Excitement

It is very hazardous to call that which we do without excitement life.

Those who keep distances, search for a consensus through politically correct attitude and invoke respect for "good manners" as an ultimate weapon to disarm and destroy a colleague or adversary often experience excitement through the reassuring construction of standardized situations. Situations like a town festivity, the holiday ritual, common holidays, immerged in the comforting repetitiveness of common places, of dinners with the usual friends at the usual restaurants where they recognize you and you feel "at home". In

the repetitiveness of work, of contacts with the usual colleagues commenting time or lamenting about the lack of news. Tranquil

Sundays watching football games, sad Mondays back at work and then finally, Friday! 00070.jpg

Not to talk about fashions. Brunch, happy hour, coffeebreaks, that is continuous visits to fast food temples of banal

hedonism with the sole aim to fence in one´s own territory and protect it from “others” (people, news, places, acquaintances).
