È bello poterlo immaginare seduto con le gambe incrociate, la schiena dritta. La barba lunga e bianca, i capelli legati. I vestiti candidi, che fanno un tutt’uno con l’uomo. Un mantello rosso gli copre le spalle, mentre sorseggia il tè, appena preparato nella sua piccola “gompa” costruita sull’Appennino Tosco-Emiliano. A Orsigna, piccolo paesino in provincia di Pistoia; il suo Himalaya.
Una terra ricca di colori, odori e spiritualità.
Sono sei anni che Tiziano Terzani ha lasciato il suo corpo, come amava dire. Ed è in periodi di crisi come quelli we are living that feels more miss him. A journalist
"sui generis" tireless traveler. Reporter, photographer, and the discovery of cancer, a different man, again, able to think with a few simple words.
Titian was that and more. Impossible to define, impossible to pin down. Also surprising, engaging, exciting
But despite today there is more to us young people, we have not yet passed the threshold of the "door", aspiring journalists or not, has left an immense wealth of lessons.
journalism was a mission for Terzani. "A religious mission, if you want, not giving in to easy traps. The easiest is Power. Because power corrupts, power engulfs you, you pull the power within him! Do you understand? If you sit next to a presidential candidate in an election campaign, if you go to dinner with him and talk to him become his stooge, right? One of its traders. I never liked it. My instinct has always been to stay away. Just stay away, but today I see many young people who have that flower idea of \u200b\u200bbeing close to power, to give the "you" to power, to go to bed with the power, to go to dinner with the power to draw shine, glory, maybe information. I've never done this do not. You can also call a form of morality. I've always had this sense of pride that I was in power in the face, watched him and sent him to fuck. I opened the door, put my foot, I walked in, but when I was in his room, but to please check what was wrong, did the questions. This is journalism. " A concept that, today more than ever, must be taken up by journalists or aspiring.
But Titian not only information was involved. The discovery of cancer has led to a path unusual, unexpected. Perhaps considered a little 'crazy' for us in the West, related to our earnings, our home, everything around us: the materiality. He spent months in the Himalayas. Without none at her side. In search of himself.
And this has resulted in a different Terzani, new, "spiritual." Many are the lessons that we young people can draw from his words.
the strength and difficulties of life: "when you're at a crossroads and find a road that goes up and going down, takes what goes up. It's easier to go downhill, but eventually you find yourself in a hole. A rise is no more hope. It is difficult, is another way of seeing things, is a challenge, it keeps you alert. " To serenity and inner peace: "Watch a blade of grass in the wind and feel like him. You will also anger. " A pacifist
far from utopia, but a dreamer and confident: "I liked to think that humanity's problems could be solved one day by a conspiracy of poets: a small group is preparing to take the destiny of the world only because of the poets now, only of people leaving the heart to fly, that allows freedom of their imagination without the heaviness of everyday life, is able to think differently. And it is this that we need today to think differently. "
is the largest teaching that has left us. "To think otherwise," does not comply with the unbridled consumerism of an economy that attempts to flatten everything and everyone. And
perhaps this is why this great journalist is much appreciated by young people. Why do they see in him, we see something different, I urge us to change ourselves and others, to seek a world, a life, better. Hare
Titian.
