Title
“The day is too short to be selfish” is a title we loved right away, because its meaning is cutting and concise but at the same time extremely evocative: why be so selfish if the day is so short?
Why limit to “us”, denying the “other”'s happiness? And of course by saying “other” we mean the “other” that is inside everyone.
And that's how in the title, more than a precise program, we have different points of view, that differ in order to be richer, because, as someone already said, “the most dangerous illusion is that only one reality is possible”.
Then the marvel is the word “selfish” itself, for us Italians it sounds bizarre, because it holds “self” inside it but also “fish”, a part of us, of our name, of our history.
That silent “fish” that we have always wanted to give voice to, make it sing and play our music.
Because we could all be the ones in the fish bowl, conscripted and observed in all our big or small evolutions, all of us human animals.
All you need to do is to turn upside down your point of view.
So why be selfish?
What if it's the fishes that watch us from the other side of the bowl?
