DEMOCRACY IS A DICTIONARY OF COLORS OVER THE RIGHT SCORE
The passage from anarchic to democratic consolidation began with the risking of the democratic mind.
-This guarantee is that the consolidation of democratic thought likewise began to have the victories of peoples.
-Iron for freedom of thought, and in any case impartial-

The intellectual peculiarity of our century is the ability to be a personality. The number 1 issue of the world personality is freedom, but one that each person must understand as his own. Hello, do you give meaning? To rights? If a person is free, he no longer sees himself through the eyes of the other. Free, Jaspers writes, man is in an impartial standpoint. Skepticism occupies a special place in the question of freedom and in the emancipation of man. The moral reasons for skepticism lie in the fact that dogmatism closes you in on yourself and discourages you, besides imposing itself on you. Aldous Huxley said that every person's right is to learn, to learn and to open the mind. Skepticism in American political thought occupies an important place in its positive consequences, even in Gabriel Naudé's argument that in a certain way the main cause of censorship is precisely fear of the despot.
In countries of dictatorship, with ideological and class fanaticism, the denial of free thought, debate and pluralism has been one of the causes of terror and misery, of unfruitful knowledge. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the new democracies have moved toward affirming their political, economic and cultural identity, and a special role is played precisely by free thought. We Albanians, rooted for a long time in isolation, cannot fail to feel the need for a new climate. The lack of tolerance, dialogue and argument destroys the very foundations of democracy.
Freedom of thought requires responsibility. Democracy is not chaos, nor insults, nor a market of petty interests. It is an order built on precise rules and on respect for the other. Democracy is a dictionary of colors over a right score. The freer the colors are, the more necessary the score is. Only in this way does the art of civic coexistence gain meaning.
If we understand democracy only as the freedom to say everything against everyone, without norms and without moderation, we will lose its meaning. Freedom must be linked to reason, to culture, to citizenship. The opposite leads to sliding into anarchy or into a new form of imposition.
In this sense, the passage from a vague state of thought to a more mature democratic climate cannot come without effort. It begins with the risking [?] of the mind and with overcoming the old fear. The victory of peoples does not come by itself, but when they understand that free thought is not a luxury, but a condition of public life.
