The historical period The historical period we
are going through seems to be characterized by a lot of peculiarities
which make it unique in comparison with the past and
therefore difficult to interpret. In a world where the
traditional patterns of reference are progressively
losing their power of persuasion, man finds it more and
more difficult to comprehend his own role, squeezed as he
is between an internal reality and an external one which
is constantly evolving far beyond any ability of
understanding. In such conditions,
notwithstanding the need not to be alone, man tends to
retire into his own shell. Yet, everyone should be
aware of the fact that other people's problems are just like
our own problems. Therefore, it is very important to encourage a direct dialogue among men in order to try to achieve, together, a better awareness of Life. |
