Classics: “1984”

It is incredible how after more than sixty years this tragic novel is still so relevant. Tragic, because I don’t know about you but me the idea that someone can see every single action I do, that even checks what I have to think and fixes the shot if ever I’m wrong, scares me! It seems to me something horrible! Yet we are allowing it, if not at those dictatorial levels, to a more acceptable extent we are absolutely already undergoing it.
Just think of how many payments we make with credit cards (and therefore traceable), the cameras on the streets, the traffic control cameras, the PC webcam.

Through The Mirror

“Winston Smith: Does Big Brother exist?
O’Brien: Of course he exists.
Winston Smith: Does he exist like you or me?
O’Brien: You do not exist.”

It is a perversion of life to make more and more commitments than necessary, to start new projects while not having closed …

““Viaggiare significa scoprire che tutti hanno torto riguardo gli altri paesi” -Aldous Huxley”

Mi manca così tanto viaggiare, che nonostante sia indietrissimo con la parte in inglese, nonostante ultimamente stia scrivendo poco e mi stia affidando più che altro al reblog, ho deciso di aggiungere un nuovo argomento. È una perversione di vita quello di prendere sempre più impegni del dovuto, iniziare nuovi progetti pur non avendo ancora …

“Quanto sei BELLA (e triste) Roma, quando sei vuota…”

Oggi, 3 giugno 2020, sono uscita per la prima volta dopo l’8 marzo, non per questioni di necessità. O meglio, non per questioni di URGENTI necessità, perché a mio parere, rivedere la mia città dopo 3 mesi un po’ una necessità lo è. È anche l’anniversario del Blog, 4 anni, chi ci avrebbe mai creduto …

“Time”

Quarantine. In fact, forty[1] days have passed, and apart from the two times I went at the supermarket or to throw out the garbage, dressed halfway between a robber and the witch,, I spent the time at home. #StayHome #staysafe I miss traveling so much like water in the desert. I miss work more than …
