Quantity or Quality

Some comments on last week's post about the GREAT Gabriele D'Annunzio, pushed me to give some clarification, to make understandable a cosmological background, for many impossible and unknown, but that for others may be clarified only a little.

Given that the "Cancel Culture", or the presumption that today's Zombies have in judging the GREAT personalities of the past, is simply an intellectual monstrosity. Again to clarify, there is no human being who has not made millions of mistakes although one of them, one day said: "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone". Perhaps it would be worth remembering.

Having said that, for the author (that is me), Life should not be based on Quantity but on Quality. To those who wrote that it is D'Annunzio's fault if thousands of people died, admitted and not granted that this is true, I'd like to reveal a magic arcane: those people would have died anyway. Many persist in not understanding the inevitability of death and that the meaning of life would not be to keep it away as much as possible but perhaps to take a journey that is worth doing and above all, dying "well" , for example not in a hospice or bed without the slightest independence. I've never met Gabriele D'Annunzio. I don't know if he was or wasn't someone I would have befriended or if we would have liked each other or whatever. I'll never know, of course. But for me he represents the archetype of a choice of life devoted both to the beauty of aesthetics and to the sublimity of the heroic gesture.

I appreciate that to many this is an incomprehensible speech. They are willing to ANYTHING in order to survive and this everything unfortunately includes the concept of not even starting to live. Personally I write and I wish to communicate only with the small group of people who have the presumption of wanting to live by Quality.
