This summer, visiting a project supported by the funds of the 8x1000 to the Italian Buddhist Union, I made a discovery: even a tomato can be Buddhist. That tomato was good deep inside, grown without poison and exploitation, respecting the land and those who work it. Your signature next to the Italian Buddhist Union will really make all the difference in this world. 8x1000unionbuddhista.it

Well, this year at the Eurovision, Austria is not kidding, it has a really, really intense song. This artist, JJ, has a really clean, refined voice.

minimalistic in its rise also at the level of tonality really really cool very strong the song whose translation means wasted love is a metaphor that starts from an ocean the ocean of love

that this protagonist feels inside, which must be poured into a person who is afraid of water. This is the metaphor, so practically "I am an ocean, you are afraid of water" is a mess. Love is not corresponded, essentially. The problem is that in this ocean the artist sinks, he feels like drowning. Why? Because

Often we are ourselves, the victims of ourselves. All this is a great metaphor and there is this image that makes the artist very tender, who extends his hand in the hope that someone who is afraid of water should help them. And what does he do?

is observed as he moves away. It is not he who observes the loved one move away, it is the loved one who observes you move away because you go to the sea shore, to the wide one. And so what happens? What comes is the "you're leaving me". But the reflection I make is that you have left yourself to abandon, choosing the wrong person.

I'm denying my feelings, he says. How can you not see it? But he doesn't see it. He sees it well, he doesn't want to deny with you. So there is this piece that really makes you understand how important it is to channel, right? There are those who have too much bread and those who don't even have teeth. There is Africa, there is Italy, Babaman would say. And that's exactly how it is.

and now that you've left everything I have is wasted love, because then what essentially remains of all this? Why does it take so long to recover from an unanswered love, from a feeling that still takes us time to convince ourselves to be such and then to reestablish ourselves? Why do we give ourselves to this enormous imbalance?

internal, hormonal, emotional, and then requires a process that leads to fear. Every time you meet a new person with whom you could make a new love, there is a whole phase in which you have to discard fears. That's why, because we are ourselves denied in our love and we play to make projections.

This song tells that moment, that moment when the avalanche of love that we carry forward comes back to us and becomes our cross.

And if the real enemy in our financial choices was our mind? I am Cristina Scelzo, psychologist and HR manager in the financial sector. In my podcast "Comportamental Finance" I explore, together with experts in psychology, finance and economics, the mental mechanisms that lead us to make low-interest choices with our money to become more efficient and aware savers and investors.
