Con quali rinunce?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Non mi importa se passo per vecchia perch&eacute; rimpiango il mondo della mia giovinezza.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Quel mondo mi manca per davvero.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Darei qualsiasi cosa per tornare a prima della insopportabile propaganda di sistema di adesso diffusa ovunque e in continuazione, a prima del doom-scrolling dei social e degli algoritmi creati per dividere.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Il progresso tecnologico degli ultimi vent&#8217;anni &egrave; stato il grimaldello per polarizzare la societ&agrave;, dividere la famiglia, ridurre la politica a puro affarismo, trasformare ogni narcisista in un leone da tastiera che sfama il proprio ego con l&#8217;odio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vorrei tornare ai giorni dei valori familiari, al senso di appartenza, all&#8217;importanza della deontologia professionale, della responsabilit&agrave; individuale.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vorrei tornare a una scienza silenziosa lontana dai social e al servizio dei pi&ugrave; deboli, non dei pi&ugrave; ricchi.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Questo oggi &egrave; il vero peso della mia vecchiaia. Non gli anni che ho, ma il mondo che non c&#8217;&egrave; pi&ugrave;.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pi&ugrave; che buon compleanno, serve la forza per resistere.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">HPA<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; English Version &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>I was born on January 27, 1960, so that makes 66.<\/p>\n<p>But the years don&rsquo;t weigh on me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As I&rsquo;ve grown older, I&rsquo;ve realized happiness is made of simple things: the waking smile of a man I&rsquo;ve loved for 20 years, a quiet morning, a clean space, not staying out late, a safe home, and people who don&rsquo;t drain my energy.<\/p>\n<p>I don&rsquo;t miss the youth that&rsquo;s gone.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what some may say, thinking to offend&mdash;this leg can still go up high.<\/p>\n<p>What I miss is the world those years took away with them.<\/p>\n<p>They tell us life expectancy has grown.<\/p>\n<p>That may be true, but at what cost?<\/p>\n<p>With what sacrifices?<\/p>\n<p>I don&rsquo;t care if I seem old because I long for the world of my youth.<\/p>\n<p>I truly miss that world.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;d give anything to go back to before the unbearable, everywhere, non-stop system propaganda of today, before the doom-scrolling through social media and the algorithms engineered to divide.<\/p>\n<p>The technological progress of the last twenty years has been the crowbar that polarized society, split families apart, reduced politics to pure business, and turned every narcissist into a keyboard warrior feeding their ego with hate.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;d like to return to the days of family values, of belonging, of professional integrity, of personal responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;d like to return to a science that works in silence, far from the social spotlight, in service of the weakest&mdash;not the richest.<\/p>\n<p>That is the true burden of my old age today. Not the years I carry, but the world that is no longer here.<\/p>\n<p>More than &ldquo;happy birthday,&rdquo; what&rsquo;s needed is the strength to endure.<\/p>\n<p>HPA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Sono nata il 27 gennaio del 1960, quindi fanno 66.&nbsp; Ma gli [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2156,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_angie_page":false,"page_builder":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-853","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=853"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/853\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2957,"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/853\/revisions\/2957"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
