Why do some people comply and other people don't?

I have often wondered why some people are able to react to the constant lies of the propaganda inflicted by the oligarchy that would aim at ruling the world and why that kind of people understand the truth by pulling it out from the hiding in which it has been exiled while other people instead passively accept everything that is asked them and supinely comply without ever questioning.

We live in a world where two cities intertwine; one is of those who always have their gaze beyond the horizon of the saeculum [about the concept of saeculum in Sant'Agostino HERE] in which they live and the other one is of those who instead they don't even look up to the horizon, as Saint Augustin reminds us in that inexhaustible reservoir of similarities between the humanity of the epoch in which he lived and that of the epoch in which we live, the De Civitate Dei.

Perplexae quippe sunt istae duae ciuitates in hoc saeculo inuicemque permixtae, donec ultima iudicio dirimantur In fact the two cities are not recognizable in this flow of times and are mixed together, until they are separated at the last judgment.

Those who look up, beyond the horizon of the saeculum, they will be the ones who seek the truth, those instead who never raise their mind beyond the horizon of their necessity need, are not even interested in the truth and declare as enemies the other category of people.

We are divergent humanity, constitutively, genetically constituted by an intelligent design, which immediately (by birth) distinguishes us, according to laws that do not allow us to be understood.

Similarities between Lithuanian, Sanskrit and Ancient Greek: the sigmatic future

by Fabrizio Ulivieri Lithuanian is the most archaic among all the Indo-European languages spoken today, and as a result it is very useful, indeed, indispensable in the study of Indo-European linguistics. The most important fact is that Lithuanian is not only very archaic, but still very much alive, i. e., it is spoken by about three and a half million people. It has a rich tradition in folklore, in literature, and it is used very successfully in all walks of modern life, including the most advanced scientific research. Forced by our interest for this piece of living archaism, we go deeper in our linguistic survey. One of the most noticeable similarities is the future (- sigmatic future -). Lithuanian has preserved a future tense from prehistoric times: it has one single form, e.g. kalbė-siu 'I will speak', etc. kalbė-si kalbė-s kalbė-sime kalbė-site kalbė-s This form kalbėsiu is made from the stem kalbė-(ti) 'to speak', plus the ancient stem-end...

Yellow moons

Yellow moons at nighttime, Beyond the windows loom Stretch along and rise to bloom Flooding streets and singing rhyme. Downtown trains are full tonight. White pale girls try hard Their world shy discard Cross pale and dull the light. Like crows wave hands Uneasy scatter and chat around Watch the light now profound. But proudly keep their stands. Nothing captures their heart. Like thorns they are - without a rose. Oh, if I were the one they choose I would span silent the dark. I know that window, I know it's late I know the stairs and the doorway I stand by the light at the four-way I walk down past the gate and wait. Will I see her eyes tonight? From a downtown train A girl among many faces, insane Will I catch her slight dim sight? Oh my dreams, if she falls away, Am I going alone nowhere? Following the moon's glare I lonely wait - watch the train stay. -------------- PS. " Downtown Train" is one of my favourite songs. Tom Waits’ voice, or Rod Stewart’s voice sing...

Lietuviško skausmo kultūra

Gyvenu Lietuvoje jau keletą metų. Vertinu daug dalykų Lietuvoje. Ypač įdomūs man pasirodė žmonės. Mano nuomone, tai žmonės - ypač kilę iš kaimo vietovių, kurie sudaro daugumą - giliai įsišakniję skausmo kultūroje. Čia dalinuosi savo pastebėjimais, kurie gali būti neteisingi. Jei mano pastebėjimai neteisingi, prašau juos laikyti išoriniais — užsieniečio iš kitos kultūros žvilgsnio pastebėjimais Pagarba kitam paprastai matuojama laisve : „Kiek toli galiu peržengti savo laisvę, netapdamas problema kitam?“ Lietuvoje šis matas tampa kitu klausimu: „Kiek toli galiu peržengti savo skausmo slenkstį, kad mano skausmas netaptų problema kitam?“ Lietuviška kultūra yra giliai panirusi į skausmo viziją. Taip nutiko dėl daugelio priežasčių, tačiau svarbiausia, mano akimis, yra viena: lietuvis žmogus yra užsidaręs savyje - izoliuota, uždara ir beveik neįveikiama monada. Lietuvis žmogus turi savo tapatybę, bet ją visada sieja su dominuojančia viešąja mintimi. Jis eina savo keliu, bet visada...
