"Interest" Scrovegni


Among the allegory of the vices that adorn the right side of the beautiful Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Giotto painted Envy.
burns in the fire, clutching the bag of money. A snake from his mouth, he turns away, only to twist to meet his gaze.

Currently the whole chapel is restored and shines in all its glory.
This image, among the splendor of the whole work, particularly impressed me.
Enrico Scrovegni commissioned the chapel in 1303. According to this hypothesis
accredited committee was intended to "save their souls" his and his family, guilty of the sin of usury (the bag of money in this picture and other details in the entire work, I suggest iconographically) .
The sensitivity of the Christian period showed, in this, the consistency that later had no qualms about missed considered that the loan interest a grave sin.
Warning the loan interest : no question on the rate applied but on the very concept of interest.
So, now the respectable profession of the Scrovegni family, bankers, was for them a matter of serious concern for the soul ...
Of course even then the Christian integrity - that even the least ordered its faithful to what was one of the main accusations against Jews - came to the consistency of denying leniency to those who might give to the Church part of this illicit gain. In this, it seems, we have a lot of art.

There is no indication of whether Enrico Scrovegni obtained with this work, in addition to lost time, even the eternal. Certainly we should be grateful for giving us this timeless masterpiece. I suspect, however, is that the snake wear, as shown Giotto by envy, it is still staring into his eyes.


also suggest to investigate the question: because it is the concept of interest, not the magnitude of the rate, for being considered a sin? Perhaps more than many respectable but still questionable moral arguments, use the query to Google "seigniorage" (and a few hours of patience) could provide an answer ...

The chrysalis becomes a butterfly who wanted

Imagine a hypothetical that aspires to become a butterfly chrysalis.

This ambition is inherent in his nature. The chrysalis of this unfortunate case, however, after such a long way since he was a caterpillar and unlike butterflies that we know, does not call automatically to the condition of a butterfly. It is, in this case, a "species" to implement the transformation should take some steps at first. A special chrysalis, much like a human being who wants to have some influence over their lives.

The difficult task of this first comprise the chrysalis of having to understand the steps required, because - since they are necessary - and considered that those making them will not preclude any transformation.
The chrysalis butterfly dreaming that he was already - in a process that requires active steps instead of - I do not ever become: will only continue to dream of it. But it would

only the beginning. Should then understand when and what steps do.
The "dream", which is almost all of his life, was again his main opponent.

now has perhaps sensed that something must be done, but stronger than that unrealistic satisfaction, apply to understand "what and when" the presumption that had the same dream as long as he thought of not having to do anything because it was already perfect or it would be soon automatically become. That
pretends to know things that were not given but worth investigating. "Dream" then.

believe that the moment is to do those steps which, for whatever his injury, considered easier, which should be accorded to some common place, the signs of someone, or depend only on external factors. Lose sight of that is that the only time any action is possible now is: whatever now.
So now, the only real opportunity pass while our chrysalis, as it is asleep, basking in the "bad luck" of not having opportunities to perform their processing. Sometimes, however, should prove

realize how unrealistic is that his perspective would wake up with the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving to do something "tomorrow" and, anxious to do something now, "dream" of what to do and can do it.

If, again, to ask itself would discover that perhaps only the transformation in his dreams completely violates the laws of nature which is subject to, for example, would find that dream can not breathe for days to survive, but stopping well short of actually doing it. If it really wants to become a butterfly chrysalis must reflect on the laws that govern this change in reality.

Among the things that you will discover that there has been a chance to become a butterfly, but that, in addition to implementing conquistandosela only if it has the potential to become a butterfly "blue" can become "orange". It may be beautiful but will have to do, learn, and know the reality on the ground, and build on what he has. Not what you dream of having ...

Six Thinking Hats.

Edward De Bono in his book "Six Thinking Hats" presents an interesting technique of creative thinking.

In groups, meetings - but often in inner conversation - the reasoning is easily self-censorship by fear of the opinion, by prejudice, by force of habit. We tend that is easy to use only the type of reasoning that De Bono calls "black hat": a critical analysis. As
this analysis is useful, is only one of the tools available, limiting and insufficient if taken alone.
The suggestion, to overcome this limitation, is to play roles, to wear "uniforms" such as hats, they are real or metaphorical.

This trick allows you to appease the concerns of a "fool", protecting the back of the "hat worn" and thereby encouraging action that would not otherwise have a way to emerge. It allows us to focus on different phases, new perspectives, thus enriching the collection of data on the topic in question. Because it facilitates communication within a "game" to ask the other to "change log" avoids the possible resentments in the usual conversation might expose us.

The process uses six different perspectives, represented by De Bono's six hats of different colors.

white hat.
Thought for information. Neutral and objective. exposure of facts and figures, no interpretation, "cool" as the data in a computer. It should be worn in exposure of data on the issue to be resolved. Exposure should be devoid do any review, evaluation or feeling personal data only.
The white color suggests neutrality.

Red Hat.
emotional thoughts. Emotional and subjective. Has the important function of providing space for feelings and emotions - both positive and negative - that in the absence of "remain hidden in the background, exerting a hidden influence that could hamper hopelessly research the solution. " also offers other function study of knee-jerk reaction, free from the superstructure of a subject at a given idea. The emotions / feelings expressed do not need to be motivated, motivate others is the task of hats.
The color red suggests passion.

black hat.
Critical Thinking. Pessimism. wears "devil's advocate" to expose all the flaws, limitations and possible ways in which an idea can fail. But always and only within a logical analysis "does not work because ...".
"I do not like" would be an emotion and as such, positive or negative, concerning the red hat. Any criticism should be well motivated with this hat. The black
evokes negativity.

yellow hat. constructive thinking. Optimism. - It should be worn to express the positive aspects of an idea. So how to explain it on a logical basis for projecting the positive scenarios, animated by a spirit of hope. Help to overcome the impasse in which all the streets seem to have no background. The yellow color reminds
sunlight.

green hat. Creative Thinking. Creativity. Searching for alternatives, lateral thinking, brainstorming . Wear a green hat means to explore, exceed the limit of their preconceptions in mind that, as they may be valid, " a good idea is enemy of better .
The green color evokes the image of the grass, vegetation, and abundant fertile growth

blue hat. organizational thinking. Control and management. should be worn to moderate the meeting, summarize, synthesize, remember the objectives, redarne agenda, direct its operation sequences. Holds the role of choreographer of "ballet" of mind.
the blue color reminiscent of the blue sky above it all.

During each session, each participant is asked to wear these hats. This can be done formally under the guidance of a moderator - and then hold that the permanently blue hat - as well so finormale through phrases like "how about now get all the green hat? For twenty minutes," "let a moment by the black hat, "" expose the facts with the only white hat "," relegates the emotions the red hat ", etc..

Zen and the art of managing a crisis communication

paraphrase the title RM Pirsig, and" Lila, "his second work, I am inspired in some places. talking about the crisis broad sense - not economic ... - by the time "delicate" in which the flow of events is interrupted automatically. And I agree with Huxley that this time depends essentially on how we live.

Grammatically to say "what happens to us" that the subject, the events, not ourselves, which just "happen." So it is. The succession of events we call life is largely automatic. Sometimes, however, this "flow Automatic "stops, slows down or spins and a sense of restlessness assails us. A shock in the great sleep that we call life.

long as we believe that our purpose is" to stay "comfortable, these kicks are definitely undesirable. But always happen and will happen .
Why is that? are programming errors? Or more likely the fault lies in the interpretation commonly given to such shocks?

Each situation is evaluated only in terms of a purpose. As children we all ask "why?", then many desist. Without a reason, however, no sense, and the ultimate question remains "what is my purpose?". "Convenience" is the common response logically sees with horror that any change imposed by a crisis. "Acquisition of knowledge" is the answer represented by those who, over the centuries, has not abandoned at an early age by asking the above question. The purpose

(active *) existence is to gain awareness, understanding. The only real difference between a man and another, whether rich or poor, manager or miner, healthy or sick.
From this point of view, the interruption of the flow is independent of events before they resume to flow in some other direction, an opportunity to understand and sometimes even act deliberately.

Whether it teaches us this opportunity even etymology, from the greek "krisis" - choice, a decision - as well as the medical sense of the word: rapidly changing, for better or for worse, the course of an illness, so decisive for the course to recovery as to the death . Also reminds us of Pirsig mentioned in the novel, which presents what we normally refer illness / madness as actually "cure" the real disease: the "normal schizophrenic" lived normally. Or the times when despite having a voice that (very) basically tells us that "this is not all" do our best to "stay" comfortable.

issues of viewpoints in fact, or of purpose - convenience or awareness - able to offer in case of crisis, fear and despair or confidence in a precious opportunity. Exactly as Huxley said: "The reality is not what happens to us but what we do with what happens to us" ...


* purpose is to focus that includes humans - grammatically - gain awareness of the subject. Without this man is not merely "no purpose", but only without a purpose, is a tool of the forces that will make things happen. In metaphor - not much ... - Has, however, is designed to fertilize the land. This purpose "liabilities" of fulfilling even in the absence of any commitment ...
