A cultured person for me is
not someone with a deep knowledge on a number of subjects, someone who reads books, who goes to museums and to
the theatre, who travels and knows the world. A cultured person for me
is someone who does all this and more and tries to put his knowledge
and experience into practice in order to help reconstruct the world, a better
world. Being a cultured person is not something that comes naturally to us
humans. It is a daily mental and practical exercise against our inner
barbarity, against our ignorance.
