to any danger of contagion and since I am passionate about photography, we went … Read more
We have now just relished a minimum of personal freedom, for a few days we can move around the region without self-certification, go to visit friends, go out for lunch or dinner. Little things that we missed a lot in this lockdown period. Unfortunately the small businesses, the bars, the restaurants, are the ones that have suffered the most. Summer is just around the corner, the money that each of … Read more
When our brother’s soul is shaken by a tragedy, sometimes our thoughts and compassion are focused only on the moment of misfortune without imagining the steps of the days spent fighting with the blazing fire that corrodes his soul. Are these the moments when he will have turned to a higher entity in search of comfort? Are these the moments when you’ve wanted a friendly voice? Are these the moments … Read more
Today began my personal adventure on Reddit. This seems to be a very particular platform where it seems it is impossible to spam. They also say that it has a very high rank on the google search engine and that it offers endless possibilities to those who will be considered “worthy” productive members of this community. Reddit pretty much doesn’t make you do anything apart from your profile and little … Read more
March 2020, this date is enough to make us remember everything. It’s as if in the morning, you wake up slowly and you’re still inside the dream you were doing and with your eyes still closed you think: “less bad it was just a dream” then when you can open your eyes you realize that in the dream you are in it now and first who knows what you dreamed … Read more
On February 2nd, the Candelora is celebrated,which for religion is the anniversary of the presentation of Jesus to the Temple, forty days after his birth.

In January there are the days called “the 3 days of theblackbird” which by definition are the coldest days of the year. There are many stories and legends related to these days, very nice stories to read to children. The days of the blackbird are for some the last three of January for others the last two and the first of February and it is important to know that the … Read more
This was a stop on my trip to India, a very important stage both for what I saw, and for what I experienced in those few days. I would say that it was 1997, so today it will most likely be easier to move between two cities, in that period to do 200 kilometers it took several hours. The streets were poorly cared for, narrow and full of animals as … Read more
My journey india was special, then I’ll explain why. I did it before the 2000s, so most likely the India that I saw, now no longer exists as that nation has had a very big economic boom in recent years. I want to tell it as I lived it then because it was light years away from our Italy for many things, and in a way you found yourself catapulted … Read more
The most absurd holiday of my life began so many years ago, just the night there was the total lunar eclipse in August 1989 That year we were on holiday with a family of friends and since everyone liked Liguria we decided to book two bungalows in a campsite We rely on the phone to book, since we didn’t know the area well. We then booked the two bungalows for … Read more
Dear friends, I would like to share with you this article with the intention of being able to help. So please read this article from start to finish so that I can make it clear how much I intend to explain to you. Some time ago, the seals of my boiler melted and began to lose water that also infiltrated the wall. Obviously this happened before the Christmas holidays. I … Read more
Today there is an anniversary that led me to rethink an event that happened a long time ago in a street in the middle of nowhere. However, for you to understand, I think it is necessary to make a small introduction. Since I’m a cat lover, I’ve always had it in the house. Mostly I prefer black cats, more or less certain. In fact, I think the black cat is … Read more
The May festivities were a good time during my childhood and even after. I was born in a small country village where there is a Shrine dedicated to Our Lady. It is said that where the shrine now stands, it appeared so many, many years ago Our Lady to a shepherdess, and not only did she find a sheep that she had lost, but also pointed to her the anus … Read more
I was a child in the 1960s and I can say that I had a happy childhood. I was born in the countryside, in a small village very close to the city, so much so that you could safely walk there. But rare were the times we went into town, at least until I finished elementary school that were in the village. There was not much need then to go … Read more
My home boiler, the one that produces hot water and heating, has broken down. It takes several days to fix it or change it, it’s an old model, outdoor and recessed. They say they don’t do that anymore. That’s not why I write, though. All this made me think back to my childhood, when these things weren’t there. Yet it is not so much time ago, but looking back today, … Read more
Today I’m here, sitting on the couch, reflecting with the laptop on my right leg. I’m on break from work for lunch. I decided to devote these few minutes of free time to writing some reflections. I also need to take some time for myself without feeling compelled to do something. I’ve made so many commitments with myself that I can’t find a moment of the day that I can … Read more
Dear friends today I will talk about a call I received from a “sixteen-year-go” operator of the Italian national electricity service. She calls me by name and tells me my way home, informs me that she is part of an office of the most protected electrical service and that by “law” she is obliged to tell me that there is an increase in my rent. It also informs me that … Read more
One of the things that makes me go into crisis the most is when I see the receipt of the stock of the recommended letters. Not that I’ve ever done anything bad or serious, but having to wait for time to pick up the recommended one is something that makes me sleep. From what I’ve read online, this is something that many people have in common under the same conditions … Read more
I had written this article resuming a hallucinatory discussion that a woman had made to a friend but after a while I realized that it seemed more and more childish. So I decided to rewrite this article. I have the pleasure and honor of meeting people of a certain age who would define love as something that begins when butterflies end in their stomachs. That feeling is based on custom, … Read more
Today I went to the tim center to switch operator switching to the offer tim then go 10 gb. The guy who took care of my practice explained to me that in addition to this offer, the tim automatically activates additional services and explained to me how to disable them by avoiding paying for those services that I do not care about. So I also in this blog explain how … Read more
Dear friends, today I will tell you about an experience that has affected my sensitivity. I say that in the space of 14 years, I have only taken a holiday that can be considered decent. Since I am very attentive to the clientele, before taking a week’s holiday, I set up the call transfer on my mobile phone so that I could always be available anyway. I got a good … Read more
I decided to write this article because I noticed a lot of complaints on the internet from people who, dissatisfied with how they had been treated in one store, vented by writing badly about that activity, rather than another. This is not an article that will make you become a trade guru and is not an article to collect the consents of those people who complain about the services received. … Read more
Today a Lord calls me on the office phone and informs me that they represent “the free market”. He asks to speak with the owner and informs me that I am with Enel Energy. I told him I don’t know how he came to know that I’m with Enel Free Market Energy. I inform you that I’ve been at the National Electrical Service for a long time. With natural tranquility … Read more
Today I’m going to tell you a very recreational story. The purpose of this article is to prevent you from being offered something you don’t want. A little over an hour ago, a woman contacted me in the office from an anonymous number (call center). She comes with a first name and a last name. It informs me that there is a mandatory transition from my current telecom plan for … Read more
