What happened at the house Big Brother VIP exceeded the limit of acceptable, exceeded the limit of any form of humanity, understandingproximity to difficulty manifested by a person, in this specific case by one of the competitors. We don’t know what it depends on and how it could have happened, but we can’t help but be impressed by it. violence people exercise, how little listening and tolerance there is today, and if we want to consider the reality show on Channel 5 a kind of microcosm, what has emerged in these hours is worrying.
For those who are not assiduous spectators of the reality show presented by Alfonso Signorini and, therefore, lacking the dynamics created in the Cinecittà house, it is enough to know that the story revolves around Marco Bellaviaex-face of Bim Bum Bam and quite famous on TV in the 80’s and 90’s. A brilliant boy who with time moved away from the small screen, only to return there as a competitor of Big Brother Vip, carrying with him a burden as uncomfortable as he is. delicate like that of depression.
It’s not easy to talk pathologies related to the mental and emotional sphere, especially in a context like Big Brother, where everything runs the risk of being spectacularized, effectively losing the importance that connotes it in everyday life, giving more credit to the spectacle than to the discomfort itself. The idea of normalizing the pain and suffering that comes from a certain mental condition can sometimes be a double-edged sword: if on the one hand it can show the fragility of man, on the other it can make him an object of ridicule, of marginalization.
Marco Bellavia cried several times, talked about his difficulties, expressed his discomfort without having to get dressed and looking straight into the room to do so, decided to share his state of mind with his companions, receiving in response a treatment that defines ignoble is little. He was told phrases such as “don’t you think you are the cause of your ills?“ is still”if it continues like this it runs the risk of being pathetic“,”we are not psychoanalysts, leave if you have problems“Finishing up with a terrible” deserves to be bullied”. It is not surprising, therefore, that when he made a sum of intolerances with himself and with the behavior of others, he decided to leave the house.
Where were you humanity who brought suffering as a pride? Who builds them featured on TV talking about their pain with too many tears to polish their eyes? Where empathythe desire to support a person in difficulty, in an extreme situation where – as every competitor who crosses the red door likes to say – everything is amplified?
None of those present at the Cinecittà house have a degree in psychology, no one has the necessary tools to show the light to a person shrouded in darkness, but sometimes it is enough to silence the protagonist for a moment and leave space for the need of others to humanity, a look accomplice, a hug, an extra sincere listening might not be enough, but perhaps they would make a man who tries to free himself from the demons that hold him feel less alone and in a cage. Instead, as is often the case, attacking others when you don’t have the ability to welcome them is the best way to not measure up to your own smallness. If they were also just complaints and not expressions of a dormant pain, the treatment should have been different.
It is not the right place, it is true, to deal in depth with such difficult, intricate and unfortunately unspoken subjects, it will not have been Big Brother to restore tranquility to Marco Bellavia, but humanity doesn’t need the right places and people to be shown to othersunderstanding and also pity, understood as pietasin the Latin style, which indicates that feeling of solidarity and sincere emotion towards those who suffer, they must not have fences, schedules and blocks on television, they must be unique stands and see before their eyes that this is not so, it is really disconcerting.
