Every day countless people die worldwide. Most of these are ignored by us. Some are known from the pages of newspapers or on television and remain in our memories for a few seconds, the time to run out of news, which now leaves us indifferent, a few touches us personally and our dearest affections, the our intimacy, our life. These days
a death, disappearance, affects us all personally, as human beings, belonging to a humanity that persists still proudly called civilized.
I am referring to the death of Sarah Scazzi, the teenager killed by his uncle, perhaps, perhaps by her cousin, perhaps by others who knew and remained silent, they know and are silent.
Faithful to the use of Cesare Beccaria "perhaps" because everyone is innocent until he is discharged with absolute certainty of guilt.
But this is not what interests me now. What strikes me and confuses me is that our life, our lives proceeds exactly equal to the first, exactly on the same track after a teenage girl, little more than a child was killed, drawn in a premeditated ambush, while ignorant thought of going to the seaside with her cousin and a friend and perhaps, perhaps forever, the crime is completed in ' context of his own family.
upsets me the indifference with which we welcome and make some news, indifference, broken only by the morbid curiosity of those who go on a trip on Sunday at the crime scene to see, to touch, out of curiosity, to photograph, for steal some comments.
Perhaps this collective indifference, this horrible and morbid curiosity scares me more of the same crime, because if the evil certain facts exist and causes horrendous, even more evil is the indifference of those who attend these events directly or indirectly, and does nothing, or worse acts satisfy their greed of curiosity.
But perhaps, outside the family, a person truly saddened by the death of Sarah's, perhaps still do not know, perhaps not yet realized that Sarah is dead and not coming back, maybe still is waiting confidently.
is called Lightning. It 'a stray dog, a dog that Sarah had taken some time as it follows her everywhere and that accompanies the soon saw her leave the house and that certainly has also accompanied the tragic afternoon when he thought of going to the Sarah sea, went instead to his death.
And Lightning remained there, in front of that brown gate that we all have seen, there is by now familiar, that Sarah has passed through that gate to be alive and who is no longer out, alive.
And Lightning unaware of what happened to her in there Sarah remained waiting for her, convinced that sooner or later, Sarah would pop back to stroke and to let accompany. With this hope
Lightning has been there even when they appeared in front of that cncello cameras, investigators, volunteers who were trying Sarah everywhere, and perhaps wondered why so much fuss of unusual and disturbing.
could not understand, could not imagine. He only knew that Sarah had gone there and from there he would have to go out and look forward to.
Many will have noticed this stray dog \u200b\u200bwandering around, Gurd, fix the damn gate brown, without missing a moment, because from there would have to leave Sarah to stroke again, but no one has noticed, no one has understood.
Poor Sarah, poor Saetta, maybe one day you will understand that Sarah will no longer caressing, or perhaps not, perhaps true as you are, continue to wait so late in asking why, why is not there, but always confident that you'll caress as to reappear forever.
Dear Lightning, you're not the first and the last six in your faithfulness. One of your famous brother, who was given a book and a movie, Hachiko, Japan, has waited years for his master to the station that he returned by train and another here in Italy even your brother deserved the honor of a monument, still in a station, where for years he waited in vain for his master to come down from that railroad train which always used to go down, before he died. Dear Lightning
perhaps nature has been kind to you and wanted to reward you for your kindness and your loyalty is not allowing you to understand the language of humans and thus preventing the know, by their words, the truth, to learn from them Sarah is not coming back killed from the hands of one of them, that because one of them, Sarah can no longer caress and you do not accompany the more you as always.
Maybe it's better that way, because that way you can continue to hope to see you reappear on that gate, where the left and you will not stop loving human beings, as they deserve.
