8 minn dak li jkun g˙alih innifsu. Trid xi eΩempju? Li taqbeΩ mis-sodda malli jdoqq l-iΩveljarin; tiekol dak li ma jog˙©bokx; tixrob xi kafe’ morr; tbati l-u©ig˙ fi sninek bla ma toqg˙od teqred ma’ kul˙add; tistenna li kul˙add ikun ˙a l-ikel li ried qabel ma tmur tiekol int; tnaqqas mill- ammont ta’ ˙in quddiem it-TV; ma tag˙milx telefonati li ma jispiççaw qatt eçç... Forsi tisma’ dan, ikun hemm min jitbissem. Imma madankollu huma propju dawn is-sagrifiççji li jΩommu r-rieda fil-wiçç sabiex tkun tista’ tissaporti s-slaleb tal-˙ajja ta’ kuljum. Óadd ma g˙andu jid˙ak: is-sagrifiççju ma kienx idea li setg˙et tkun valorizzatha qabel Freud. Anki wara Freud, je˙tie© li tibqa’ fil- pedago©ija tag˙na. Je˙tie© tibqa’ g˙ax li tkun paxxut u komdu, f’kelma o˙ra l-komodiΩmu, hu gidba g˙ax b˙alma g˙idna l-˙ajja mhijix xi xalata. Je˙tie© tibqa’ g˙ax “min ma jafx jg˙id le g˙al dak li bi dritt hu tieg˙u, diffiçilment imbag˙ad jevita affarijiet projbiti” (Toth Thiamer, kittieb UngeriΩ). Je˙tie© li tibqa’ g˙ax “fer˙ kbir je˙tie© ostaklu kbir” (Robert Musil, kittieb Awstrijak 1880 – 1942). Bejn fer˙ u sagrifiççju fil-fatt hemm relazzjoni b’ sa˙˙itha ˙afna! Fl-Afrika jing˙ad li l-fer˙ jitnissel mill- pjanta li g˙andha l-g˙eruq tag˙ha forma ta’ salib. Wara kollox mhuwix minnu li ˙ajja façli Ω-Ωejjed hi ˙ajja ta’ dwejjaq? Je˙tie© nag˙tu ra©un lil Ghandi (1869 – 1948) : “L-istorja tad- dinja turi li ma kien hemm xejn romantiku fiha kieku ma kinux jeΩistu l-g˙onja!” Il-kwotazzjonijiet: “Óafna ©id jo˙loq telqa. Ji©©enera l-g˙onja mdejqa. Inissel l-iskumdita’ f’ dawk li huma komdi.” (Paolo Crepet, psikologu) “L-omm tajba Ω-Ωejjed to˙loq bint tajba g˙al xejn!” – Proverbju Id-dielja u Ω-Ωabbari: Jum minnhom id-dielja qalet liΩ-Ωabbari li kien qed jiΩborha: “G˙aliex ©ej lejja b’ dak l-imqass? Forsi trid tiΩborni kif kienu jag˙mlu dari? Armih: Ma tafx li issa Ω-Ωminijiet inbidlu!?”. “Hekk hu,” wie©eb is-sid, ma nag˙tikx tort: m’g˙adnix fiΩ-Ωminijiet l-img˙oddija!” U min˙abba li Ω-Ωminijiet inbidlu, ma Ωabarhix. U min˙abba f’ hekk, fil-˙arifa d-dielja ma tatx g˙eneb. B˙as-soltu ©ew il-˙bieb biex iduqu l-inbid il-©did. “M’ hawnx inbid ©did g˙ax issa nbidlu Ω-Ωminijiet!” qal imnikket sid id-dielja!
