Realism and life (Marco Emanuele)

In our way to "realism" we meet our habit to "imprison" the vital processes of reality into unrealistic "cages".

The so-called "sensitive issues", first of all love, must meet the political awareness of the respect of personal choices that are not debatable; love is love beyond our cultural or religious beliefs.

While we say that we want to put the human person (and every human person) at the center of the debate, it's "natural" for us to try to impose our "particular visions" about "sensitive issues" and not to welcome reality for what it is, judging "unnatural" what it does not belong to our cultural and religious legacies.

In the political vacuum that surrounds us, too often we lose the sense of a society that lives beyond laws and beliefs of those who have "power". Democratic systems must organize the coexistence but they can not decide the fate of freedom, self-determination and self-realization of the persons; democracy, to be democratic, must be at the service of the complexity of reality.

Politics must first "relativize" itself to become realistic.
