March 8 - May 8, 2020 - Somewhere in Italy
They laid our lives in brackets!
Since tonight the Italian government ordered a total “lockdown."
Suddenly we are in a mandatory exile,
The world is suspended
We are all in chains
We are all guilty
Maybe we must pay the bill for recent limitless social behaviors…
#guilt #unbelief #fear #anxiety # love #attachment #joy #happiness
Our souls
Many cornucopias of paradoxical feelings
Right now we are like frozen… how can we go on?
What can we do?
What can we hope?
It is so heavy to carry on the loneliness…
We are social animals, not loner wolves
The meaning of human life is to relate each other
that is the meaning,
these are the roots of human society…
After this nightmare
we will come back to our lives,
maybe less wealthy, but more aware of the real values of existence.
The world needs us, the social workers, now more than before
We should be some of main characters of a new society!
We can go all together toward a more equal, democratic social organization, after this failure of capitalist paradigm.
We have many professional tools good to help our clients now more and more weak.
We are also ready to be part of the team that can address the humankind rehab toward more equality
after this silent war.
