The Eyjafjallajokul volcano, earthquakes, the nature that rebels and symbols

Marina Gersony April 19, 2010

About the Eyjafjallajokul volcano. Here are the comments of some scholars who analyze the similarities between natural events / apocalyptic and turning points like the present we are experiencing. Even if some (usually those in power with a few exceptions) are considered immortal and the other dealing underestimating the forces of nature that deserves greater attention (much more green policies, green etc). But back to the scholars' use of metaphoric and symbolic image of the fog of obfuscation to express the senses, confusion of mind, solitude, Forgetfulness, nostalgia, melancholy, loss of consciousness, desperation, unforeseeable future. " As if to say, we are at a nebulous, difficult and unsettling - the global economic crisis, the Church scandals, earthquakes and natural disasters, zero of a part of the Polish political class because (even) of the fog. (Instead of our political class - to which we wish long life, but retired - continues to give himself a spettaccolo disheartening to say the least). And finally the eruption of the volcano in Iceland that paralyzed half of Europe with ash and fog. What does it all mean? I do not know, I watch and wait for this cloud epochal steps and you take away all the abominations ... By: on Wednesday there is a peak of ash on Italy due to the explosion of the volcano. According to forecasts by Gelsomina Pappalardo, researcher and coordinator of the CNR-dell'Imaa European project "EARLINET" (European Aerosol Research Lidar Network), which updates on travel to Italy in the volcanic cloud, the cloud today is already on the Peninsula and at the time "covers," the central and northern regions, excluding the north-east. Once past the cloud, clean air back in Italy? We hope. Full article on the cloud http://www3.lastampa.it/ambiente/sezioni/news/articolo/lstp/191302/

I read with great interest your article in this. It made me reflect a lot and I brought to mind a few months ago had a conversation 'with some "old" in a small town in the Mexican Yucatan. They explained to me that the man at this time is evil Asthe land is not able to observe the planet that allows him to live. The man and foolish as well as blind and deaf to signals it receives, the world is' changing, humans do not. Before this general insensitivity and hypocrisy mother nature intervene by order and cleanliness forcing mankind to start afresh, so discovering the true meaning of life and its associated values. These "old" they went on telling that after all the ns. world seen in perspective .... Universal is worth less than nothing and that even in this case is the rule that everything does not work or shows signs of deterioration if they do not repent, is naturally eliminated.
The ns. Political fight over a chair and this world, you continue to spend money on war than to increase the power and the speakers of a few. With the same money we could irrigate deserts to create alternative sources of energy and still be prepared to face real world catastrophes as usual ........... .......... but only after we understand.

Robert ... I agree with, that man is a fool and is killing the planet is beyond doubt, that governments around the world do nothing to preserve their interests favoring of power is equally true, everything ... View tuttoò is very sad and painful for people like us, wants to do something, but is powerless. Certainly if nature will "clean" we will be forced to revise lost values, this will not do good to mankind. In this sense, yes, these phenomena attribuirei a symbolic value that is a means to bring us to a deep reflection
