What your hears can take…
I have been lately devoting myself to some kind of “how your brain works” debate and I have reached some conclusions, like or not, you gotta read them.
Discussions with Grazia are enriching and gratifying, but there is some point of disagreement between us. I personally think that we are all darker and more mysterious than we think, which maybe makes me a weirder person that you may think. Nevertheless, I do believe that humans have twisted brains, highly scared of people’s looks, reactions, comments. Let me illustrate this:
I fully consider that we are all like human separatist states. But we do not like to sell that image of us, either because of the other people’s reactions or just because in order to socialize we need to sell a friendly image, especially to those who we consider our closest partners. But if I have to measure how much of what you think you can share, how close you can go into a relation with a person, my skepticism leads me to a very low percentage. Maybe it is just me, a single mortal, maybe I do not get to close with people, maybe people think they have friends to whom they can tell everything just to reinforce the separatist wall I mentioned and highlight their own nation-body. From now on I think I will be paying special attention to that dark side of my brain, the one that sleeps during the day and grows during the night, the one full of dreams, fears and fantasies, the one I believe it will take my whole life to get to know it myself (if I finally do) and I wish I could share it, but I guess it is too chaotic, melancholic, idealistic, impenetrable, overwhelmed. For now I materialize it through words, looks, kisses, smiles and messy ideas, but always involved myself in the fight against nationalist attitudes, as I believe frontiers are harmful for mankind.
