How many times us people feel invisible? That we’re not been listened, we’re not been understanding, we’re not been felting by others? That we become invisible to friends, family, social environment, we become invisible to the entire country. And if we accept that, then we neither see ourselves and therefore they will not recognize to us any right. How many times historically, violence triggered revolution, revolution created optimism, optimism born revolution and the cancellation of optimistic revolutionary goals reborn violence? Many. That circle has been reborn in time, precisely at those moments when man felt invisible.
In response to all these one can in turn become violent, hopeful, revolutionary, or can become nothing of those above. If man becomes violent that will not break the violence’s cycle and will not vanish any personal or social injustice. If someone become optimist he will believe in a brand new world and the fact of not knowing what comes next will be his most valuable substance.. And if he becomes a rebel, if he’ll not be considered as guilty, perhaps he’ll be saved.
It’s
not necessary to put any
individual label in
someone’s choices because there’s no
need to experience any problems and choices in a
solitary way. Society and community mean
interaction and touch, a translation of individual choices into social meanings. Means
palpation of emotions
in order to put words into prejudice and fear as
a good start for a rebuilding
and cancellation of dissolution.
We need to believe, not in the distant future, but into today. Most people’s nowadays demolition is socio-economic, but above all is personal. Deeply personal. However, the world and life around us change. We have to live without guilt and exclude those who came as experts in our personal and social life in order to convince us that there is something that always slips away from us. Nothing is hidden and no one should be or feel invisible. Everything is right here. The past, the present, the future, in a violent, rebellious and optimistic way, which make enough for us to remember that we constitute nothing more than just a historical moment and we don’t need to claim the past or the future as a bad exlpoitated trophy. And if someone still need to act as a unit, he must not be afraid, because as history itself has shown us, the “mass goals” may sometimes be irrational and unattainable, especially when a man is asked to be visible in cases of "self-excess as a civil or national task '.
From today should everybody promise to his self that is no longer invisible and that will learn from the start to understand and to invent not only the external stimuli, but the internal ones as well. From now on, everybody should become visible again for what himself thinks he deserves.
