Introduction
This work is dedicated to all citizens and politicians of good will. Not only in South Tyrol.
We have said that without the roots do not we build the future, without a collective identity that life has no sense that the act to remove the crucifix in public places is an insult to each of you, even before to God that everyone should be proud of their homeland / Heimat, and is required to love their own language. All this must be done regardless. A little 'as the Tablets of the Law donated by Jehovah to Moses at Sinai: "I am the Lord your God .. Non avere altri dèi di fronte a me. Non ti farai idolo né immagine... Non ti prostrerai davanti a quelle cose...ecc.” I Comandamenti sono stati debitamente aggiornati e la loro osservanza è dovuta. È curioso che l’unico animale terrestre nato per essere libero abbia trascorso la sua storia escogitando ogni possibile mezzo e metodo per ingabbiarsi. Eppure, per noi umani, non esiste a questo mondo nulla di inevitabile, tranne la morte. Geni, ambienti familiari, culture, lingue, estrazione sociale, ecc. non programmano la nostra esistenza. È estremamente facile provarlo. Prendete i celebri gemelli siamesi Chang e Eng. Nati da una famiglia cinese che viveva nei pressi di Bangkok, vennero scorti da un medico inglese mentre facevano il bagno in the River. Shocked and scared in front of a human being twofold, the doctor paid the family and the King of Siam (now Thailand) to bring them home with him. All the specialists consulted reported that it was impossible to separate them surgically without causing the death of at least one of, if not both. The twins, once they have become two of the Barnum circus freaks, they retired to a farm with their two wives and 22 children. There ended their days. Their gene was almost identical, as well as the environment in which they grew up, but the personality of Chang and Eng could not be more different. Chang, the smaller of the two, dominated the of greater stature, Eng, and was extremely moody and irascible. Eng was rather good-natured, jovial and slightly submissive. Because of these differences when, as children, they punched and then, as adults, they voted for two rival candidates. Chang rose much elbow and this affected the health of both and the worst thing when, in the summer of 1870, had a heart attack that rendered invalid both he and Eng, although the latter's heart was healthy. Nearly four years after Chang and Eng died, he was still fit as a fiddle, he was so upset by the event to go off two hours later.
Beyond dell'aneddoto, biology teaches that every organism is a product of exquisite and unique interaction of genes with the environment at every moment of life of each person. For population geneticists, if there is to do a subdivision of the human species, the only significant distinction is that between individuals. Neurological studies show that no two brains are identical, even between identical twins, because the microscopic variations of each brain are enormous. Similarly, the fingerprints of identical twins are distinct and individual. Finally, linguists have concluded that the words and phrases in their structure and meaning, have a story that varies depending on the experience and context of each person. In short, the empirical evidence demolishes all essentialize and attempt to deny the extraordinary diversity of the human in its many expressions, that is its charm and beauty.
So how do you know that "this is natural" and "natural one" wrong. The only "natural" for a human being is to differentiate themselves from others, to mature in his ways and his times, brought about by his own attitudes, values \u200b\u200band aspirations. The rest are superstitions, a set of prejudices that are asserted on the basis of ethnic, religious, historical, cultural. Travelling and living elsewhere, many have realized that you are born in a place by chance, without any merit, and that everyone is entitled to a horizon open and not locked into a narrow valley of the desires and psychological needs of previous generations.
Our intention is not to unify the entire landscape of identity in South Tyrol. The movements of identity, of whatever kind they are, are always very diverse. There are fanatics and bigots in good faith that eventually marginalize themselves and there are sensible and conscientious people who are striving to meet real needs and legitimate. Our hope is that each resident of the Province of Bolzano is enabled to be free to choose who and what he wants to be free to be authentic, not to deny himself, his conscience, his integrity as an individual. Our is an invitation to look around with new eyes, to urge their own and others' thoughts, to dream and design a corner of the world in which we can be free, independent and responsible. A place where the voice of the tribes never dominates the conscience.
