An elderly woman looks indignant four students on the bus. Steps that none of them has risen to cede the place - who does it more now? - But the vulgarity just cannot accept it. The swearing of the girls has exceeded any reasonable limit. They are a poison factory: profanity, obscenity and coarse laughter. The woman takes up with firm kindness. The girls set the incredulous, resentful. One of them hits it with an insult of unprecedented violence "Peace p. .....!". The woman is injured. No one dares to speak in his defense. That's how it works in a world that has become aggressive as well as foul. Vulgarity has prevailed in every field and good education has gone to hell. We are surrounded by vulgar people and the paradox is that the vulgarity rewards. On television, first of all, where you have to be vulgar to be successful. Oscar Wilde suggested, "if you say something that offends no one, did not say anything." Got it? In politics, where ideas matter as the two of spades and must be noticed for the opponent to cover injuries, bite him with the ardor of a pit-bull. Film and culture, where presumably a touch of vulgarity is essential to great art, as some argue pseudocritici. In everyday life, where epithets and middle finger pointing upwards replaced the calm and logical arguments. It can not be more polite discussion, the maximum you duel slashes vaffa. And never mind the vulgarity of the young and newly rich. The first makes us pessimistic about the future of the country. For another, the guys are like the wax, what are you still impressed. The second justification for the anger of those who would set fire to this company with no style. The anger, mind you, not the blind madness. People used to say "gentlemen born". Resign ourselves, that time is gone, we are in the age of Briatore and Fabrizio Corona. The so-called progress has swept away the last good manners and honest. We were able to industrialize the production of radioactive waste and verbal behavior. But because we have become so vulgar and rude? What led to the barbarism of the costumes, the descent into the underworld of thought vulgar and uncivilized action? It is difficult to answer in a few lines but hazard a guess: we squandered a wealth of healthy age-old linguistic conventions, style and behavior as a result of wrong choices, alienating. We have forsaken the right way that the "old" they pointed kindly to wander in the dark wood of the false moral progress dictated by bad teachers. The men lost their compass, they believe they are free to reject the rules of living common, when in fact they are slaves of new rules: those of a neoconformismo nihilistic. The pivot on which turned the company has always respected. But if this pin breaks, the company broke. Our company is the Titanic sinking due to the impact with the iceberg malacreanza daughter of a loss of respect and sense of shame. What to do? To stand with folded hands or groped, like the elderly woman on the bus, to take back those who make mistakes? I suggest an antidote that can make us immune. Disarm the common people with good manners, which are now the true nonconformist, the real transgression. But do not abandon attempts to fix with a look worthy of Oloforne. Burn 'em alive with the fire of our blame silent but pervasive. Let's do it felt empty, stupid, inferior. We avoid confrontation, though. Lose. The word is a boomerang, the silence an arrow. Let's oppose the vulgarity of mind with the gentleness of the friendly people.
