I've just woken up after a short nap in the afternoon; this life in Gatton has been making me tired. Tired of working in a farm where I can't find a better stimulation then complete the 88 days required to get the Second Visa and then fly away from this place. The daily life is not really exciting, yet there's not much to do and everyday I need t remind to myself that I'm still in Australia. I'm overseas, I've been on the other part of the globe almost for 9 months for many reasons. Above all the decision to leave came from I desire that was inside myself, for a research of personal motivations that I couldn't find when I was in my own Country.
I postponed my departure too many time when suddenly some facts turned my idea into reality. After I woke up in this early afternoon and I watched a video on a particular website, one of these facts have come in my mind reminding me how the Country which gave me birth is becoming an unmitigated disaster. I'm talking about the politics and its politicians who, apparently, have been appointed by their electors, in order to do the interests of the population. However, this is not happening and it's not going to happen at all.
Anyway, I was saying that I watched a video related to the cost of the politics in Italy. In that video has been showed that a parliamentarian of the italian Republic has proposed to reduce the difference, that nowadays is so incredibly clear and marked, between the annuity that a "normal" person gets after 40 years of work and the annuity that a politicians gets just after 5 years in the Parliament. It's a fact which is unthinkable, such marked difference wouldn't exist, not even in a kidding hypothesis. If I felt under the weather this morning because I'm tired of this life in Gatton, as I said at the beggining, after watching the video I mentioned my mood skyrocket towards the sadness.
It has been said that at the vote, following the proposal of the parliamentarian, has taken part 520 politicians: 22 of them voted "yes", in order to abolish the privilege to receive the annuity just after 5 years "working" (it would be better to say "sitting") in the Parliament; the rest of the, 498 (!), voted "no".
Being italian make me embarrassed hearing this news. It's a felony! And it's a shame that the population has to withstand the burden of the cost of the politics without receiving back anything. My family and most of my friends are living there, where this is happening and I feel really sorry for them. Even because it's my Country and, maybe, in a future, I'm supposed to go back there.
Nevertheless these kind of news related to the politics, bad economy and situations of daily life (I'm referring, for instance, at the problem of the schedule time of trains in Italy that are always late), I love my Country. I love it because it represents the place where I was born and I lived continuously for 27 years.
However, I'm conscious that the italian reality is becoming worse and worse day by day, so far there's not a future at the horizon, there's not hope for a better life which could allow the italian families to live with dignity. Unfortunately, every single aspect of their life is strictly correlated with the politics and its decisions. The decisions themselves represent, at the same time, the upside and the downside. They are the upside if they have been observed from the point of view of the parliamentarians because all the choices undertaken, have the main goal to make the already bright and good life of the politicians even better, in despite of the population and their economical state. The downside, of course, has been viewed from the same population that is becoming day after day poorer.
It's disconcerting being the witness of these facts and not having the power and the possibilty to do something to change the situation.
Furthermore, it's frustrating the thought that the people who love are still there, involved and completely soaked in this reality that it's not going to change.
