Amy Winehouse e la ricerca della felicita'

Una ricerca condotta da medici americani indica che in media se sei una rockstar, la tua vita sara' molto piu' breve. E la tua morte sara' molto piu' violenta.

Da anni ormai le ricerche degli psicologi di tutti il mondo sulla felicita' hanno dimostrato che questo concetto tanto sfuggente quanto inseguito nei secoli da filosofi e da tutte le persone, che ne vogliono una parte, non e' per niente legato ai bonus che una rockstar o qualsiasi altro divo tanto invidiato ha: fama e soldi.

Una volta raggiunto un reddito che permette di vivere senza rinunce ai bisogni di base, un successivo aumento di reddito non comporta un aumento di felicita' ,anzi, se per sostenere tale reddito occorre lavorare moltissimo, magari in un ambiente che non si ama, la felicita' e la soddisfazione per la propria vita scendono.

Due terzi dei vincitori della lotteria in America hanno mostrato come la felicita' non sia legata neanche ad una vincita milionaria: dopo la prima euforia infatti, tutti hanno speso i milioni che avevano vinto per ritornare al loro stato iniziale, la zona di comfort dove stavano bene. E' un effettto psicologico della nostra mente, che cerca veramente quello che fa meglio per noi, cioe' l'armonia, il benessere fisico e mentale e delle attivita' che ci soddisfano. I soldi non rientrano nell'equazione. E la fama neppure.

Questo viene ampiamente dimostrato dai tanti divi e dive che nonostante sembrino avere tutto dalla vita, in realta' lottano contro un mostro invisibile che li tortura, a volte fino ad ucciderli. Basti pensare al geniale Joker del nuovo film di Batman, morto suicida a gennaio del 2008.

Amy Winehouse ha fatto storia con le sue scorribande per le strade saltando nelle macchine di sconosciuti, picchiando i fan durante i concerti, mostrandosi in pubblico con le narici ancora piene di cocaina. In uno degli ultimi concerti, dopo poche canzoni cantate penosamente, ha lasciato il microfono a meta' performance e se ne e' andata, insultando il pubblico che giustamente fischiava.

Amy, come tanti altri come lei, probabilmente non sta facendo quello che ama nella vita (sembra incredibile per molti...) o comunque non riesce a trovare soddisfazione dalle sue performance, dalla sua bellissima musica, e deve quindi rifugiarsi nel suo piccolo mondo fatto di droghe e alcool. Solito copione, purtroppo.

Amy Winehouse was booed off stage on the first date on her UK tour last night after she showed up drunk and turned the concert into a tribute to her jailed husband, Blake Fielder-Civil. Mumbling and taunting the audience, Winehouse slurred her way through four songs before dropping the microphone and walking off stage. The Sun reports:
And as fans tired of the mumbling star and began booing, Amy turned on her audience. She said: "Let me tell you something. First of all, if you're booing you're a mug for buying a ticket. Second to all the people booing - just wait till my husband gets out."...Dressed in a tight black miniskirt and with her see-through top showing off her black bra, at one point her boobs almost popped out after she lost her balance. Her closing number was Valerie but before she got to the end she stopped singing, dropped the microphone and walked off stage. Fan James Dyas was one of those who walked out demanding his money back. He said: "She came on stage half an hour late. She managed four songs but was slurring her words and swaying all over the place. She fell into the guitar stand and dropped the microphone - it was atrocious. The song she dedicated to her husband was so bad it was like swinging a cat round your head."Well, Amy does kinda have a good point. If you bought a ticket to this show, you're pretty dumb. Of course it was gonna end up like this. Amy Winehouse has two priorities: drunk and high. Performing for you isn't really her thing. Unless rambling idiots and alcoholic seizures do it for you. You'd probably be more entertained at a boat show.

Amy Winehouse has been warned she must quit drugs or risk death. The troubled singer was hospitalised on Monday after fainting and was kept in last night for further tests to establish why she collapsed.
A source revealed to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Eventually she won't get up again. "The only thing to stop that happening is if she quits drugs." Doctors believe Amy's blackout could be linked to her drugs overdose last summer.
The 24-year-old star had several seizures last year and tests allegedly revealed her condition was linked to drugs. She was told at the time to get clean or run the risk of continuing medical problems.
The source added: "After this, it looks like they were right." Worried friends believe the singer - who is due to perform at the Glastonbury music festival and Nelson Mandela's birthday celebrations later this month - needs to take a break from music in order to recover.
A friend said: "She should not work for at least six months. It is irresponsible of her team to keep putting her on stage. "She needs to get away from temptations." Amy's dad Mitch - who is keeping a vigil by her bedside at The London Clinic - said yesterday: "She's doing fine." Her spokesperson said: "Amy is still having tests done. They want to keep her in for observation. Her father is still by her side."
