Platone nella sua VII epistola scrisse che la politica non si sarebbe liberata dai suoi mali “fino a che o non fossero giunti ai vertici del potere politico dei filosofi veri e schietti, o i governanti delle città non diventassero, per un destino divino, filosofi”.
Ora, se augurarsi l’avvento dei filosofi al potere è cosa quantomeno bizzarra in questi tempi di decadenza, forse, sarebbe utile almeno sperare che la politica passi da essere uno spazio governato dai parolieri ad uno spazio dominato da autentici costruttori.
La politica di oggi è quel luogo in cui la polemica regna sovrana, i personalismi incancreniscono tutto e il gossip più disgustoso entra nelle nostre case da radio, television and newspapers. This policy
from "reality show" is killing the intelligence, culture and any glimmer of hope: the horizon of political information is no longer able to lift his gaze over the sheets of some character because he can no longer conceive of a separation between "public" and "private."
But this is not just the problem: we have to stop with this unbearable kind of policy, all tactics and no ideas, which is drowning under a wave of mud.
We must recover the pure and spiritual dimension of the pre-political and cultural struggle.
We must jettison all those who swim in the boastful policy not only to drown in life.
Politics is not a profession, not a profession, not a hobby: political commitment is only and only one service. Until it returns to conceive of politics as a noble struggle between different ideas and values, the policy will be something pretty mediocre.
When the Catholic Church - through the wise words of Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone and Pope Benedict XVI - speaks of "morality" is not proposing a policy to be saints: simply, it would be nice that our destinies were decided by people who do not even have a vague familiarity with the concept of "limit". We must revive the concept
"limit" to create a better policy: all'indecenza limit, limit stupidity, ignorance limit.
is not too much to ask: has the right to ask. Let us strive to look a bit 'over the poor dell'applauso immediate horizon, by tomorrow at the heart of our land and our blood, knowing that, as Madame de Stael said, "anyone who provides for the future in politics arouses anger of those who do not conceive that the other day that passes. "
