Dear readers, this blog has been taken from my personal story that I wrote a few years ago, and since most things are the same and can repeat themselves, I am using this old story to point out what I am worried about today, because I am concerned. Now there is also something on the back of my mind, which I am saying it here for the first time, it is that humanity needs to find and suggest a way how the Muslims can be self disarmed.
Anyhow, we old people are concerned about what can happen, because we have seen nasty
things happen during our lives; therefore, we are looking for signs that can
tell us what can happen next. People must understand that we old people do this
because we fear for the worse, our own lives have taught us to be alert, to
prevent nasty things happening to us.
You see, old people are concerned for themselves, and other people as
well, so, they believe that their role is that they have to look at what is
happening in the world, and try to compare yesterday events to today
happenings, in the hope that they can see what can happen. This does not mean
that what they see will happen, but it can happen, therefore, they want to warn
the people about those concerns.
So, I am looking at the world today, and I don’t like
what I see, because what I see is uncertainty all around us. So, I think that
the world is going mad these days; I feel that humanity that was supposed to
know better in the 21st century, it is not doing what they are
supposed to do.
Some
of us think that we have reached the age of reason, but from what happens, I am
sure that we have not reached the age of reason; because the age of reason is
when people don’t make mistakes, and they have learned how to live peacefully,
with the people around them.
So,
what is wrong with humanity I would like to ask? You see, today when we look at
the news, it is impossible to avoid seeing the violent things that are
happening in the world. What hurts most is that humanity is doing this to
themselves, as if they don’t know better.
One of the bad news, is about the terrorist that seem to happen very
often. We know that the bad and violent news are reported more often than the
good news. Because the public needs to know what is happening. But really, we
are becoming tired of all these bad news, because most times they are so ugly
that one wants to switch off the TV, throw away the newspaper and turn off the
computer.
So, I have to say that as a human being my heart is crying, my heart is
crying because there are terrible things going on in the world today; so, I
believe that we must do something to stop this violence; if we cannot do
anything that can help, we need at least talk about it, in the hope of finding
a way out. Who knows somebody can come up with a solution?
What we are saying is this, the world is at war, but at the same time
there is no real-world war going on, of course, there are some real wars going
on, but not large enough to be called world wars, so, I am concerned for the
entire world, because these things can escalate. There are people that think that
this is the beginning of the third world war, some religious people say that
this is the beginning of the end of times, as it is written in the last book of
the Bible Revelation. But I don’t see it that way, however I am concerned.
Anyhow, I am concerned what is happening in the entire world, I am
concerned about this peaceful country of Australia, because it may not be
peaceful anymore, since we cannot avoid to be involved, and I am also concerned
about my native country Italy, because Italy is in the front line, you see,
there are thousands of illegal emigrants arriving to Italy continually.
I know for a fact that in Italy there have been many wars in the past, as
it has a long history about them, so, I fear that something can happen again. You
see, today there are a lot of refugees coming in. This might not seem important
to some people, but, the views of this old man are that, they seem to occupy
the whole country and the Italians are welcoming them, even when a lot of other
Italians are concerned.
Anyhow, I don’t see that this peaceful welcoming is going to last long,
because most regions of Italy are not rich, so, they cannot sustain all these
illegal emigrants; therefore, if this refugee’s problem that we are witnessing
today keeps going on, there can be another violent story that can unfold in the
future in these regions of Southern Italy, therefore, we wonder, if history is
going to repeat itself, so, we should be concerned what is happening.
--------------------------------------
Why we should be concerned.
We should be concerned, because there is this movement of people that can
be considered a Biblical Exodus. You know what I mean, the Jews left Egypt to
go to their Promised Land, in their way they had many problems, one of their
biggest problems was that they had to fight the people that were occupying
their Promised Land, so, in the process many people were killed. Now that is
one example of what happens when a large number of people move from one place
to another; of course, there are many more examples if we read our human
history, but I believe that I have explained my point of view.
If you follow my main point of view, we can say that today we need to be
concerned about what is happening; because what has happened in the past can
happen again, therefore, we must treat this refugee problem with caution.
Because history tells us to be concerned. Not only in Southern Italy, that
happen to be in the front line, but also in the entire continent of Europe, as
there are too many refugees that arrive from Africa, the Middle East and Asia,
so, I am concerned.
Some people say that today refugees is a worldwide problem, even if it is
a worldwide problem, I would like to tell my own country people that what I see
coming worries me. You see, today I am viewing all these happenings from the
land down-under here in Australia. Now because I am so far away, my point of
view can be different from what the people of Southern Italy are seeing in
their own country.
Now, to understand what I am worried about, it is necessary to know more
about this region of Southern Italy and the inhabitant that are living there.
You see this region is not rich, the only thing that it is going on there is
wheat farming, for those people that own enough land to do that, there is also
some mixed farming going on for their own use; there are a lot of small farms
that can sustain the native inhabitant only. We have also to say that there are
times when these small farms do not produce enough and people must leave the
farms and go to work somewhere else, even if they have to go to another
country. You see this is the main reason why I left our small family farm in
Southern Italy and migrated to Australia.
We know that a few things have changed since I left Italy, but if they
have changed it is not a great deal, so, the way of life over there is very
much the same as it was in the fifties when I was there. As you can see from
what I have said, this region of southern Italy cannot support any outside
people that want to come and stay there, and that is one of my concerns.
But as we have said, this can apply to several other regions of Italy and
indeed the entire world. We really have to think about what we need to do next,
so, whatever concerns I have for my native town of southern Italy and the
entire country of Italy, they are also concerns for the rest of the word and
above all the western world, since that is the place where these refugees are
moving to.
Now, these refugees believe that they are the only people that have got
problems, but even in Italy there are unsolved problems, which I am going to
point out here-under, just to explain my views. You see, Italy is overpopulated
already, if we compare the resources and capacity that Italy has, and that is
one of the main problems over there.
-----------------------------------
Italy position and population.
The Italian peninsula in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, this makes
it easy for the African refugees to come to Europe. We believe that this is the main
reason why so many illegal emigrants arrive in Italy every day, and sometime
even thousands of them can come in just one day, other times just a few, but it
is a problem that may never end, unless we of the western world are able to
find a solution. Any solution can help, but the best is that we must find a way
how to keep these refugees in their own countries of origin.
We know that it is not easy, because if that was the solution, it should
have taken place by now, but we must continue to see if the
refugees can be kept in their own original land. We know that this is almost
impossible, therefore, we are concerned about it, since it brings lots of other
problems.
We have reasons to believe that Italy cannot cope with this incoming of refugees for long. What is happening now is this, Italy accepts these refugees on humanitarian grounds, they even go to help them when they get in trouble in their overloaded boats on their way to Italy, but there are too many of them arriving every day; so, it is a never ending problem. Most of the western world is worried about these refugees; but we don’t know what to do to stop them.
Let me point out this to you briefly, since I have written the first part
of this article, there have been several terrorist attacks that involves
illegal emigrants and refugees, but that is not all; for instance, today on the
Italian news, we have seen the eternal city of Rome full of uncollected rubbish
in the streets. This is another problem that the refugees will produce, since
there are more people, there will be more rubbish. Now the rubbish can be
collected, but where to take this rubbish will be the problem of the
future.
Today I am editing this article, so, I can add other things that have
happened since last time I wrote this article. There has been an earthquake in
central Italy, where near three hundred people have died. At the same time, in
a few days about 15 thousand refugees have arrived in Italy. It is very warring,
therefore, I feel sad for the Italian people, since they have to cope with this
other disaster. So, in the world there are more problems to solve every day.
The Italian problem of today.
At the beginning of this article, we have talked about that there are
many illegal migrants in the world today; they are illegal migrant because they
forcefully go everywhere, even when they are not wanted. So, I must say that
when they do this forceful migrating, they can upset the way of life of the
people that are forced to receive them against their will. Anyhow, let us see
what the cause of this migration is, and then extend our search to what can be done
to avoid them, because I am worried that something nasty can happen in southern
Italy soon.
The causes of this illegal migration, it is that these refugees are in
search of a better life, there are many reasons for that, but above all it is
poverty. When poverty is bad people can even starve to death, now that is when
people are very poor, and they are forced to find a way how they can feed
themselves; here the rest of the world that are better off should try to help
them and there is no question about it.
But on the other hand, there are people that are not that poor, they want
more because they are greedy, they want to believe that the rest of the world
is better off than they are, therefore, they want to grab whatever the others
have, and this is the main problem that the entire world is facing today.
Anyhow, here we want to talk about the Italian problem, mainly because I
am an Italian that has emigrated from southern Italy; therefore, in this
article I want to talk about Italy and my native town and the surrounding towns
and countryside. So, we want to start imagining what can be like in the future
to live in southern Italy, in these towns with all these new migrants coming
in. But who are these emigrants we must ask and why they are migrating?
This is the main thing that worries me. These people that are arriving as
refugees in Italy and other parts of Europe, they look like that they can feed
themselves well, in their own country of origin. So, feeding themselves is not
the problem for these people. Therefore, what other problems they might have
one should ask?
Before we can answer that question, we want to define the sort of
refugees we are talking about here. There are at least two types of refugees,
the real refugees are those people that are forced to run away from a natural
disaster or war. The rest of them are not real refugees, they are illegal
emigrants that are looking for opportunities to live a better life.
Now, there is nothing wrong for people wanting to live a better life, if
the better life they are looking for is hard work, and this hard work is easily
available in the country they emigrate, but if they are looking for a better
life, because they believe that the people in the country they have emigrated
are better off, just because they have heard that in their country of origin,
then there will be great problems. This is the reason why I am concerned.
We can talk about other concerns that can affect Italy and the rest of
the world, but we have said enough to make our point. We hope that this problem can be solved soon.
