Gli Uomini di Dio

Un commento di Enzo Bianchi al film di Xavier Beauvois sui monaci di Tibhirine

 

Oggi, in una società in cui dimensioni come il silenzio, l'interiorità, la discrezione, la condivisione, l'obbedienza a istanze etiche, la ricerca della pace e della solidarietà paiono ignorate se non addirittura irrise, la semplice vita quotidiana di un pugno di uomini può destare nei cuori di chi li incontra - anche solo attraverso lo strumento della finzione cinematografica - una spontanea «simpatia», può richiamare alla memoria desideri sopiti, aneliti a una vita più umana e pacata. Nel devastante dominio dell'apparire, della ricerca ossessiva dell'interesse personale a scapito degli altri e della collettività, della soddisfazione degli impulsi più incontrollati può suonare come una salutare boccata d'aria fresca la semplice testimonianza di chi liberamente decide di tener conto degli altri nel proprio comportamento, di chi accetta di condividere i doni - materiali come intellettuali e spirituali - che possiede, di chi affronta la sofferenza, il dolore e la morte come parti integranti di una vita che vale la pena di essere vissuta.

How to avert the human violence?

The following text shows how the humankind is a compound body, where the mind is regulated in some schemes. I'd say there are many zones in our mind and each of all can be working in totally liberty from others.

 You can develop your tendency to chemistry or biology but hide or suffocate the relationship need. You builds a detached world without compassion for the needs of humankind preserving only your necessity, seeing only the fat and crass desire to reach a complete surveillance on what surrounding your life.

The complete control ( I'd say patrolling to testifying the compelling need to dominate someone) is, in some extent, able to guarantee the interior peace of the subject.

It's surely a double standard, social and rascal behaviour ,  that in some extent regards everyone but in that form paranoid needs a medical support.

To say all, we must go to the root the inner violence and ask to us in which way we can discover such violence and avert every protracted damage on other, in particularly the young.

 

Does the school do any step to test  and correct our inner personality?

Maybe the school has been stripping anytime there is a problem we face that moving utterly our soul.

Leading scientist jailed for handing out years of horrific abuse to her three children

 

 

A leading scientist who assaulted and abused her three adopted children for almost a decade has been jailed for four years.

Dr Jill Newcombe-Buley punched, slapped and suffocated the youngsters and even stamped on one with a stiletto heel.

Newcombe-Buley - who has since been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder - also plunged them into ice-cold baths and smothered them with a pillow during years of 'systematic' abuse. One child was cut badly when they were hit over the head with a dustbin.

The court heard how Newcome-Buley had given up her work as a chemist and failed to cope with life as a mother and housewife.

Her husband, chemist Dr Nicholas Newcombe, admitted child neglect after he failed to report her to the authorities.

Newcombe-Buley, 45, from Prestbury, near Macclesfield, Cheshire, pleaded guilty to 15 charges of child cruelty at an earlier hearing and was sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court.

She sobbed as she was jailed for four years by Judge Stephen Clarke, who agreed to a request to lift reporting restrictions enabling the couple to be named.

Newcombe, 43, of Hazel Grove, Stockport, admitted three charges of child neglect. He was given a 12-month sentence, suspended for a year.

His defence barrister Joanna Rodikis said he had been aware of 'a small fraction' of the abuse and did not witness it.

The children, who cannot be named for legal reasons, are now safe with new carers.

The court heard the assaults and neglect happened at the former family home in Prestbury between 2001 and 2009.

Newcombe-Buley, a doctor of chemistry and high flyer in pharmaceutical research, became the 'main carer' while Newcombe worked for pharmaceuticals giant AstraZeneca.

The court heard the eldest child 'courageously' alerted the authorities. There is no suggestion the abuse was sexual.

Judge Clarke said: 'No children should be subjected to punching and slapping and believing they are to be suffocated.

'They were plunged into cold water, struggling to try to stay alive. This was extreme cruelty over an extended period of time.'

Detective Alison Broadbent wept as the court was told of the horrific abuse suffered by the three young children.

The officer worked closely with the youngsters for more than a year and helped bring their parents to justice.

Det Con Broadbent, of Cheshire Police's public protection team, was praised by the judge and will receive a public commendation.

The court heard how she helped the victims and attended strategy meetings so suitable new carers could be found. She also gathered evidence which led to both parents pleading guilty.

John Wyn Williams, prosecuting, told the court: 'Alison Broadbent has worked extremely hard on this case. She was extremely important. She knows now that the children are starting to develop and display some kind of happiness.'

Judge Stephen Clarke said he would sign an application for her public commendation.

Her boss, Supt Geraint Jones, said: 'Alison's work has been outstanding.




From Grossman's acceptance speech for Peace Prize award at the Frankfurt Book Fair

 Grossman said in his acceptance speech for Peace Prize award at the Frankfurt Book Fair:

 

 

 "I believe that the most important things in the history of mankind take place neither on the battlefield, nor in the halls of palaces, nor in the corridors of parliaments, they happen in the kitchens, bedrooms and children's rooms."

 

Che dire!

 

Alcune affermazioni  lasciano interdetti e affascinati come questa espressa da Grossman.

Senti l'importanza e la profondità del pensiero e sai bene, con la tua esperienza, che ciò che è successo nelle mura domestiche ha plasmato la tua anima più di quanto abbiano potuto fare innumerevoli discorsi cripto intellettualistici, abili nel nascondere il vuoto  del sentire.

Cucina , camera da letto e camera dei bambini: lì si articola al meglio la vita di un bambino e lì si definisce o si costruisce un percorso.

Tutto il resto è solo un aftermath
