gaze trained to run around the deeply troubled glances in short sequences is a look deformed. In the new environment, where most people do not have it, has the effect of something that flickers on his face.
stranger's gaze that was brought below is an old thing. Again
only has that, among the others look intact, you can see.
It can not eliminate overnight, maybe it would be impossible.
of this look healthy if people realize it quickly. They believe that this look has been developed and are now themselves and their environment, the cause of this mode of search. Referring to that look, I've heard used several times already, by people of integrity, the word "iconoclastic." And I mean that, with this look, "protesting," I should not wonder if I was in the country where I was treated badly. This statement implies that I have been to force the dictatorship to persecute and it to impose on me this look.
What the people here are monsters so annoyed, so immeasurably and unreasonably alarmed against anyone who is a stranger, much to distance itself as if by instinct, this is something that has to do with this look.
not that I want to take up the defense of the alien look.
It does its job regardless of who has nothing to do, reveals his nervousness because they can not do otherwise. In the train compartment, the supermarket, in the waiting room or in the flower shop deals with others, observing them in a lively and penetrating way in which they are accustomed.
paves the faces and gestures of strangers, reaching quick observations, as has been practiced to do for years and years: just look at it and has already incorporated the deciphering.
Who is intact is the same one that has little indulgence for him.
He sometimes draw the wrong conclusions, often radical, which are not correct. The eye gets stranger aggressively on defense, while there is no need.
needs the state of alarm that is used, the constant irritation in short intervals, can be recharged with those who are accidentally overlooked, we need people who are not concerned in any way. These projects on the ill that they need to respond with a defensive attitude, gives them, numbness, coldness, perfidy. And, if those who are faced with is friendly, the hypocrisy of blaming.
stranger's gaze do not captivate you can, since it mixes with people of her past life that has nothing to do with it, it is considered injured and is prone to presumption.
E 'may well be that strange look in his continuous provocation - but there is no alternative - is partly responsible that provokes hostility from those who target the innocent.
endangers himself as if he had something to hide. In the gaze
stranger lurks the duplicity of the objects that cast shadows insignificant significant opposition from the chrysalis to get undress.
Esso somiglia alle cose del suo mondo sotto sorveglianza d'un tempo. (…)

Che lo sguardo estraneo sia corresponsabile dell’effetto che fa sulle persone integre è soltanto un aspetto della questione. Anche la gente integra assume un atteggiamento difensivo senza che ce ne sia alcuna necessità. Anche loro proiettano sullo sguardo estraneo quelle motivazioni di cui hanno bisogno per sfuggire il soffio della vita danneggiata. Nello scricchiolìo fra la gente di qui e gli estranei sono due i partiti in gioco. A proposito di ciò che bisogna intendere per sguardo estraneo, però, il contenuto del concetto è stato coniato da quelli di qui, dagli integri. And 'their country, their language. They did a shared definition of their advice when we can no longer change anything: a foreign eye reacts to the stimulus of a foreign country.
the people integrated this belief is useful, humanitarian distance from strangers is permissible.
If the victim gives a different explanation for his strange look, at the foot of the refuses.
It's scary to realize how much of a rubble how he carries with it a world that works in perfect order. The
shared definition: "A foreign eye reacts to the stimulus of a foreign country" means the hope that this look would cease to exist once get used to the newness of the country. (...) Consider the effect of foreign eyes a strange environment is even more absurd as the opposite is true: it comes from the familiar things of which we are removed from the obvious.
Nobody is willing to give up the obvious, everyone depends on things that remain obedient to him and not lose their nature. Things that you can trade without reflected in them.
If one begins to reflect, the following can only go down a precipice, from every little gesture glances toward the abyss. Feeling
in agreement with things is valuable because let us live. The name is obvious. It exists only until it is perceived.
I think the obvious is the more relaxing it is given.
It keeps us at a safe distance from ourselves. And the most perfect way to save money, that of not having to take account of its presence.
It is the result more difficult when the obviousness fails, the fact that human beings are found not depleted of individual components enumerable of its existence, but once tutt'in become impossible for them to bring many things to a unity with themselves.
It developed a sensor that quivers and trembles constantly. The continuous self-perception has something di incestuoso con la realtà circostante e di adulterino con la propria persona. I nervi sovreccitati ce li si sente in corpo, alla lettera, come dei filamenti e non li si può strappar via.
Ci si stanca di se stessi e bisogna amarsi.
