FRIENDS OF VALERIO
After the radio interview today I thought about opening a space dedicated to the FRIENDS OF VALERIO ALBISETTI. This space will become a point of reference for all those who feel they are my friends and who make up this big family.
Friendship as I intend it is a continuous interior journey. It is fascinating, even if it is painful.
To enter into my dimension of friendship you need to clean your heart of perverse mechanisms of the personality that mystify, take responsibility away and render a relationship with truth impossible and therefore render impossible the relationship with yourself, others, the world and God, also.
FRIENDS OF VALERIO ALBISETTI
Friendship is an abused term… it seems easy but I believe it’s a skill. Friendship is always personal, never generic. A true friend, even if he or she knows your negative aspects, does not attack them. To be a true friend is not easy, it’s a continuous mutual growth process. To be able to truly be friends you need to have a good amount of spirit. It’s not for everyone. To be able to truly be friends you need to listen. To be able to truly be friends you need to know how to create the right amount of distance from each other. In a relationship of true friendship, you need to accept criticism to grow. You should not confuse friendship with the need for another person. In true friendship there is also forgiveness. In true friendship you never humiliate or slander the other person. True friendship moves the heart and makes you go out of yourself. There are no secrets between true friends. Never. I look forward to your presence tomorrow at 8:30 on Raiuno Radio – the Benfatto show conducted by Annalisa Manduca and Lorenzo Opice.
FRIENDSHIP
These days friendship is an inflated, wasted, exploited and used up term.
And yet, taken in its authentic and original dimension, for me it is to be exalted.
I have never called someone a friend that I didn’t know or just got to know.
Nor will I ever do it.
I have never confused an acquaintance, nice person, attractive person, esteemed person with a friend.
Nor will I ever do it.
I write and speak about friendship because in its mature and responsible form it is a source of enjoyment and meaning.
It is not privation, escape, habit, normality, ease or interest.
It is a skill.
It is a space for eternal life.
Conceived as such, friendship is a continuous, fascinating interior journey, even if, at times it can be painful. To reach the form of friendship I intend, you need to clean your heart of perverse personality mechanisms that mystify, take responsibility away and render impossible a relationship with truth and therefore ourselves, others, the world and with God.
To be true friends means continuously reawakening to new life.
SHORT RAIRADIO UNO INTERVIEW ON FRIENDSHIP
Wednesday March 10th at around 8:30 am on the BENFATTO show, conducted by Annalisa Manduca and Lorenzo Opice. We’ll talk about FRIENDSHIP, a theme that is very dear to me as you know.
Pass the word because unfortunately I don’t get many opportunities to testify to our search for meaning, and also because this is a courageous show in the way it treats certain issues and the listeners can call in.
THE TIME IN WHICH WE LIVE
I speak of the time in which we live because I feel it is like a world of dead symbols, an historic period in which the true search for our callings is rendered difficult, not real.
The old peasant and patriarchal society was a world full of symbols, where the individual could easily find his or her calling and path.
Even if at times it was mistaken.
In any case, it was a magic universe.
Where nature was the teacher, indicating strategies and providing directions.
LIVE WITH PASSION
To the women and men that do not follow their callings, that they may reawaken…
and become aware of them.
To the generations of interior people, to my faithful readers that follow me..
I say that life does not go feared, nor dreamed but lived in the first person, with passion.
Above all else.
