Today we went a little bit around and i managed to see better the geography of this place.
Seeing the beautiful valleys and hills of Kurdistan made me miss and think about my own country.
While i was still in Italy i never managed to appreciate fully the beauty of the mountains and the forests around my village. But because i grow up with them around me, I was surely deeply influenced by them, even if only in a subconscious way.
And this is not only for me, everyone character and personality is (in different measures) shaped by the geography of the place in which they grew up.
Now that (i think) my sensibility for this kind of stuff is a little bit more mature, i came to the conclusion that i want to spend more time, to appreciate and explore those mountains. I always observed them everyday but without much attention. Probably, by feeling for the first time to be so far away from them, i started to understand how much they are important to me.
As humans we have a deep connection with nature, this is connection is deep rooted in our genetic memory, and when we observe the history of humankind, we can see that this connection formed the basic of human society for the majority of its presence on the planet.
The actual disconnection from nature is one of the many harmful conditions that capitalist modernity force on the human.
If you are born in a city, your life start alredy in misery, if you are born in the countryside eventually you'll be forced to leave your village, or in certain cases, to even leave you country. All this pain and psychological trauma in order to "survive" (the survival in capitalist modernity is essentially being able to sustain yourself economically).
This survival also implies that you take part inside the system of wage labor, with its boredom and indignity, and so, your life continues, in a constant cycle of insecurity and moral deprivation. A human put in those conditions, aware or unaware of its illness, tries to find liberation or happiness inside the system, but it's soon clear that is false liberation and manufactured or harmful happiness. It would be clear for an external observer that is nonsensical to find liberation inside the borders of the same system that put the chains around your body, but for the human inside the leviathan is extremely difficult to see or to even understand a life out of it.
