			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Siamo un mondo in crisi. Continuano a dircelo un po&#8217; da tutte le parti. La crescita faticosamente riprende, ma ancora le persone non la vedono.<br />
Siamo prigionieri di proclami che ci dicono di essere ottimisti, di politici che ci sorridono, per poi rubarci la dignità di essere liberi pensatori.</p>
<p>In mezzo alla desolazione del pensier comune, una cosa mi ha colpito, con la forza di una verità sconvolgente.<br />
Siamo in crisi, ma non è detto che si debba arrendersi.</p>
<p><img src="http://cipicchia.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/miserabile-amica1.jpg" alt="Paolini e i Mercanti di Liquore" title="Paolini e i Mercanti di Liquore" width="300" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-270" /></p>
<p>Più o meno è questo il succo dello spettacolo di Marco Paolini, andato in onda su La7 due giorni or sono. Uno spettacolo incentrato sull&#8217;illusione del libero mercato, dell&#8217;economia galoppante, della rincorsa al consumismo.<br />
Con il suo fare ironico e un po&#8217; beffardo, Marco Paoloni ha provato a farci capire che tutto sommato, la crisi non è la ragione principale per cui ci sentiamo un po&#8217; &#8220;miserabili&#8221;.</p>
<p>Il miserabile è colui che perde la speranza, che si rassegna all&#8217;inevitabilità delle cose, senza provare a lottare per cambiare ciò che non va.<br />
La crisi certamente ci fa perdere la fiducia, nelle istituzioni, nell&#8217;economia, nelle piccole cose di tutti i giorni. Però quello che non fa è toglierci la nostra voglia di opporsi, di lottare per ri-emergere dal fondo del lago.<br />
Si deve essere ottimisti? Certo, ma non come qualcuno che demagogicamente fa proclami sul &#8220;tanto va tutto bene, chi dice il contrario dice una bugia&#8221;. L&#8217;ottimismo non è un atteggiamento passivo, non bisogna aspettare sul bordo del fiume.<br />
Vogliamo che le cose cambino? Dobbiamo essere i primi ad agire in tal senso. Essere ottimisti non basta, occorre rimboccarsi le maniche ed essere artefici del proprio vivere.</p>
<p>Che tutto questo sia stato &#8220;rivelato&#8221; da uno spettacolo teatrale, è solo un fatto marginale. Avere un cervello significa anche cogliere spunti di riflessione dalle cose più semplici e banali.<br />
E a volte basta un semplice programma televisivo per avere una visione cristallina di verità che, in fondo, sono già sotto la superficie (in)cosciente del nostro pensiero.</p>
<p>Per inciso lo spettacolo è stato eccezionale, e il supporto musicale dei Mercanti di Liquore veramente ben congegnato.<br />
Per non parlare poi della scenografia, i container del porto di Taranto ben inquadravano la sensazione di oppressione, ma al tempo stesso di speranza e possibilità.<br />
Memorabile la definizione del secondo principio della termodinamica:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Il secondo principio della termodinamica è quello che dice che, se hai un acquario e vuoi fare una frittura mista, non è detto che dopo puoi riavere l&#8217;acquario
