Humanity is at a point of no return (Marco Emanuele)

Humanity is at a point of no return. Forgot the responsibility of living, we are individuals but not persons, protagonists of the historical degeneration that we have helped to create but that we can no longer control. Basically, it seems that we lack the tools to understand and to mediate the inhumane living in us.

The point of no return in which we find is what I call "the eternal present"; we lack the global dimension, both in time and in space, and globalization is far from global; indeed, it is only technocratic. The problem is in our no return in the worlds-of-life, in our choice of linear thinking which is our (certain) "cultural prison"; we continue to think in terms of friend-enemy, action-reaction, white-black, forgetting that history evolves in informalities, in transitions, in contradictions.

Reality is the key word; and be realistic means to be cooperative, not dominant. In absolutizing any human process, even positive ones, we risk to consolidate the totalitarian idea in inhumane triumphant; we do not understand that this risk, taken to the extreme, is the profound denial of our mysterious and transcendent complexity.
