Giorno festivo del ringraziamento

Giorno festivo del ringraziamento Giorno festivo del Ringraziamento, storia, citazioni e cibo tipico. Negli Stati Uniti si celebra il quarto giovedì di novembre di ogni anno e segna l'inizio delle festività natalizie. Il Giorno del Ringraziamento per l'anno 2024 viene celebrato/osservato giovedì 28 novembre. Il Giorno del Ringraziamento negli Stati Uniti si celebra il quarto giovedì di novembre di ogni anno. Tradizionalmente è il momento di ringraziare per tutto il sacrificio e il duro lavoro svolto per il raccolto. Nei tempi moderni le persone si prendono una pausa dal lavoro (fine settimana di 4 giorni a partire da giovedì) e trascorrono del tempo con la famiglia e gli amici durante una grande festa che si tiene il Giorno del Ringraziamento. È stata una dottrina americana indiscutibile che la salsa di mirtilli rossi, una sostanza appiccicosa rosa con sfumature di pomodori zuccherati, sia una deliziosa necessità del consiglio del Ringraziamento e che il tacchino sia immangiabile senza di essa. Ci sono alcune cose in ogni paese che devi nascere per sopportare; e altri cento anni di soddisfazione generale per gli americani e per l'America non riuscirono a riconciliare questo espatriato con la salsa di mirtilli rossi, il burro di arachidi e le majorettes. Alistair Cooke (1908-2004, conduttore televisivo britannico, giornalista) È quando smettiamo di pensare a ciò che non abbiamo o a ciò che ci manca, e diventiamo grati per quello che siamo, che possiamo accedere alla vera ispirazione illimitata. Franco Arrigazzi Molti giorni del Ringraziamento sono stati rovinati dal fatto di non aver tagliato il tacchino in cucina. Kin Hubbard (1868-1930, umorista americano, giornalista) Nel Giorno del Ringraziamento, in tutta l’America, le famiglie si siedono a cena nello stesso momento: a metà tempo. Autore sconosciuto Il Ringraziamento segna l'inizio delle festività natalizie e rappresenta il cibo, la famiglia e i momenti di condivisione e di confessione di gratitudine. Sarah Moore I nostri antenati rurali, con poca fortuna, Pazienti del lavoro quando la fine era il riposo, Si abbandonavano al giorno che ospitava il loro grano annuale, Con feste, e offerte, e un impegno grato. Alexander Pope Il Ringraziamento è un momento per donare, un momento per amare e un momento per riflettere sulle cose che contano di più nella vita. Danielle Duckery

Thanksgiving Day Il Giorno del Ringraziamento è una festa nazionale annuale negli Stati Uniti e in Canada che celebra il raccolto e altre benedizioni dell'anno passato. Feste festive con nomi simili si verificano in Germania e Giappone. Gli americani generalmente credono che il loro Ringraziamento sia modellato su una festa del raccolto del 1621 condivisa dai coloni inglesi (pellegrini) di Plymouth e dal popolo Wampanoag. La festa americana è particolarmente ricca di leggende e simbolismi e il pasto tradizionale del Ringraziamento comprende tipicamente tacchino, pane ripieno, patate, mirtilli rossi e torta di zucca. Per quanto riguarda i viaggi in auto, la vacanza è spesso la più movimentata dell'anno, poiché i membri della famiglia si riuniscono tra loro. Sebbene il Ringraziamento abbia radici storiche nelle tradizioni religiose e culturali, è stato a lungo celebrato anche come festa secolare. Nella tradizione inglese, i giorni di ringraziamento e i servizi religiosi di ringraziamento speciale divennero importanti durante la Riforma inglese durante il regno di Enrico VIII e in reazione al gran numero di festività religiose nel calendario cattolico. Prima del 1536 c'erano 95 giorni festivi in chiesa, più 52 domeniche, in cui le persone dovevano frequentare la chiesa, rinunciare al lavoro e talvolta pagare per celebrazioni costose. Le riforme del 1536 ridussero il numero delle festività religiose a 27, ma alcuni puritani desideravano eliminare completamente tutte le festività religiose, compresi Natale e Pasqua. Le festività dovevano essere sostituite da Giorni di digiuno o Giorni di Ringraziamento appositamente chiamati, in risposta ad eventi che i Puritani consideravano atti di speciale provvidenza. Disastri imprevisti o minacce di giudizio dall'alto richiedevano Giorni di digiuno. Benedizioni speciali, viste come provenienti da Dio, richiedevano i Giorni del Ringraziamento. Ad esempio, i Giorni di digiuno furono indetti a causa della siccità nel 1611, delle inondazioni nel 1613 e delle pestilenze nel 1604 e 1622.

Giorno del Ringraziamento I Giorni del Ringraziamento furono indetti in seguito alla vittoria sull'Armada spagnola nel 1588 e in seguito alla liberazione della regina Anna nel 1705. Un insolito Giorno del Ringraziamento annuale iniziò nel 1606 in seguito al fallimento del complotto delle polveri da sparo nel 1605 e si trasformò nel Guy Fawkes Day il 5 novembre. Il Ringraziamento di Plymouth iniziò con l’uscita di alcuni coloni ad “uccellagione”, forse per i tacchini ma più probabilmente per la preda più facile di oche e anatre, dal momento che “in un giorno uccisero tanto quanto… servirono la compagnia per quasi una settimana. I coloni del New England erano abituati a celebrare regolarmente il “Ringraziamento”, giorni di preghiera in cui ringraziavano Dio per benedizioni come la vittoria militare o la fine di una siccità. Ad esempio, il Congresso continentale degli Stati Uniti ha proclamato il Ringraziamento nazionale dopo l’entrata in vigore della Costituzione. Eppure, dopo il 1798, il nuovo Congresso degli Stati Uniti lasciò agli stati le dichiarazioni del Ringraziamento; alcuni si opposero al coinvolgimento del governo nazionale in un'osservanza religiosa, i meridionali furono lenti nell'adottare un'usanza del New England e altri si offesero per il fatto che la giornata fosse utilizzata per tenere discorsi e parate partigiane. Il Giorno del Ringraziamento nazionale sembrava più un parafulmine per le controversie che una forza unificante. Negli Stati Uniti, la moderna tradizione festiva del Ringraziamento viene fatta risalire a una celebrazione scarsamente documentata del 1621 a Plymouth, nell'attuale Massachusetts, e anche a un evento ben registrato del 1619 in Virginia. La festa e il ringraziamento di Plymouth del 1621 furono stimolati da un buon raccolto. Pellegrini e puritani che iniziarono a emigrare dall'Inghilterra negli anni 1620 e 1630 portarono con sé nel New England la tradizione dei giorni di digiuno e dei giorni di ringraziamento. L'arrivo nel 1619 di 38 coloni inglesi a Berkeley Hundred nella contea di Charles City, in Virginia, si concluse con una celebrazione religiosa come dettato dallo statuto del gruppo della Compagnia di Londra, che richiedeva specificamente "che il giorno dell'arrivo delle nostre navi nel luogo assegnato... in la terra della Virginia sarà annualmente e perennemente mantenuta santa come un giorno di ringraziamento a Dio Onnipotente. Il Giorno del Ringraziamento non divenne una festa ufficiale finché i nordici non dominarono il governo federale. Mentre a metà del XIX secolo prevalevano le tensioni settoriali, l’editore della popolare rivista Godey’s Lady’s Book, Sarah Josepha Hale, fece una campagna per un Giorno nazionale del Ringraziamento per promuovere l’unità. Alla fine ottenne il sostegno del presidente Abraham Lincoln. Il 3 ottobre 1863, durante la Guerra Civile, Lincoln proclamò una giornata nazionale di ringraziamento da celebrare giovedì 26 novembre.

Cibo e ricette del Ringraziamento Da allora in poi la festa fu proclamata ogni anno da ogni presidente e la data scelta, con poche eccezioni, fu l'ultimo giovedì di novembre. Il presidente Franklin D. Roosevelt, tuttavia, tentò di estendere la stagione dello shopping natalizio, che generalmente inizia con la festa del Ringraziamento, e di rilanciare l'economia spostando la data indietro di una settimana, alla terza settimana di novembre. Ma non tutti gli stati si adeguarono e, dopo una risoluzione congiunta del Congresso nel 1941, Roosevelt emanò un proclama nel 1942 che designava il quarto giovedì di novembre (che non è sempre l'ultimo giovedì) come Giorno del Ringraziamento. Man mano che il paese diventava più urbano e i membri della famiglia cominciavano a vivere sempre più distanti, il Ringraziamento divenne un momento per riunirsi. La festa si è allontanata dalle sue radici religiose per consentire agli immigrati di ogni provenienza di partecipare a una tradizione comune. Le partite di football del Giorno del Ringraziamento, a cominciare da Yale contro Princeton nel 1876, permisero ai fan di aggiungere un po' di turbolenza alle festività. Alla fine del 1800 divennero comuni le sfilate di festaioli in costume. Nel 1920 il grande magazzino Gimbel’s di Filadelfia organizzò una sfilata di circa 50 persone con Babbo Natale in fondo al corteo. Dal 1924 la parata annuale di Macy's a New York City continua la tradizione, con enormi palloncini dal 1927. La festa associata ai pellegrini e ai nativi americani è diventata il simbolo della pace interculturale, dell'opportunità dell'America per i nuovi arrivati e della santità della casa e della famiglia. In Canada le origini del Ringraziamento vengono talvolta fatte risalire ai coloni francesi che arrivarono nella Nuova Francia nel XVII secolo, che celebravano i loro raccolti di successo. I coloni francesi della zona in genere organizzavano feste alla fine della stagione del raccolto e continuavano per tutta la stagione invernale, condividendo anche il cibo con le popolazioni indigene della zona. Nel 1879 il Parlamento istituì il 6 novembre il Giorno nazionale del Ringraziamento; la data è variata nel corso degli anni. Dal 1957 in Canada si celebra il Giorno del Ringraziamento il secondo lunedì di ottobre. Il Ringraziamento generalmente non viene celebrato in Australia. Tuttavia, nel territorio esterno australiano dell'isola di Norfolk, il Ringraziamento viene celebrato l'ultimo mercoledì di novembre, in modo simile all'osservanza americana prima della seconda guerra mondiale l'ultimo giovedì del mese. Ciò significa che l’osservanza dell’Isola di Norfolk cade il giorno prima o sei giorni dopo l’osservanza degli Stati Uniti. La vacanza è stata portata sull'isola visitando le navi baleniere americane.

Parata del Ringraziamento New York Mentre milioni di persone negli Stati Uniti si impegnano nelle tradizioni annuali del Giorno del Ringraziamento, ovvero mangiare e fare shopping, vale la pena ricordare che non tutti celebrano l’evento. Nel 2015 un gruppo di nativi americani ha rivelato cosa provano riguardo alle festività in una serie di video potenti. Tra le parole che usarono c’erano “tristezza”, “massacro” e “bugie”. Alla domanda su Columbus, le persone erano invariabilmente negative e sprezzanti. La maggior parte delle reazioni sono state negative, con alcuni che hanno definito il Ringraziamento "un massacro", e la maggior parte ha affermato che il termine pellerossa era razzista. Alcuni dei partecipanti hanno imprecato o hanno alzato il dito con rabbia. Uno definì l'esploratore “il primo terrorista d'America”. "È sempre stato strano per me avere quel giorno libero per celebrare qualcuno, tipo, non abbiamo un giorno per Hitler, ma è la stessa cosa", ha detto un partecipante. Altri si sono detti sconcertati dal fatto che sia stato addirittura considerato una figura importante nella storia, dato che “non ha scoperto nulla e invece si è perso”. “Come popolo indigeno, i nostri anziani ci hanno insegnato a ringraziare ogni giorno”, ha detto. “Siamo un popolo sopravvissuto al genocidio. Per noi è molto importante avere la possibilità di riunirsi con le nostre famiglie”. Il tacchino è il simbolo del Ringraziamento e della cena di Natale per le famiglie americane. Quando i Padri Pellegrini lasciarono l'Europa per stabilirsi nelle colonie, sbarcarono a Plymouth, nel Massachusetts nel 1620, e lì trovarono la loro nuova casa. La persecuzione nel vecchio continente era stata dura, ma né il lungo viaggio a bordo della Mayflower per attraversare l'Oceano Atlantico, né il freddo inverno aiutarono i nuovi coloni, la cui vita, all'inizio, fu più che una lotta. Grati a Dio, nonostante tutto, decisero di lodarlo l'ultimo giovedì di novembre, istituendo la festa del Ringraziamento. In America la giornata viene celebrata con una ricca cena dove il tacchino ripieno è il piatto forte. Cosa sappiamo di questo grande uccello impettito? Originari dell'America Centrale, i tacchini erano apprezzati sia nella cultura Maya che in quella Azteca ed erano un'importante fonte di cibo. I conquistadores spagnoli che arrivarono in Messico si resero presto conto del valore degli animali e li rispedirono in Europa, dove furono addomesticati e allevati in Italia, Francia e Inghilterra nel 1500. I pellegrini li portarono nel New England, dove furono incrociati con la popolazione locale di tacchini selvatici orientali.

Black Friday Shopping Con il 25% in meno di grassi rispetto al petto di pollo e il 75% in meno di grassi rispetto al manzo magro o al maiale, la carne di tacchino bianco è una scelta naturale per le persone attente alla salute. Una porzione da 3 once di petto di tacchino contiene 120 calorie, 1 grammo di grassi, senza grassi saturi e 26 grammi di proteine. Aggiungi la pelle o scegli la carne scura e aumenteranno sia il conteggio delle calorie che dei grassi. La Turchia è una buona fonte di vitamina B e minerali, ferro e zinco. Si stima che circa il 95% delle famiglie americane mangi tacchino durante il Ringraziamento mentre il 50% lo serve per la cena di Natale. A livello globale gli israeliani mangiano più tacchino: più di 28 libbre a persona ogni anno. Il Black Friday è il giorno dopo il Giorno del Ringraziamento e il venerdì prima del Cyber Monday negli Stati Uniti. È un'intensa giornata di shopping ed è un giorno festivo in alcuni stati. Molte persone hanno un giorno libero dal lavoro o scelgono di prendersi un giorno dal loro importo di ferie annuali durante il Black Friday. Alcune persone sfruttano questa occasione anche per fare viaggi per vedere familiari o amici che vivono in altre zone o per andare in vacanza. Altri lo usano per iniziare a fare acquisti per il periodo natalizio. Anche lo shopping per i regali di Natale è popolare durante il Black Friday. Molti negozi propongono offerte speciali e abbassano i prezzi su alcuni beni, come i giocattoli. Il Black Friday non è una festa federale, ma in alcuni stati è un giorno festivo pubblico. Molte persone prendono un giorno di ferie annuali il giorno successivo al Giorno del Ringraziamento. Molte organizzazioni chiudono anche per il fine settimana del Ringraziamento.

Motivational quotes and aphorisms

Motivational quotes and aphorisms Motivational quotes and aphorisms, phrases, ideas, reflections and thoughts by various famous authors to stimulate your motivation and strengthen your resilience. Motivational and inspirational quotes have similar goals but differ in nuances of meaning and emotional impact. In short, while motivational quotes stimulate energy and movement toward a goal, inspirational quotes spark imagination and encourage reflection. Motivational quotes have a more practical and direct purpose, often aiming to stimulate concrete actions. They are used to give the push needed to face challenges, to maintain focus on specific goals and to persevere in the face of difficulties. Motivational phrases tend to be pragmatic, energetic and results-oriented, inviting us to take action. These nuggets of wisdom encourage us to always do better, to never give up and to always move forward no matter what happens. These short reflections, quotes and thoughts, often written by famous authors, well-known figures or successful entrepreneurs, thanks to their incisive structure are able to inspire and encourage people, pushing them to believe in themselves, to improve themselves and to face change. They thus become a sort of mantra or personal motto, to be repeated daily or in moments of greatest need, to find motivation and inner strength. Inspirational quotes and sayings are designed to stimulate deep thought and awaken emotions or intuitions. They are often based on universal concepts, moral values, or the beauty of life, and help connect with a broader sense of purpose or meaning. Inspirational quotes tend to suggest a higher or spiritual view of life, encouraging inner growth and connection with ideals. However, all aphorisms in general, precisely because they are flashes of intellect of a very often poetic, philosophical and pragmatic nature, are favorable both to inspire the people who read them with new ideas, wise advice and motivational charges, moreover they are so numerous, that everyone can find those most suited to their own character, their own personality and their own intentions. The secret of human motivation lies in purpose, autonomy, and mastery. These elements drive people to engage, persist, and excel in their endeavors. Motivation is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. While genetic predispositions can affect baseline levels of drive and persistence, motivation can also be significantly cultivated and enhanced through learning, experiences, and the environment. Money is important for providing motivation, especially for meeting basic needs and achieving financial security. However, its effectiveness as a motivator diminishes once these needs are met. Intrinsic motivators, such as personal growth, autonomy, and a sense of purpose, often play a more significant role in sustained motivation and job satisfaction. It is up to us to be one way or another. Our body is a garden, our will is the gardener. You can plant nettles or sow lettuce, put in hyssop and uproot thyme, grow one kind of herb or several kinds, leave the ground barren through laziness or fertilize it with work. Power and authority depend on us. William Shakespeare To be motivated you have to find a goal, pursue a goal, stimulate desire, cultivate passion and not just think about satisfying your physiological needs, and filling the sewers. Carl William Brown Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth. Bradley Whitford Life is a game, we can't undo a move, but we can make the next one better.

Best music and songs of the 1960s

Best music and song of the 1960s Best music and songs of the 1960s, a selection of the most famous hits of this legendary period with author, title, release year and original videos on Youtube. Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Berthold Auerbach One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain. Bob Marley Music - it's motivational and just makes you relax. Taika Waititi The 1960s were a transformative decade in music, producing some of the most iconic songs and artists in history. It was a time of social upheaval, cultural change, and musical experimentation, giving rise to rock, pop, soul, and folk genres that continue to influence musicians today. Here are some highlights: 1. The Rise of Rock 'n' Roll The Beatles: No discussion of the '60s is complete without mentioning The Beatles. With albums like Revolver, Rubber Soul, and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, they reshaped rock, pushing the boundaries of what pop music could be. The Rolling Stones: Known for their bluesy, rebellious sound, The Rolling Stones helped popularize rock’s edgier side with hits like "Paint It Black," "Satisfaction," and "Sympathy for the Devil." The Doors and Jimi Hendrix: Both acts contributed a darker, psychedelic edge to rock, exemplified by songs like "Light My Fire" and "Purple Haze." 2. Folk and Protest Music Bob Dylan: With songs like "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'," Dylan became a voice for social change, blending folk traditions with politically charged lyrics. Joan Baez and Peter, Paul and Mary: These artists also contributed to the folk scene, bringing attention to issues of civil rights and anti-war sentiments. 3. The Motown Sound and Soul Music Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding: Their powerful voices brought emotion and gospel influences into pop, and Franklin's "Respect" became an anthem for both civil rights and women's rights. Motown Records: Founded by Berry Gordy, Motown brought black music into mainstream America. The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and The Temptations were just a few of the artists who topped charts with songs that mixed soul, pop, and R&B. 4. Psychedelia and Experimental Sounds The late '60s saw the rise of psychedelic rock, with artists experimenting with unusual sounds, lyrical themes, and new recording techniques. Bands like Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, and The Grateful Dead exemplified this genre, creating music that often mirrored the countercultural movements of the time. Albums like The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds and The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper showed how music production was becoming an art form, influencing bands for decades. 5. Pop and Iconic Singles The Supremes, The Beach Boys, and The Monkees: Songs like "Good Vibrations" and "I'm a Believer" showcased the fun, accessible side of '60s music, providing catchy, upbeat tunes that captured the lighter side of the decade. The music of the 1960s was revolutionary because it not only reflected the era's social changes but also shaped them, making the decade unforgettable in music history.

Why is education so important

Why education is so important Why is education so important for living a good and useful life, an article with some quotes, links and resources to stress the fundamental role of learning in our societies. Education is crucial because it empowers individuals and strengthens societies. It fosters critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and creativity, equipping people with the knowledge needed to adapt in a fast-changing world. Education helps reduce poverty and inequality, promotes social cohesion, and encourages responsible citizenship by teaching shared values. It also drives economic growth by creating skilled workforces, innovating industries, and supporting sustainable development. An educated population is healthier, more productive, and better able to contribute to and protect democratic values, which creates a foundation for a fairer and more resilient society. Education begins the gentleman, but reading, good company, and reflection must finish him. John Locke The limits of my language means the limits of my world. Ludwig Wittgenstein Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed. Joseph Stalin We are born weak, we need strength; helpless, we need aid; foolish, we need reason. All that we lack at birth, all that we need when we come to man's estate, is the gift of education. Jean Jacques Rousseau Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs. John Ruskin The foundation of every state is the education of its youth. Diogenes

The importance of education Education is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the beauty and the youth. Chanakya The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles but to irrigate deserts. The right defence against false sentiments is to inculcate just sentiments. By starving the sensibility of our pupils we only make them easier prey to the propagandist when he comes. C.S. Lewis Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run. Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education. Mark Twain The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. Education is the best provision for old age. Aristotle The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work. John Ruskin Whom do I call educated? First, those who manage well the circumstances they encounter day by day. Next, those who are decent and honorable in their intercourse with all men, bearing easily and good naturedly what is offensive in others and being as agreeable and reasonable to their associates as is humanly possible to be... those who hold their pleasures always under control and are not ultimately overcome by their misfortunes... those who are not spoiled by their successes, who do not desert their true selves but hold their ground steadfastly as wise and sober - minded men. Socrates

The reasons why education is so important Why is education so important for living a good and useful life, watch these videos: all about learning and 5 main reasons why education is so important, but first of all remember what Aristotle use to say, that is: “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” And then, last but not least, since it is very important for a good living to follow this old latin proverb: "mente sana, in corpore sano", that is "healthy mind in healthy body", you can watch these videos about good and easy food! I have never let my schooling interfere with my education. Mark Twain Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. Mahatma Gandhi Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. Nelson Mandela Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence. Robert Frost It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. Confucius Education: the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty. Mark Twain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8YiwdTk9J4 Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil. C.S. Lewis Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in. Leonardo da Vinci Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.

Sogno, mamma, morte e memoria

Sogno mamma morte e memoria Sogno, mamma, morte e memoria, un articolo sui sogni, con riferimento alla mamma, la malattia, la morte, la memoria, la sofferenza e un certo masochismo onirico. Sognare il sogno impossibile, combattere il nemico invincibile, sopportare il dolore insopportabile, correre dove l’audace non osa andare. Correggere l’errore irreparabile, amare il puro e il casto al di là di tutto sforzandosi quando le braccia sono troppo stanche, di raggiungere la stella irraggiungibile. Questa è la mia ricerca: seguire questa stella per quanto senza speranza, per quanto lontana, combattere per il giusto senza domande nè soste, voler avanzare nell’inferno per una causa celeste. Ed io so che se sarò unicamente fedele a questa gloriosa ricerca, il mio cuore giacerà in pace tranquillo. Quando io sarò seppellito, il mondo sarà migliore per questo, perchè un uomo indegno e ferito, si sforzerà ancora con la sua ultima oncia di coraggio, per raggiungere la stella irraggiungibile. Joe Darion Se Freud avesse avuto a disposizione i sogni di mia madre sarebbe diventato ancora più grande di quel che è stato. Carl William Brown Alcuni critici affermano che la letteratura aforistica non è molto attraente perché non aiuta a evadere, tanto meno a sognare, ma al contrario è una lucida osservazione della realtà, è un confronto-riflessione con noi stessi e con il mondo che ci circonda. Ma non è forse questo il sogno più grande, quello di migliorare concretamente la nostra misera condizione terrena? Carl William Brown Non ho mai superato il trauma di essere venuto al mondo, non mi è mai piaciuta la stupidità dell'universo, e figuriamoci se potrò mai accettare il dolore per la morte di mia madre. Carl William Brown “Il pazzo è un sognatore sveglio”. Krauss dichiara che “la pazzia è un sogno sognato mentre i sensi sono svegli”. Schopenhauer chiama i sogni una breve follia e la follia un lungo sogno. Hagen descrive il delirio come vita onirica prodotta non dal sonno ma da malattia. Wundt scrive: “Noi stessi, in realtà, possiamo sperimentare nei sogni quasi tutti quei fenomeni che si verificano nei manicomi”. Sigmund Freud Lo scrittore e filosofo greco antico Artemidoro di Daldi, grande maestro nell'arte divinatoria, interprete di sogni e visioni con scopi scientifici e didattici, sosteneva che il sogno è un movimento o un'invenzione multiforme dell'anima, che segnala il bene o il male futuri. Stando così le cose, l'anima predice tutto ciò che accadrà con il passare del tempo, prima o poi, confermando una famosa sentenza più moderna del noto economista inglese John Maynard Keynes, che aveva giustamente previsto che nel lungo periodo saremo tutti morti. Carl William Brown Il lavoro onirico ha ridotto a un livello di indifferenza non solo il contenuto ma spesso anche il tono emotivo dei miei pensieri. Si potrebbe dire che il lavoro onirico determina una repressione di affetti. Sigmund Freud

Sognare di volare Dopo la fine del tempo, madre, ci ritroveremo nella realtà del sogno che non esiste, nel mondo delle illusioni scomparse; saremo felici, sereni, in pace, e finalmente potremo godere di ciò che non siamo. Carl William Brown La fede nei sogni profetici ha molti seguaci, perché può basarsi sul fatto che in futuro certe cose si realizzeranno davvero, proprio come il desiderio, nel sogno, le aveva costruite. Ma c'è poco di cui sorprendersi, e tra il sogno e il suo compimento, di regola, ci sono grandi lacune che la credulità dei sognatori ama trascurare. Sigmund Freud Anche nei sogni meglio interpretati è spesso necessario lasciare un punto nell'oscurità, perché nel corso dell'interpretazione ci si accorge che in quel punto inizia un groviglio di pensieri onirici che non può essere districato, ma che non ha contribuito in alcun modo al contenuto del sogno. Questo è quindi l'ombelico del sogno, il punto in cui sprofonda nell'ignoto. Sigmund Freud Riflessioni e pensieri sul sogno. Secondo la Qabbalah, Dio nella sua essenza più intima e nascosta, viene indicato come “L’Infinito” (En Soft), del quale nulla può essere scrutato né detto; perciò egli viene anche indicato come il “Nulla” (Ajin) o con espressioni più metaforiche, come la “Lunga Faccia”, “Il Santo Vecchio” e altre. Lo Zohar o Sefer Zohar (Libro dello splendore) è l’opera più rilevante per profondità speculativa, quella che costituisce il fulcro e il culmine della quabbalah medievale. Per i mistici della quabbalah l’universo è intessuto di simboli che conducono gradatamente all’essere reale, il quale non è più un segno, ma l’ultima segnaterra, la “Grande cosa significata”: in questo orizzonte, insegna lo Zohar, non esiste divaricazione tra il segno artificiale e la cosa significata, perché l’uno come l’altra sono al tempo stesso realtà e sogno, esteriorità e interiorità, sensibilità e astrazione, vita e morte. E’ il principio della “coincidentia oppositorum” di Ficino che ci ricorda il confine sfumato tra il bene ed il male di Nietzsche, o l’unione tra etica ed estetica di Ayer e Wittgenstein; in pratica è il terreno paludoso e contraddittorio del linguaggio e della nostra stupida umanità come sostiene appunto il mistico Carl William Brown. L’oniromanzia o interpretazione dei sogni è un’arte antichissima che ha avuto i suoi cultori in tutte le epoche della storia. Così tutti i più grandi geni letterari si sono cimentati con il sogno, l’arte e la fantasia, a cominciare da Socrate e Platone che grazie al loro Daimon, genio protettore, ricevevano in sogno preziosi consigli. Grazie ai sogni e alle premonizioni, tutti i grandi poeti hanno alimentato i desideri e la fantasia dell’umanità, diventando così dei veggenti e rischiarando la strada verso la felicità. Il sogno, il sonno e la morte, tematiche da sempre al centro della riflessione artistica furono esaltate nell’ottocento, creando appunto il mito dell’eroe romantico e più tardi decadente. L’eterna tematica dell’amore e della morte sfociava così nei famosi istinti di vita e di morte Freudiani, dando vita ad una nuova disciplina, che ispirata sia da grandi poeti del passato come William Shakespeare, sia dal metodo dell’associazione di idee, avrebbe portato fondamentali innovazioni nel mondo culturale e scientifico del novecento. Riprendendo così la complessa simbologia del linguaggio, dei miti, del folklore, e delle fiabe, i cultori della disciplina si guadagnarono una fama mondiale, ridonando allo stesso tempo un’immenso valore alla creazione fantastica, letteraria, poetica, e artistica in genere, tanto che lo stesso Freud alla fine sostenne che lo psicoanalista ideale dovrebbe essere, più che un medico, un’intellettuale umanistico. Questa realtà ha anche portato per assurdo ad una eccessiva medicalizzazione della disciplina, ormai retaggio di mediocri scienziati più inclini alla stupidità che non ad un’umana genialità. Carl William Brown

Sogni e memoria Non ho mai sognato molto, anzi quasi per niente, o per meglio dire al risveglio non mi ricordavo di aver sognato. Certo, in alcune occasioni capitava, i soliti sogni ordinari dei comuni mortali, più raramente qualche brutto sogno, ma niente di preoccupante. Tuttavia in questa riflessione non voglio soffermarmi più di tanto sulle mie esperienze oniriche, di cui magari avrò modo di parlare in un altro articolo, ma piuttosto brevemente su quelle di mia madre. Mia mamma si sognava spesso, penso tutte le notti, e quando non aveva altri impegni, quindi verso un'età non più giovanissima, al mattino apriva il cassetto del comodino e prendeva un libretto di interpretazioni dei sogni, sul tipo della smorfia napoletana, sebbene più sintetico, cercava il riferimento e leggeva la spiegazione e poi naturalmente si preoccupava, perché in genere i suoi sogni, come la sua vita, non erano belli, anzi, diciamo pure il contrario, ad eccezione di quando si sognava di volare. Io naturalmente, che non ho mai creduto a tutte queste teorie sulle interpretazioni dei sogni, quelle di Freud e soci comprese, benché il grande Sigmund sia uno dei miei autori preferiti, e fatta naturalmente eccezione per quanto riguarda l'attività onirica legata al pensiero irrazionale, incosciente e patologico, stupidamente mi arrabbiavo un po', e talvolta le facevo riporre anche il libretto, anche se mi facevo raccontare il contenuto del sogno in questione. Comunque prima di concludere questo sintetico testo, per approfondire brevemente la questione onirica farò alcuni esempi sulle tipologia di sogni più frequenti che possono riguardare la gente comune, con anche qualche riferimento a mia madre e a me stesso. Per una persona abbastanza sana di mente, tranquilla e soddisfatta in genere sono abituali i sogni di volo, e questo caratterizzava spesso i sogni di mia mamma, sia anche i miei, solo che nel mio caso io volavo a pochi centimetri dal terreno, quasi come in una sorta di lievitazione magnetica, ed anche piuttosto velocemente, mentre mia madre volava proprio nel cielo, come un uccello. E poi ci sono i sogni nostalgici, di ricordi, di inseguimento, di disorientamento, di fallimenti, di perdita, oppure quelli che ripetono situazioni quotidiane pertinenti al soggetto e si svolgono nei luoghi di lavoro o di studio, come potrebbe essere una scuola, ma sono ovviamente più confusi, magari più fantasiosi o paradossali e via dicendo. Tuttavia mia madre era una grande lavoratrice, una perfezionista, ma soprattutto incline a stati ansioni, particolarmente apprensiva, insoddisfatta e predisposta ad una certa depressione, per cui i suoi sogni col passare degli anno divennero più turbati, più problematici e ovviamente anche più drammatici, senza tuttavia eliminare quelli classici e più comuni. Quando poi ha sviluppato una patologia mentale, verso i 75 anni, un misto tra il Parkinson, la demenza senile e chissà quale altro disturbo, si è rilassata del tutto, ed era oniricamente tranquilla e sempre di predisposizione estremamente bonaria, pur non essendo più in grado di fare alcunché, compreso il badare a se stessa, infatti l'ho assistita per più di 12 anni con l'aiuto ovviamente di una badante, e in certe situazioni anche più di una, e l'ausilio dei farmaci e della fiosterapia. Col passar degli anni ha perso completamente la capacità di camminare, benché se sorretta è riuscita per un lungo periodo a fare ancora alcuni piccoli passi, e quindi non solo l'equilibrio che gli era venuto meno sin dall'inizio, ed infine anche la facoltà di parlare ad eccezione di alcune brevi parole, però affettivamente era ancora presente, quasi sempre soorridente, se escludiamo gli ultimi periodi terminali, e le fasi acute con il covid e altri disturbi, sembrava una bambina piccola, dal viso rotondo e senza rughe, e anche se non riconosceva le persone, dava comunque l'impressione di non essere nemmeno ammalata.

Mamma, sogni e ricordi Mia madre è morta l'anno scorso, alcuni mesi dopo aver compiuto i 90 anni e naturalmente mi manca moltissimo, anche perché io le ero profondamente legato, essendo poi figlio unico, non sposato, ed avendo vissuto con lei per tutta la vita, posso quindi dire che con la sua scomparsa, una buona parte della mia già scarsa voglia di vivere se n'è definitivamente andata con lei. E qui giunge la mia riflessione sui sogni. Senza entrare in questioni fisiologiche o neurologiche mi sento di affermare che queste esperienze vissute nel sonno, ma anche talvolta nel dormiveglia, sono profondamente legate al passato e stimolano in modo profondo e chiaramente anche subconscio i nostri ricordi, che si legheranno per forza di cose al nostro presente e alla nostra vita futura. Se dovessi individuare le parole chiave dei sogni, pertanto direi memoria, ricordi, e quindi mancanza e desiderio di qualcosa che al momento non c'è, e in molti casi non potrà mai esserci di nuovo. Il cervello quando sogna lavora in una fase atavica della nostra storia umana, senza i controlli evolutivi presenti in genere per le persone sana nelle fasi di veglia, tanto da far dire appunto che nella vita onirica trionfa l'inconscio, il caos e la follia. Nella mia situazione tutto ciò è molto connesso ad una cospicua sofferenza esistenziale legata soprattutto al mio carattere, alla mia struttura cerebrale e ad una quasi patologica sovrabbondanza di attività del pensiero. Mia madre non esiste più, vive ancora in me, nel mio cervello, nei miei geni, in varie manie del mio carattere, e soprattutto nei miei ricordi, nei miei pensieri, ma questo con il sogno purtroppo non ha molto a che vedere, se non con il desiderio di poterla rivedere ancora in vita, illusione assolutamente e fisicamente irrealizzabile, e poco sollievo mi potrebbe portare il sognarla di notte, anzi l'evento non sarebbe altro che un rafforzamento del mio dolore, però, visto il mio masochismo, non posso negare di sperare di sognarmela in una buona rappresentazione e di ricordami bene tutto ciò di cui potrebbe essere protagonista. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7sixHRL1mQ Sempre sui sogni, la mamma e la memoria potete anche leggere: Great quotes and aphorisms on dreams Aforismi sul sogno e i sognatori di Carl William Brown Mamma, morte e memoria di Carl William Brown Fotografie, memoria, tristezza e ricordi Riflessioni e pensieri sul sogno (Autori Vari) Citazioni e aforismi di Sigmund Freud sui sogni Pensieri e riflessioni di Sigmund Freud World Day Dreams September the 25th 2024 Cerca nella famosa smorfia napoletana Scarica L’interpretazione dei sogni di Freud e altri testi dell’autore Aforismi per argomento Aforismi per autore Pensieri e riflessioni Saggi e aforismi Read the full article

Quotes and aphorisms on animals

Quotes and aphorisms on animals Quotes and aphorisms on animals by famous authors, writers, artists and men of science to remind us the importance of animals for our lives and our planet earth. World Animal Day is an international day of action for animal rights and welfare. It is celebrated on October 4 each year, the feast day of Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. The elephant, not only the largest but the most intelligent of animals, provides us with an excellent example. It is faithful and tenderly loving to the female of its choice, mating only every third year and then for no more than five days, and so secretly as never to be seen, until, on the sixth day, it appears and goes at once to wash its whole body in the river, unwilling to return to the herd until thus purified. Such good and modest habits are an example to husband and wife. St. Francis De Sales Animals, in their generation, are wiser than the sons of men; but their wisdom is confined to a few particulars, and lies in a very narrow compass. Joseph Addison Of all the wonders of nature, a tree in summer is perhaps the most remarkable; with the possible exception of a moose singing "Embraceable You" in spats. Woody Allen Man is an animal endowed with reason, but also with much stupidity. Carl William Brown At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst. Aristotle Drinking, when we are not thirsty and making love all year round, madam; that is all there is to distinguish us from other animals. Pierre De Beaumarchais The dog is the god of frolic. Henry Ward Beecher I shoot the Hippopotamus with bullets made of platinum, because if I use the leaden one his hide is sure to flatten em. Hilaire Belloc

Quotes on animals Scientific laws are still a product of man, that's why I, first of all, dedicate myself to the study of this amazing animal.
