‘A way to deal with frozen feelings’

Every child experiences all that happens around him with total awareness. In the rst seven years, the child's brain is like a sponge, taking in all sensory inputs and building his idea of his surroundings. As long as the environment is safe, the child learns with incredible speed. However, when the environment is scary or stressful, the child unlearns the past learnings just as rapidly. In the early years of every child's life, whenever there is shock, violence, fear or pain, these intense emotions are imprinted deeply into the memory. Whenever the same activity or situation is repeated, the nervous system and body subconsciously re-experience the memory of that trauma. Any emotional situation that takes us out of the present and into the past means that whenever the same kind of emotion crops up later in our life, we return to the past for our reference point. If that point was at age three, we nd ourselves behaving like a three-year-old. We feel childish and we behave childishly. Our feelings are the cause of this 'glitch' in our learning process. We know we should be able to make a positive change, but that doesn't change anything. The process of change need not be traumatic. We couldn't have done any better because we didn't know how to. But we should realise that was then and this is now! We can choose to choose again. It's up to us. It's our movie!

So Tiziano continued to draw. But one thing troubled him greatly—all the pictures he made were black, drawn with his piece of black charcoal. Yet around him glowed a perfect glory of colour—the beautiful blue of the sky; the delicate, changing pink of the great jagged peaks above him; the red, blue and yellow wild flowers; the golden brilliance of sunshine; and the rich, soft, mellowed tints in the old houses of the town. Colour! Tiziano loved it more than anything else in the world. Yet, how was he to reproduce it and get it into his pictures? He had no money to buy paints, and paints were expensive in those days. His father, who was a mountaineer, would never listen to anything so foolish as buying paints for a boy when the family needed food, clothing and fuel to keep them warm. Let Tiziano make shoes! That was a trade for a man! All the same, Tiziano continued to dream of painting, and to wonder if there was not some way he could make a picture in colours. The day before the festival of flowers; Tiziano chanced to pass the spot where the garlands had been woven the evening before. Suddenly, he noticed stains on the stones of the walk before the inn. They were every colour that a painter needed! In a moment the feast and the fun went out of Tiziano’s mind. Catarina saw her brother hastening out of the village. She ran to bring him back and found him in a meadow looking like a variegated quilt from the brilliance of the wild flowers. “Tiziano!” she called, “Why are you running away from the feast?” The boy did not answer for a moment. Too often he had been teased by his family and the villagers for the crazy dreams in his head. At last he answered bluntly, “I have found that the stains of flowers make colours and I am going to paint a picture.”

Nationalism, of course, is a curious phenomenon, which at a certain stage in a country’s history gives life, growth and unity at the same time. It has a tendency to create oneness, because one thinks of one’s country as something different from the rest of the world. One’s perspective changes and continuously thinking of one’s own struggles and virtues and failing to come to the conclusion of others thoughts. The result is that the same nationalism, which is the symbol of growth people becomes a symbol of a cessation of that growth in the mind. Nationalism, when it becomes successful, sometimes goes on spreading in an aggressive way and becomes a danger, internationally. Whatever line of thought you follow you arrive at the conclusion that some kind of balance must be found. Otherwise something that was good can turn into evil. Culture, which is essentially good becomes not only static, but aggressive and something that breeds conflict and hatred when looked at from a wrong point of view. How are you to find a balance, I don’t know. Apart from the political and economic problems of the age, perhaps, this is the greatest problem today because behind it there is a tremendous search for something that it cannot find. We turn to economic theses because they have an undoubted importance. It is a folly talk of culture or even of God when human beings starve and die. Before one can talk about anything else one must provide the normal essentials of life to human beings. That is where economics comes in. Human beings today are not in the mood to tolerate this suffering, starvation and inequality when they see that the burden is not equally shared, leaving others to profit while they only bear the burden.
