The health craze in the society as
There are, in particular the spiritual connection that has been forming for about ten years now, the trend all'inasprimento health standards, particularly in public places, accompanied by an insistence on personal hygiene inculcated education and commercial advertising. Not investigate the hypothesis that there is less interest or type of underlying economic and political: if there were, the fact remains that you can impose something on the ground only if there is an element existing in it ready to receive the charges.
And indeed the craze of over-hygiene is not a new element comes from the actual instinctive need to preserve the health prevent possible infection. But we find it, veiled, even in the history of nations, religions of ritual purity. Remember Judaism, with its huge number of hygienic - that is mateiali spiritual ablution rites of Islam, the purification of Eastern doctrines and the Christian baptism.
could draw many parallels:
- including ablutions before entering a temple, and personal hygiene
- between the temple and his body
- you might consider hygiene as maintaining a state of isolation, a closed from the outside world, where the "dirt" symbolizes the influence of the outside world on our psyche-like you might look like a hygiene proiezionei on the material plane (a externally, and thus diminish it) the feeling of "filth" spiritual.
One could go on, every simile is a different perspective on the same symbol.
It 'also interesting to note that there is a psychic polarity on these facts: that which is highly sacred often borders on the unclean, and vice versa - see how they are treated mice and pigs throughout history in various religions peoples of the Mediterranean, or even think the cult of the phallus, which is also poised between adoration and loathing, and as the holy food and drink can give death to those who are not prepared to receive them - from ox blood to ' Christian Eucharist.
Until a symbol is alive, is not recognizable: it can only see who is out of his inflienza, who came from the vortex that drew him.
today that an over emphasis on hygiene, we can say that psychologically is welcome as it provides an outlet element of dissatisfaction and discomfort that might otherwise occur in a more destructive. I doubt that they can be easily understood by the mass of the reasons causing these delusions - in fact I doubt that this is even possible. Because the causes of the phenomenon ceases shall be eliminated for other reasons, or manifest their effects through other channels.
Until then, our company will be a prisoner of excess hygiene, along with other "quirks" inconvenience projected in social behavior such as love, respectability, and other "genuine" hypocrisy. Whether this is good or bad choice is a delicate and perhaps foolish.
In the physical aspects rather excessive hygiene can not be negative, similar in effect to a mother caring too much that suffocates the will of a child, imprisoning him in childhood make the body weak, unable to cope with any slightest adversity.
