About Me

CURRENT MISSION

finish my university studies

ABOUT ME

I'm in love with Asian cultures and languages, mainly Chinese one.

PHILOSOPHY

if our mind is full of prejudices,we can't hear the truth of others.When conversating, the majority of ppl is hurry to express their own opinion, and consequently they can't hear anything else but their own voice.
----
do you know what it means to depend on somebody for your happiness? It is not the mere physical dependence on another which is so binding, but the inward, psychological dependence from which you derive so-called happiness; for when you depend on somebody in that way, you become a slave. If, as you grow older, you depend emotionally on your parents, on your wife or husband, on a guru, or on some idea, there is already the beginning of bondage. We don't understand this - although most of us, especially when we are young, want to be free
---
Until we understand and really break away from all inward dependence we can never be free, for only in that understanding can there be freedom. But freedom is not a mere reaction. Do you know what a reaction is? If I say something that hurts you, if I call you an ugly name and you get angry with me, that is a reaction - a reaction born of dependence; and independence is a further reaction. But freedom is not a reaction, and until we understand reaction and go beyond it, we are never free (Krishnamurti)

Questioner: What is intelligence? Krishnamurti: Let us go into the question very slowly, patiently, and find out. To find out is not to come to a conclusion. I don't know if you see the difference. The moment you come to a conclusion as to what intelligence is, you cease to be intelligent. That is what most of the older people have done: they have come to conclusions. Therefore they have ceased to be intelligent. So you have found out one thing right off: that an intelligent mind is one which is constantly learning, never concluding

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For now I have been hosted by 4-5 persons. I've been to Finland first, then to Belgium and recently also to my own country Italy (in Macerata). I enjoyed very much to meet so many new friends that actually gave me an even deeper feelings about what to live and stay in a country or in another city means. I think Couchsurfing is a great opportunity for Sharing Life with people, it is not just about travelling somewhere to see the places you want to, or doing what you have to. It's more about Connecting people and sharing experiences, making friends, and I Like when this happens.

Interests

Asian music (I'm learning to play the pipa (琵琶) a chinese lute) Chinese philosophy, weiqi (go in japanese), Chinese calligraphy and most important for me, jianzhi (papercutting) . Watch movies, documentaries, listening to folk and traditional music but not only. I like Davide Van De Sfroos ((:
