For a strange, mysterious mental logical path, always happens that I ask with the thought something to the United States of America. And for a strange and mysterious way, everything that I wonder with the thought to the United States of America they have already made. Thank you, President Obama. This year I would have wished that the 11 September was dedicated to the Memory of all employees who work in the service of the human community. Their hard work, their extreme sacrifice no one ever dedicated a moment of reflection. They all (alive or dead) are an Army of Good Acting. They are my People of Good Will. But from this "republic founded on work" I have to call them again: "The Unknown Workers". Today with these your words I can finally realize my dream: to make the Honor and Tribute and Gratitude they deserve. These Heroes of everyday life (to which nobody ever says: "thank you") they are my myths, my heroes, my family. Thank You Mr. President. Thanks to all of you who worked for the human community, in simple words: for us, for me.

When the Spirits of 11 September are going to return, if you have nothing good and compassionate to say, I beg you: do not say anything. Let them tell again and again and again the story of heroism that is written in one of the most beautiful pages of human history.

Nobody can die, nobody must die in vain: this is my thinking, my lifestyle. Thus, for many years I have remained silent so as not to add to the torment of anguish to the survivors of September 11.

And suddenly one day in September, a biblical warning reminds me that "Evil prevails when Good remains silent". What is "Evil" it says to me an ancient Instinct: "anyone who uses the pain and tragedy of others for profit and fame that otherwise he is not able to find, that it is evil!"

September 2012: If this is not "The Time of Heroes" but of "sharks of inside" (thanks for having coined these words, legendary Washington Post!) is because nobody has more the intention, the generosity and courage to work in the service of the human community. No longer has the courage to use the heart and brain to deal with an emergency matter: family sickness, poverty of a neighbor, a local or national emergency.But all believe they "have the right" to let work "the others" while comfortably living safely in their homes. But an old guilt it's written in our dna when we reject the help to our human brothers. Not to listen to the voice of conscience, this modern human people invent all sorts of "conspiracy", most recently on 11 September. And I think I am horrified at the cynicism that makes landfall on the tortured families, widows and children, parents, siblings and friends who all hung on to only one thought: "he died from Hero!". It takes a lot of courage of cowards to turn this smile of their souls, the only one who can help them to overcome the tragedy.
