An old man view of the world

Today there are too many illegal emigrants arriving in Southern Italy, it seems as if they are going to take over the entire country, if they continue to arrive in large numbers, as they are doing now. So for an Italian that has emigrated away from Italy for financial reasons is not easy to understand, so, I am worried that something sinister might happen over there; so I am writing my personal views about this issue.

An old man view of the world
Today world happenings
Dear readers, in our last post called, more history about Monteserico castle, we have been writing about some old history events that have happened in Southern Italy a very long time ago; most of those events were about wars and other dreadful happenings; now from what I have written there, it makes me feel as if history could repeat itself even today.
You see, I am an old man now and when I look at the world and see what is happening, I think that the world is going mad these days, just as mad and violent as it was in the past. I feel that the human race that was supposed to know how to behave these days, because we are supposed to have reached the age of reason does not know what to do in these hard times; so, what is wrong with humanity I would like to ask? Are we progressing towards a better life or are we just as bad as we were in the past?
Looking at the news on TV or reading the news on the Internet is almost impossible to avoid the terrorist news that is happening just about every day. I know that the news are news and most time the bad news are more important than the good news to tell the people, they are important because they have happened and the public needs to know that, but really we are becoming tired of all these bad news, because they are so ugly that one wants to switch off the TV and turn off the computer.
So, my dear readers, I wish that I could have been writing happy news, because that is what most of us would like to hear; instead I am stuck with these bad news that seem to surround us around. I have to say here that I feel within myself that my heart is crying my dear readers; My heart is crying because there are so many wrong things going on in the world today, so forgive me if I try to write what I see is wrong in the world and it is still going on, because I would like to say what I feel into my heart, while I am writing this article. You see by writing this article I might feel at least that I have tried to warn the people what I see could happen next, I would like to say a few things here, because there are very few people that say anything positive, or at least suggest anything positive about what is happening in the world today, so some discussions could become helpful to say the least, who knows somebody might come up with a solution, so let me write my painful article the best way I can, even if this article may not appeal to a large section of our readers, because these days readers like to read easy stuff and not this sort of article that is going to make them think about the world and what is happening.
As you will see from the following paragraph, this article is about the world present history that is just happening these days, so even though I have named this hub, an old man view of the world, this old man needs to attach this story to a particular region of the world, in order to make his story real. Now as it happens I have written a few articles about my native town of Genzano di Lucania and also about the second castle of this town called, the castle of Monteserico, which has a real history of its own, sense this castle was the castle of the Normans and Robert Guiscard duke of Southern Italy in the year 1047 or there about, it was also the castle of another famous person Fredrick ll that owned this castle around 12 centuries in Southern Italy.
We have to say here that the events and wars in those past times were very violent, so there have been some violent happenings around this castle. Today again history is taking its course and something might happen again around these regions of Southern Italy, because there are so many illegal emigrant coming in, and the view of this old man that is writing this article is that: they seem to occupy the whole country and we Italians are letting them in and welcoming them with open arms, but I don’t see that this is going to last long, because most regions of Italy are not rich and will not be able to sustain all these emigrants, so if this event that we are witnessing now, is going to continue for a long time, there will be another violent story that could soon unfold in the future, we just wonder, if history is going to repeat itself again. Because there are sign that that could happen in the future; of course we hope it doesn’t, but there is a possible risk that it could happen.
Dear readers, here I would have liked to talk about what is happening just now, in these southern parts of Italy; I was thinking that I could write everything in one post about what is happening, but this post is becoming too long, so we will write more posts about this issue and then we will go back to our normal life story. So, see you soon in our next post Italy modern history.
