Money and Ideology…
I was taking a little bit of relax after too many hours in the office, I was thinking about everything and nothing, I was thinking about my absurd idea to write in english, I was thinking about the life. I was lost, seraching myself in some web pages like I would like to hide the world we are living from my eyes. I was searching for some voices that was screaming like mine, tired to be alone in the dark.
I stopped myself in the web site of an editor, lost in the dream of the neverendig book I’m writing (still 200 pages, none in three weeks) and of the money I should get for this Best Seller (ha ha ha). Suddenly I was redirected to the blog of Beppe Grillo and I read a phrase that hit me like a truck at 180 km/h:
“Se io ho un euro e tu hai un euro e ce li scambiamo, alla fine restiamo con un euro ciascuno. Ma se io ho un’idea e tu un’altra idea e ce le scambiamo, alla fine ci troveremo con due idee ciascuno!”
that means:
“If I have an euro and you have an euro and we exchange it, in the end we will remain with an euro each. But if I have an Idea and you have another idea and we exchange it, in the end we will find with two ideas each!”
…
Deep.
So, I think that my book, if it will ever see the light, the Creative Commons will be a good solution. I’ll never get millionaire, but my ideology, my philosophy will never be sold for a bunch of euro!
BTW: if you understand italian, take a look to Beppe Grillo, he tells a lot on interesting things!
BTW(2): He will sell the DVD of his show for 10€… I’ll buy it!
