What signs? The evil in this world seems invincible where Moloch is not difficult to identify the many signals that intersect each other, giving a disturbing vision of the historical moment we are experiencing. A huge number of violence, bullying and injustice seems not to spare anyone. But the roots of violence are all in not recognizing the equal dignity of every human being. The large eyes leads me to an endless list of suffering and moral degradation: occult powers, organized crime, suspicion, hatred and hostility, subversion of ethics, obscuring the truth greed for wealth, lust for power, unbridled individualism, manipulation of consciences, democratic emergency, "or you're with me or against me", the great bluff of the "security plan", the gag law, the process short, the Constitution unapplied and risk, the idolatry of the god interest, the commodification wild, contempt of law, contempt of Creation, the complicit silence, you die in prison, murder within the family, the failures of justice disguised by the charity, indifference to global tragedies -like those of Haiti, Pakistan and many others-, marginalization, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, rejections, expulsions ... Who is man? Who are we? If it is true, as Enzo Bianchi, that "we others", against this view means that we are not. Vito Mancuso, in his real life, shows a page of Shakespeare's famous Antonio where, in front of the body of Brutus committed suicide shortly before, exclaims: "This was a man." But what is the feature that makes each of us is a "man"? Who can define "true man"? The "ontological status" of man lies in opening another, in recognizing our common roots, our common humanity. It is the dwelling place where our deepest desires and authentic, the desire for goodness, love, truth, of justice that are overwhelmed by a culture and a biased policy that inculcate as the ideal self-realization in the oppression, rampant individualism, consumerism, in opposition or cancellation of the other, thus preventing the realization of human self and Christian. From philosophy to psychology, theology, cultural anthropology, relationality is the size that makes this man. At the end of the 800 Nietzsche announced that "God is dead": the end of the twentieth century has ruled, writes the psychoanalyst Luigi Zoja, that "the neighbor is dead." And if the neighbor is dead, we too are destined to die. This is the cultural crisis of today, from whence the difficulties we are experiencing and generating continued denial of our humanity. The commodification of human relations to which the man eventually became an instrument of wealth and power, is no longer the subject of our report. The growing violence in our families is a worrying sign of a love that generates pathological abuse and denial of the same in the name of love. We would like another world, based on the dignity of all human beings - men and women, young and old - regardless of opinions, cultures, ethnicity, politics, religious, social and economic conditions. It is the Mahatma Gandhi reminds us that "according to the highest moral law [...] we should work tirelessly for the good of mankind." And as he says incisively Arturo Paoli, "if you think you can not do anything to change the world (and yourself), take note: it means you're dead. True just because you continue to breathe. " We still have to make the Gospel values \u200b\u200bproclaimed secular mind the French Revolution of 1789: freedom, equality, fraternity. Maybe we made the first two, but the fraternity is still far from being achieved. With Martin Luther King, my concern at this scenario and not only Italian, is "not that serious loud the clamor of the violent, but the appalling silence of good people."
