The man at the center of the universe

by Enzo Donnarumma (sorry for the bad translation)


"The man at the center of the universe." This is the slogan with which we are used to summarize the complex and revolutionary ideology with which the Renaissance to pour out his spirit in innovative cultural intellectuals and artists of the fifteenth century.
Renaissance. What a curious coincidence! Reborn ... The irony of the language sometimes betrays great truth accidentally, when one considers that the psyche of a man born just really considers himself the center of the universe, displaying that belief until the trauma of others to introduce the concept of company: your brother or your fellow asylum claim to have your own importance, and often manage to be even more important figures in being right when you fight, to receive more consideration and more affection than you.You can be very lucky if you can intelligere these traumas behind the concept of justice, but if it is not the first feelings of depression begin to make their way into your emotional world, as the world puts you aside, you do not like, do you consider thesecond, in fact you are no longer the center of the universe. End of the Renaissance!You're growing, you're missing in the maze of an anthill of people like you who try to support each other in some way to have the remains of the central position, in which cotton, years before, should understand that mom and dad cry was run to satisfy theyour weaknesses and your desires.What was your ego in your early years? Through which that Ego wanted at all costs to have a toy, without giving anyone, then let down after having run out of curiosity or fun that you sent.That Ego you jealous when something was delivered into the hands of your brother or sister, automatically becoming a factor of claim on your part. That Ego which aroused resentment in your heart when young, for some reason, it gave you a parent does not care. That Ego innate thing that made you really most important of all, more than others, the only thing that really existed.The experience regularly punishes the ego. More or less is always the case. It begins to feel the bitter taste of punishment in your criticism of a physical defect, not in a peer of the opposite sex attracted to you in a negative feedback from one of your public display of quality, the charge of be good at anything, an insult unpunished is inflicted on you by your own similar or higher, not to earn the position of pack leader of a group.Trauma on trauma experience hidden behind common and less common. Evidently, for instance, who in a community is considered the worst media will have more opportunities to experience the bitterness of a punch in the stomach in a brazen ego "You're ugly!" Trauma of a life can be more problematic than the average more humble the ego to put in a position to suggest you're different, unique in some way better (misunderstood genius) or worse ("I'm a nobody!").To speak in this way is somewhat risky: you can sin of superficiality too uniting the many facets of the traumatic experience of man.However, not wanting to simulate a treatise on psychology, it is undeniable experience of all the suffering deep wounds to the ego and emotions that will shape choices throughout their lives, when they come, the battlefield of life, a warrior with armor strong, armed with a sharp sword and the skill Counterattack: self-centeredness.Let's be honest a good time to ask ourselves until our vocations cultural, professional, emotional and our whole being is really coherent and justified only by the sincere passion, or rather also conditioned by a sense of revenge in wanting to reaffirm socialthemselves in a world that has put us in second place.Until, behind your dreams, no hidden regaining the glory that you deserve and that competition in a world of enemies you ripped?Since when, after you express an opinion in a discussion, not a hidden desire an end in itself to astonish the others that goes beyond the objective of confronting the sincere search for truth, a desire to show off regardless of the truth, to the point of trample .Until, behind your complaints of a life sacrificed, behind your impeccable honesty or no education lies the need to get respect from others?Until all the circles behind the ego regains lost?What are the consequences of living a self-centered? Allow me, there are many, often disastrous, including anxiety still do not feel satisfied after reaching your destination, if you succeed there, or the distortion of reality, which only seems to rotate around you, or seems to take playing you like a mischievous tyrant, or not being able to enter into life experiencing it as it is, with impartiality, but they suffer pathetically like a dream opaque veiled troubles continue, bitterness and hardship expenses trying to buy at a price that, in Actually, maybe you do not ever give thee!Not to mention yet of the damage done to the other, at the bottom, we're talking about consistent view of selfishness and I think only of your talk of discontent!Yes, because everything in the meantime, you become selfish.What is selfishness? Certainly it is a mindset that distorts the reality it is not possible that every time that you persecutes someone complaining of impropriety or economic wrongs to human, you've always right, others are always wrong. Never debate with someone on his behalf and your disadvantage ... ever! You can be the only one in the world to be right? Of course, if you are selfish, because morphine selfishness distorts perceptions of life and you just can not see it as it really is."Blind", "You do not see", "you have a beam in the eye" ... the words of Jesus of Nazareth want to report this way of life.
