I'm still trying to put myself in the shoes of those who think like us, and that carries on the bulwark of economic self-interest and image, that the "mythical" statues Monti Prama will once exposed to the G8, and I'm trying to eliminate all ideological patina, and I'm trying to think only of this miraculous economic self-interest and image that the island should have as a result of exposure of the Statues "unknown".
Well, it will be for professional bias, but failing to see this economic machine that moves around the statues, I was reminded of one thing: a trivial thing, maybe stupid, but that makes me laugh and laugh because we need to (I also say the prime minister!) and we Sardinia in particular, to start to smile, I also try to make you smile.
and a few months that I think back to when I was still in high school and how many times has repeatedly spoken of myth and history, history and myth, and that will be statues of Monti Parma are imbued with myths, which I came be reconsidered at the high school.
Then, at age 14 I saw it as a concept staid and utterly useless ...
fact that there was a lesson in greek, that there was a lesson in Latin, philosophy, epic, history, or Italian, someone referred to this magical concept of myth and history, and the drama was there that we are carried out for 5 years of high school ...
And this conceptual block was one of the nodes supporting the whole school planning: that students should be able to acquire and understand the difference between history and myth.
In fact, I remember there was a book of epic which I believe is titled "From history to myth, myth to history" with thirty pages on a hundred in total, which was trying to explain to you, 14 years old or 16 year old student, what was the difference between history and myth and all the tricks of this fascinating conceptual block.
Proof of this is that, once started the 1st School of Philosophy and the lessons, even those who studied less than was fully aware of the stories used by Plato in his dialogues, anyone could tell the Myth of the Cave, the Myth of the Sun The Myth of Atlantis in the Critias, and so on. Even those who had repeatedly
2, remained fascinated and remembered the story of myth, perhaps because of its ease or because of his "story" which seemed to trivialize the man who would later become one of the largest thinkers of the Western world.
But anyone, including students, knew (and still is!) The fact that questions of philosophy have never been any question that begins with "Tell me about the myth of the cave ..." or "Tell me the myth of Atlantis ... "and that such a request if there was, he concealed himself in the exposure of what was the metaphor of the myth in every single detail.
Of course we hope in our dreams that we are required to tell one of the myths, and after describing the "Platonic tales" in every detail as if we were bards, the teacher there stringesse his hand and told us "Well , I have put 8 you can go right. "
But this worked only in our dreams, our myths.
The reality was that once the question, tried every means to expose the thread and sign the myth, but after five minutes came the immediate break, which commenced with a grin: "Well, I see that you know the story, but since this is a question of philosophy rather than "fiabologia", as the Platonic myth is a tool that Plato uses to explain his thoughts, you'd be able to tell me what could be Atlantis in the minds of a fifth-century Athenian citizen? "
And there, before the formal application, in our heads pile up the monsters of the first High School, all dancing confused with the protagonists of the fifth century., as in a circle of Hell, and that V sec. created so much fear that by bringing students to say the biggest crap the question of philosophy.
And I remember like it was yesterday, one of those incredible response, mythical, transcribed at the end of the book ... that said something like: "Well certainly the fact that in Atlantis there was no private ownership, has led Athens residents to support the communist thinking and give rise to the revolution! "
And before a similar shot, the hall resounded with laughter and the teacher more frustrated than ever, he replied: "The revolution of October will see you at home, when in October of next year you'll find yourself back in high school first, go and sit down, and the nonsense I catch you two!"
Here's how it ended the Platonic myths in High Schools Classics of the 90s, with a reality that both differed from Atlantis ...
we will come back and that we must increasingly make use of the "myth" to explain our stories, I too had the idea a "myth."
But make it clear that it occurred to me to explain my reasons, not to mask of dogmatic truth, as some in recent years has been with Atlantis, not to say that Statues of these diabolical Monti Parma are the work of a blacksmith who lived in Atlantis Plato before Tsunami!
No, no, mind you, my myth, then that is a metaphor, just wants to smile and reflect.
Well, because if I wanted to speak of dogmas at the end of the 1st High School Philosophy in September I would have (and I believe that those who have compared the Sardinia with Atlantis in 2003, was not so strong at the high school ...) We
I expose my my metaphor or myth, call it what you want!
" There once was a poor little boy, but it was a good one, even the Son of God, only that it was so poor that he was born in a cave in the cold and frost ...
His birth was so famous as to be known far, far away, so much so that three kings who came from a mythical land and far, to bring him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh .
Now I'll let the metaphor of myth.
Imagine that little boy represents the powerful G8 (I know there is an inconsistency because those are the rich and the poor little boy was, but equally powerful in the land themselves children of God because of their power) and we imagine that, the Three Kings came from afar to be three Sardinian and that the three gifts are three statues of Monti Parma: Efis (gold), Gavin (incense) and Baroreddu (myrrh).
After all, the Sardinians who want to honor the little boy with the statues, the Re mythical feel of their land, as is the mythical land of the kings of history, and the three statues are for these three Sardinian value of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
Now I wonder any of us ever heard the story of the little boy and the king eventually did tell me that gold, frankincense and myrrh?
Has anyone ever read that these extraordinary gifts have been circulated in some way as goods of extraordinary beauty? It would appear that these goods have disappeared in the history of the Holy Child.
In fact, the true story, the little boy becomes larger and richer (the Holy Spirit and not of yachts of course) ... But of the three goods if they do not know anything! Scomparsero the night of January 7!
What eventually did so the gold, frankincense and myrrh? And that meant they had the little boy?
We can assume that the little boy's parents have offered them to the shepherds came to worship ... but the story does not tell us a similar incident. Or we can assume that the assets were used to fund good works ... Not! The story tells us nothing of the sort.
Or maybe the three kings brought them home and told their subjects "We have given the Holy Spirit." I already imagine the citizens of the kings of the earth and under the mustache say, "zi Abà magnemmu holy spirit?" (Trans. "Why do we have the Holy Spirit?") But let's leave expires or the blasphemy ...
The reality is that the goods arrived in the cave and then not if they knew anything.
The three kings returned to their home filled with the Holy Spirit and who we have seen we have seen.
The difference between myth and reality is that even if the king (Sardinians) leads to a little boy (the powerful G8) the three gifts (the three statues), our king would return home full of holy spirit , and some of their gifts will end the gold, incense and myrrh ... disappear into history, because it has given them an economic value and has not grasped the real meaning ... their metaphorical!
I apologize for the outburst of my messy thoughts ...
Tell me what you think, at the end of this legend is better than that of Sardinia and Atlantis, right?
