In the world where everything is frenetic, nonstop, in which the trains are always faster and run the news as the light from the tablet pc someone says enough.
Monday, February 28 is celebrated on the fifth World Day of Slowness. From Milan to New York from Rome to Shanghai, the entire planet for twenty four hours will go a bit 'slower. Inspired by the "downshifting" of Jórrgen Larsson ("philosophy of slow") is an invitation to leave aside the quantity to quality and, therefore, to rediscover the importance of tradition, of pleasure and calm.
course, philosophy and good will are not enough to distort and 'fix' the rhythms of life and work more and more frantic, but will at least make people think, that will one day return to being masters of their own time.
E 'an expression that comes from Pavia Contigiani Bruno and his non-profit organization "The Art of Living with Slow."
The goal? Think of the economic damage, environmental, social and cultural life at breakneck speed.
The idea in a few years has been a global consensus because that is the slow movement whose ranks swells each day. On the other hand is slow and speed up a pair that have already questioned the ancients. In the fable-
paradox of Achilles and the tortoise Zeno argued that Achilles could never fast to reach the slow turtle because he had to perform every time the path in its infinite parts: half, half by half, and so on. Then again, according to Plato, the true philosopher must stop, sit down and begin to meditate because it is only in this form of stillness you can think of.
Conventional wisdom has taken up into the "who goes Slow and steady wins the race," the sociologist Domenico De Masi has instead coined the term "creative idleness."
A redemption in the face of negative connotations (the father of vice), which had in time. In Italy more than in northern Europe.
As noted by Philippe Daverio, host of a conference organized by Ismo, "the seven deadly sins are different for a country and for us. Laziness was a grave sin for a Benedictine Monaco, and was for a Northern healthy well-earned rest after the battle. " And so, to remain in Italy, frenetic and often alienating the hard work of Milan is in contrast to the sweet life in Rome, even before the day of slowness.
For this 2011 edition Milan has even decided to play on time and has brought forward the date to Saturday, February 26.
Slow means awareness and attention to the 'here and now'. How to enjoy the flavor of life, caring for others and the environment around us. Finding time for reflection and spirituality.
A real life style started at the table with Slow Food by Carlo Petrini (which currently has 40 thousand members in Italy and more than 80 thousand in the world), but then was expanded to include more segments of life wide. From the relationship with food for work, sex at the way we travel, through the education of children, the people who chose to go slowly becomes more and more numerous.
In "Enough" (Chiarelettere,) Simone Perotti offers a change of life net, towards themselves, the world around us, customs, duties, consumption: the revolution have to get her away from us, taking up our lives to be free at last.
But the slow philosophy applies not only individual universe.
There are many sectors of society and public life overload and plaster, which would need to 'simplify', to quote the minister Calderoli.
From bureaucracy flooded by endless practices and processes to justice without end, from traffic congestion to the frenzy to work, where non-maximum efficiency is crushed by the mechanism. Yet, in economics it would, paradoxically, more speed, not in human relations and quality of time spent in the office, but the equipment available to workers. If Italy would invest in technology, then yes you should be faster, sending both lenses.
situations that seem impossible to change? No. "Another road there." To ensure and Stefano Bartolini, Professor of Political Economy and Social Economics at the University of Siena, author of the "Manifesto of happiness": getting from companies that have well-the well-being. "
"Another way - he explains - which allows you to combine economic prosperity with a more humane society, happier, less hurried, less dangerous for the environment."
by the "The Art of Living with Slow" here are the 14 commandments lenses to find the right speed in life:
1) wake up 5 minutes earlier than usual to shave , make-up or having breakfast without hurry and with a bit of fun.
2) If we are in the queue in traffic or at a supermarket checkout, let us not get angry and use this time to plan mentally or evening for a chat with the nearby trolley.
3) If you go into a bar for a coffee, remember to greet the bartender, enjoy coffee and risalutare bartender and cashier at the time of (this rule applies to all shops, offices and even in lift)
4) Write short messages without symbols or abbreviations, perhaps starting with dear oh dear ...
5) When possible, avoid doing two things at once as a call and write to your computer ... if not you could become rude, inaccurate and approximate.
6) Do not include us or our children to a school or a gym across town
7) Do not fill the agenda of our day's events, although pleasant, we learn to say a few No. and have moments of emptiness.
8) Do not take by force to do the shopping, of course your pantry will allow you to cook a good dinner from the first to dessert.
9) Although it may cost a little 'more, sometimes a visit to the store concediamoci doorstep, saving time and we'll be less stressed.
10) Let's take a walk, alone or in company, in a column instead of the usual restaurant car to get out of town.
11) read the evening papers, and continue to zap in front of the TV.
12) Avoid a few trips on weekends or during the long bridges, but enjoy your city, whatever that is.
13) If you have 15 days vacation, 10 dedicatene holiday and used the remaining decompression as pre or post holiday.
14) stop to keep repeating "I do not have time." The continue to do so will not make us some seem more important.
... 7 controls and slow-cooking in
1) The food is your first medicine: Hippocrates teaches ... crediamoci!
2) The poetry of the food begins when we go shopping: choosing seasonal ingredients and quality. If we want to diminish the amount saved: that is also an excellent choice to control cholesterol and weight.
3) E 'scientifically proven that water does not boil first if we continue to observe it: so no hurry appassioniamoci the preparation of our dinner and the appliance treatment table, a flower?
4) We use all our senses to enjoy the individual ingredients: sight, touch, smell, taste ... also heard (the noises they make a lot of home cooking and heat!).
5) enjoy every mouthful and every little sip of wine that, even if incompetent, we have chosen with love and care.
6) Avoid "two-in-one! If we eat do not call me call you if we do not eat.
7) Do not precipitiamoci ... cinema, the dishwasher, the finishing touches to your computer, etc.. expect. "
