Affordable luxury

Scroll through the pages of the internet I stumbled upon information, the title said that solidarity is not a luxury. Reading that text made me understand that there would be a meeting to explain the current situation in Haiti and the need to protect children in Central America.

I have nothing to rely on this nor on the purpose of the conference.
But I made a couple of thoughts, very personal, about the situation with regard to solidarity, to demonstrate to those in need.
The first thing that comes to mind is that, instead of talking, we should all, tell all, their wallets c ontribuissero suffered because of their potential.

Who organizes these conferences has certainly already contributed jointly to help the destitute, but often has the feeling that someone erga to teach the way to go, so that through it others. They make great speeches about what should be done, but then very few will.
Meanwhile, conference centers, and everything revolves around them, have seen an increase in its turnover. That money would be better served the cause that is advertised with the Congress. And the luxury of wasting that the needy can not afford it.

The origin of chess is lost in the mists of time, although their spread in Europe goes back a few years after the stroke of the millennium.
Starting from Spain, then under Arab rule, the game spread to neighboring countries and Central Europe. At that time the rules were not yet established and for a period of about five centuries, followed each other definitions, adjustments, changes. Since the end of the fifteenth century took the initiation of strict rules that, despite some variations, were similar to those of today. Indeed, the current rules of the game just come from a variant of that.

The game is, as the price affordable by all, but it is very complex, requires deep reflection, strategies and processes. Not all are able to play. It takes fine minds to make a good chess player.

The chessboard and its pieces can be performed in a wide variety of materials. It starts in fact from stone, metal, glass and leather, up to the wood or plastic. If the first materials are mostly used for the preparation of decorative elements, the latter is used in the daily game.

But there is always someone to wonder and to admire the performances of luxury, making these objects, something available to very few. Such as a checkerboard made on the surface of a table, for which a well-known sculptor has created pieces that evoke medieval warriors and situations. They are bronze with gold plating or silver and cost of eighty thousand Euros. This is your exclusive luxury.

Talking with several people about the concept and definition of luxury, are given individual interpretations, which have no similarity with each other.
Some people think that luxury is having a nice house, furnished with very expensive products from prestigious brands. Others felt that, on this house is so nice to have luxury furniture, but perhaps old, possibly supplemented by items of exquisite and handed down from generation to generation. Another interpretation of luxury home can be made of quality accessories, fine linens, from electrical and electronic equipment of last generation, and so on.
This different interpretation for a single situation can be repeated for other important and significant luxury goods.

But luxury can be defined in an abstract way, so a person can enjoy, compared to most people, more time for reading, hobbies, entertainment, vacation, walking, travel, fitness activities. Excluding this category the famous rich, it can be assumed that such privileges are the result of a previous hard work or the cunning of some lazy person who lives behind the others.

The writer has a normal life. He lives in a normal environment, with the usual comforts. He always worked hard and luxury has never known what it was.
But decided in recent times, to participate in the monthly courses to learn the art of cranio-sacral. The courses are held at no more than ten people at a time. In a beautiful natural environment. With a very experienced teacher who offers a health food, the quality is rarely seen in the best restaurants. Well, after a day of study and application, the concept of luxury was very clear: the enjoyment of a privilege of extreme luxury, very few of those for. The satisfaction, however, was not derived from this, but from being really good.
