latest issue of the weekly Times (07/07/2010) psychiatrists and Italo Eugenio Borgna Charter operate on "empty" because of old age and sterility of our Italy.
"All to tell us how to look young. No one who tells us how it deals with old age. Or at least that took place between fifty and sixty that expels from his youth. "
Eugenio Borgna says that " Each stage of life, twenty, thirty, forty, is a breakthrough, but that between fifty and sixty is the most radical. The thing that most affects Acceptance of this shift is the loneliness , that at this age becomes more acute and imminent. "
The quality of this" solitude "is not physical space, purely quantitative," not enough to have a family, not alone. Can be no interior solitude even when you're fathers and mothers and wives. It may be only between children and grandchildren, because in the first show of the divergence of old horizons becomes unbridgeable. "
In a word in what looks like a youth perspective to a limitless horizon and all roads open as possible, in place of the fifty years' occurs suddenly that the future is not infinite, that the road has an end. And the essence of what Emily Dickinson called "finite infinity" . Borgna
continues: "A pathological level in this age there can be problems mentally typical, paradigmatic: the sense of emptiness can get to generate hallucinatory syndromes, which are intended precisely to fill that void, to create an inner dialogue. It is an age when you walk on the edge of the abyss. You save those who have a range of these inner resources to survive even in the narrowing of horizons concrete. "
Each of us has an "inner well " that perhaps never was facing ever since he has been taught and also because the culture of the media rushed to cover up, making it almost impossible to self-knowledge.
Of course this can not happen without effort and without the pain of remembering also what can not be remedied.
Is there a file size, that of ' interiority, depth of that anyone who "has staked everything in the early cmquant'anni on resources perishable like beauty, the success , the 'envy ' struggle to recover so that "in this wasting of resources can happen to lose the certainty of being able to realize yet what gives life meaning . Just these needs instead are trampled by a strong pressure, " as a complaint and a lie collective", which prompts them to cling to the idols of youth. The effect is not condemned to meaninglessness.
why I titled that loneliness is the disease of "Century" meaning that this is the fatal disease of the "century", not only of our time, but every time he gets and gives no significant relationship with the Lord.
Much has recorded on these results the Enlightenment with his anthropology reductions in the real within the bounds of reason cd. One reason "divorced" from the Logos and therefore incapable of grasping the reality in all its depth of meaning.
here would open a very challenging scenario in which Chesterton did not fail to acute observation writing of St. Thomas Aquinas. The Royal is not to the extent that "I ask myself," as claimed by anti-scientifically and imaginatively modern thought, and thereby demonstrated a poor use of reason. The Royal ahead of me, as well as I do not start from nothing (the beginning pure Hegelian). But I shall come back with a post prossimno God willing.
What I want to also point out that loneliness is so well defined by the psychiatrist Eugenio Borgna, based on these false premises. False and false man of God be reduced, if admitted as a working hypothesis, the loneliness of impersonal "principle" of Theism. The Christian God, revealed in the flesh of Jesus of Nazareth (true man and true God) tells us that God is not solitude-over. Just as the human experience, reminds us Borgna, testifies that "we are not islands far from the world, life shows us that we can help organize and only when we are together with the other . Man is not alone in-finite.
" How well does the Second Vatican Council's Pastoral Constitution (n. 22): God, in while it communicates to man in Christ (and through the Holy Spirit), reveals at the same time "fully reveals man to man" ... In the words of Sacred Scripture, the human being is created "in the image and likeness of God" . Now if this God is not simply a supreme being "compact", but a communion of life and love, then what "should" have consequences for the man, only looking to the triune God-one to the end that we can recognize What creature of the spirit is and what exactly reproduces his being-image-of-God specifically refers . So Greshake Gisbert, Faith in the Triune God , Queriniana, Brescia 1999, p. 10.
In some measure to that of the German theologian, the outcome of modern thought is prepared by a reduction, internal to Christian thought throughout the last school, the Christian God the God of the pagan philosophers. Continue
Greshake asserting that insofar as the beginning of the modern age, and for reasons we can not list here, faith in the triune God-one went fading and lost its ability to influence the life and disappeared to a large extent This relational conception of the person. God was conceived more as just a single God (ie God as an undifferentiated), subject as "solitary" supreme, and not as the God of communal and social.
And at the man is conceived as an entity focused on self. "Being a person necessarily involves an ultimate loneliness," says John Duns Scotus on the threshold of modern times (ord. III, 1, 1 n. 17), thus heralding a picture of the human being that had disastrous consequences in the end, because its weaknesses were amassed yet another important factor.
An essential feature of the modern age consisted (and is) the fact that the man tried to undermine this unity God and aspires to take his place at least on important points. Not more than God, but man must govern, organize and transform the world according to their own projects. No longer the law of God but human reason is the rule and gives meaning and purpose in all behavior and all the action. No longer aspire to a heavenly home near future to God, but the desire to create an earthly happiness here and now takes possession of the human heart.
Faith in the Trinity poses so strongly in a light pole in man: man is, first, an individual endowed with freedom and, secondly, a member of human society in many ways linked with other and only with them truly human. (Gisbert Greshake, The God Unitrino pp. 51.)
Man is not an individual, an individual and not a mass, but is a person, " Since the image of God, the human individual possesses the dignity of a person is not just something, but someone. It is capable of knowledge, self-possession, free self-giving and entering into communion with other people is called by grace to a covenant with his Creator, to give him a response of faith and love that no other creature can give in its replacement "(Catechism of the Catholic Church n. 357).
only recover this self-awareness as a person, to be relational, it can break the horizon "perishable", that there is rampant conformism imposed by the media, political correctness, you can get away from the 'idolatry', ie an image (eidolon) is itself illusory.
" [Marina Corradi] Like some tragic figures of old ladies pull, makeup, tan, which intersect in the center of Milan or Rome or the Riviera ...
[Borgna] is true, tragic, because no other option than to remain attached to what can no longer be.
[Marina Corradi] But how do you, sir, to bring out their own resources?
[Borgna] Our resources are primarily related to dialogic impulses. Must exit from self and understand and agree with the fragility of those around us. There you save if you can live with the other, the communion of life and suffering. The opening to the suffering of others that makes me live. .
Pulse dialogue ... out of self ... understand and agree with the fragility of those around us ... You can really live like this?
'[Borgna] The look back without knowing the past to give meaning to kill the future. To dream of repeating what we were, as in the cyclical time of the Greeks, the past is a cage that closes the doors to hope .
return into ourselves and discover the God of Jesus Christ (the most intimate to us than ourselves) is the source of living water welling up within us the eternal life, a life in post-mortem but already of today and not even daily.
This is the real "torch" mentioned Borgna, namely ' The ability to live what is happening as if it had never happened before. The ability to wonder, the thauma, which for the Greeks was the foundation of all philosophical expression. The open each day anew to what happens to others. Something that I seem to recognize in the eyes of Benedict XVI - as the inner edge of adolescence that we see in his eyes. The opposite of closing itself, which is death .
