I write a new friend, Denis, and asks me (Take example, people write and asked): "Francesco ... Today, in 2010, as the world you're living disability? In your opinion, what did not young people understand us? "
Dear Denis, now live the world of disabilities exactly as I have always lived. In the meetings that I hold (with schools, citizenship, etc.) this is usually one of the first (indeed , certainly the first ...) arguments that crop up. Obviously. Let's say I live almost outside the world of disability, to be honest sometimes I feel almost part of it. Maybe because I feel "too normal", nor disabled nor a disability, or any other term of crap could have been invented to date. Maybe because I find it absurd to consider "more than" just because the other one has his ass in a wheelchair, in a material world where everything is fundamentally different. Yet among "people like me" (we understand each other ...) are "abnormal", a "different between the various" so to speak. Disabled people are often those emphasizing and stressing over all their "diversity" ... Who tend to want to put them in a circulating. My concepts, what I think I understand about this, I can make them much easier to understand a so-called "healthy" rather than my own, so to speak, "appears" (how many quotes in this article, quotes for you imply. How I do not have to write in 2010, this post. How I wish there was no need to use quotation marks). At the beginning I do not capacitive like this thing could happen, it was absurd. For me, in a wheelchair, was and is so natural not to feel "more different" than those who do not is that I could not understand how the others did not share that idea. Then I thought, and I found the answer. They have not had an extraordinary family like mine! Let's start with a principle: every being, in principle, arises in relation to other companies and how his family was placed before him. Attention, affection has nothing to do here ... Love ... O Good. A person may also want you all to the good of this world, but can have certain behaviors that kill your soul. I definitely have had two parents who I have always wanted very well, but what made me "strong" was their regard me as a person, a child is both normal and equal to all others. I have always done the same life that led them, I have created an ad hoc life easier or more comfortable. They are not the big things that make up a personality, but little details. Do you feel when someone does not arise with you in a natural and spontaneous, I personally have developed the ability to immediately realizing it. Here, my parents have always put me in a natural and spontaneous, as with any child (and, as a child, I have always been driven to seek what I would have liked to do and be in life, which were my talents, experiencing as much as possible ... And now here I am an artist). Among my friends "bodywork" I have not noticed, unfortunately, the same path. I have some dear friends, the children of rich people, who were certainly more than I do from a material point of view (equipment, technology etc.), had everything one might need a wheelchair. These guys, however, fail to relate in a practical and free those who do not live with their own condition. They think that those who are not in a wheelchair can not and / or able to understand them. Well, this is a mechanism that is often triggered in the mind of mankind. It 's normal, but it is wrong. In life domains, such as mentioned above, the Diversity. Even in Diversity award choices, choose what is certainly different from us produce the best results. Unite people with similar problems often leads to phenomena such as self-pity, or the worsening of the worst sides of their "edge". Merging, however, people with roots fundamentally "different" create a kind of compensation joints. The shortcomings are overcome by a second, and vice versa. This thing I've noticed a lot in my relationship with young people, but to talk about this later when I will answer the second question of Denis. Why, people with disabilities, this triggered a strong mechanism of self-exclusion? Why families who have behind them, from childhood, they have become accustomed to frequent places and people that existed exclusively something inherent in their "diversity" ... Like almost get used to want to deal with their "similar". My family, for instance, has ever made me see, even from afar, a center for any "poor unfortunate children." I have always lived with others, among others. 100%. This led me to have no veils before our eyes, not to feel inhabitant of a "parallel world". The fault, however, is not even their families. I'll put yourself in their shoes, and I understand. In life you always do the "around 8", put yourself in the shoes of others? Here ... If I put myself on the side of a family that suddenly finds itself the "surprise", something that has never had to do and perhaps almost even heard of, who nevertheless chose not to make abortion (and There are not many, unfortunately ...), I say it is normal that they go to seek answers in the Company. And therein lies the problem, my dear Denis, here surrenders to the heart of your question: "Today, in 2010, as you're living the world of disability?". I, personally, fine. I live a completely normal life, got married, I do not miss anything ... I do not feel different because in a wheelchair, I feel rather unique (all, each one of us is unique) for some of my special (being in a wheelchair is one of them, but is neither the first nor, even more important). All this, however, because I am. Francesco Canale, aka Soul Blu . With all that behind me (family, etc., etc.). In the world not all, however, have been so lucky. And then the question must turn it over to Denis for all those who go to seek answers in the Company: "Today, in 2010, the Company is experiencing the world as a disability?". Evil, in my opinion. Very bad. He lives not only hurt the disability, but all the diversity in general. We live in a society that wants to pretend that diversity does not exist, he wants to forget people that we are all different. This is serious, it's crazy. Diversity is life itself. Going against the Diversity means, therefore, go against life itself. The society in which we live, then, is basically "against life" (some would say, gently, stoned to those Catholics who do not have any way to abortion and no screaming madly in love while Capitalism?). We start from a premise: there is something in man which leads him to reject Diversity. Always. It 's a mechanism that has existed since the world. In all of the companies prior to our Diversity has always been considered mange, divine punishment, curse, always never a problem and a resource. How many wars have been made and today we are against Diversity (even if there is to say, Man is great to cover its vested interests masquerading as ... semblance of concepts). The point, however, is exactly that: a time certain attitudes could be justified by attributing them to ignorance, lack of education, still being "too brutal". Today, instead? Today everyone is saying loudly that diversity is not a problem, that we support the diversity (the idiocy of this sentence: You must be in favor of something that belongs to you? Do you support yourself?), Which does not marginalize but rather integrate. Bales. All bales, coated of respectability. We "pretend" to be civilized ones, those who do not have problems to deal with life. But no. Only that we are smart, we found a way to "clean" and "politically correct" to get rid of Diversity. Or rather, try to get rid of (the diversity is everywhere, the more the more you choke out ... like a volcano!). We invented capitalism. Yeah. We have not invented mainly for this purpose: basically serves to enrich the few, fucking everyone else in the illusion of one day make them rich. It 'clear, however, that to make a few rich can not be a World of "different." The mechanism would not work. Choke Diversity becomes at the same time, the need and virtues. We have created an idea "shared" to "normality", where normal is the one who produces. In any event, the important thing is that it produces. Not a person, not soul, not essence, but a mere freshman. Whoever comes out from this pattern is basically a "different", a problem to be eliminated. Who does not produce or does not adapt, is included in a group of people made all like him. It must be so, it can be done differently. If the "other" were living free in the Company would become the "Loose Cannons", as suggested by the title of the latest film by Ferzan Ozpetek. Disability, therefore, undergoes the same treatment. Disability in Society in 2010 can hardly be seen, it's all grouped into small circular sad. Just like the one in 800 of 500, and so on. On television, you rarely see a disabled person (except in some Catholic transmission that is the subject of the poor "unfortunate" that God loves so much, or when Bruno Vespa is organizing the "theme night" and invited 500 people with disabilities at once), and this helps to ensure that when a person crosses the street in a wheelchair remains thrilled (homosexuality, for example, is a much more integrated diversity ... because TV is very easy to see a gay man, even if the homosexual is often " exploited "because it makes you smile ... A bit like the minstrels of yore). A person "disabled" in a company where you always make it to 500%, is unlikely to work (the list, as well as being something really sad, not even work). In short, there are many problems. It often ends like this: my sister works in a nursing home, and recently told me of a boy of 30 years, suffering from muscular dystrophy, which has only ever lived with his mother, has never developed as a person .. . Now that the mother became elderly and the dependent child, having no other, ended with her in a nursing home ... At 30 years!? I find it crazy, and m'indigno deeply. This is our Company, a company that does not show for Italian families with a disability "winner" (who like me getting married, working, living a normal life in other words) but instead takes them to certain places, thoughts, ways of acting and ask, concerns. Oh yes, because if a child with "problems" can not create a normal life, the greatest concern of parents becomes, in a very selfish society, inter alia, what will happen to him one day that they will disappear. So arise Onlus "After us," like mushrooms. These non-profit organization often calls me for my artistic activities (one just last week), I go, I try to send something but I can assure you that the environments the most difficult of all, difficult parts to incorporate certain concepts as "different" and "new." The Company incorrectly influence families, families to turn their children, and children will eventually hurt themselves and influence their choices. It 's a vicious mechanism, we must break it. We must break because it suffocates the soul of people who, like all the other (neither more nor less), would have much to say and give to the world ... Dried up and die instead of themselves, and this is unacceptable for a society as advanced and civilized as he likes to be called that today in 2010.
We come to the second question to Denis: "In your opinion, what they did not understand the younger than us? ". Well, except that I do not know what they should understand us as" disabled. "That is, returning to the earlier remarks we are all different and each person, wheelchair or not, is unique. We must always relate to a 1, trying to figure out who you are facing. Those who are in a wheelchair I'm not all equal, everyone has a way to think, act, relate, has its taste. Think of trying to understand who they are All who live in a wheelchair is stupid, as well as unthinkable. Well, perhaps what is not understood (but why no one ever showed it to him, for no other reason) is that the "values" that the Company shall have the fake and passengers ... physical beauty, success, money, the apparatus instead of the Being. The true values, with a capital, certainly helping and encouraging acceptance of diversity. I think, because I tried it on my skin, that young people are most ready and willing to accept new concepts and "different." I have always lived among them and I never had any major problems, the contrary. Today, when I go talk to them in meetings that I hold, I get a lot. The problem is that the new generations have resigned, discouraged, dazed by all that the world's throw him and by the approval that the company tends to love him sew over. They like a veil before his eyes. Just recently, however, for dropping the veil, falls very more easily than an adult. Young people, I am convinced, would have no problem accepting the diversity if only someone would put it to him next. Young people love the diversity, seek it, precisely because they are still at an age when (thankfully) looking for themselves and their differences / uniqueness (procedure, this, that adults often do not nourish and sometimes even choke). I mentioned earlier in my relationship with young people, different problems and unity. Yes, for me it was just like that and the beauty is that it all happened so naturally and spontaneously. At school I always tried to do without a support teacher (this figure, often, if not is well used creates a wall between the boy and his companions), because I wanted to give me your hand the class. Usually, when I needed the first one stood up and came to help me out was called a "tough guy" ... Those that go bad in school, who come from dysfunctional family situations, what I affectionately called "pedal pushers". Irreparably, then we became friends because he was born a kind of spiritual and physical consistency: they gave a hand to me from a practical point of view, and I listen to them I was also trying to give him good advice. You see, dear friends, dear Denis, Diversity as always check out: the limits of one are offset by the ability the other, and vice versa. How should always be among good friends. Well, we arrived at the conclusion of this article. But I wanted to point out, many of you already know this, which strongly criticizes the company and, at first glance it may seem that I generalize too much or of indifference. It 'obvious that there is much good in society, some good ideas to start with (the young, for example) ... Diversity I wanted to emphasize, however, that, contrary to what may seem, we are still far behind. All of us engage, then. I say this especially to the most "different" (I feel a little like an idiot having to write such things): Do not resign yourself to live a mediocre life, not think that you can not live a normal life, do not stop those who are closest to you ... Go beyond, look beyond ... Outside your little horizon. There is a whole humanity, made especially for young people, just waiting to be educated and to know that the Society in 2010 often hides. Hugs to all, equal and different. Blue Soul
