“But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?”

“Su Nenniri”, s’antigu connottu sardu chi abbisat sa Pasca.

Cun s’arribu de sa Pasca, in biddas meda de sa Sardigna torrat unu de sos connottos prus antigos e ammaghiantes de s’isula:”su Nenniri”. Si tratta de chimizones de ranu o atteros semenes creschidos a s’iscuru, chi affigurant sa torrada a bida e s’isperantzia, ligados a sos ritos de sa Chida Santa. S’ammanitzu incuminzat parizzas dies prima de Pasca, sos semenes benint postos a brotare in bottos pitticcos, a s’ispissu prattos o canisteddos,cuzigados e attesu dae sa lughe. In custa manera creschent fines,craros e delicados, leande unu colore giallu chisinathu tipicu meda.

Sa forma insoro chidrina e s’aera casi de “sufferentzia” crischiant comente iscromba su sacriffitziu e sa morte de Cristus. In su mentres de sa Chida Santa,”is nenniris” che benint leados in cresia e impittados pro adornare sas tumbas, sos artares pro su Giovia Santu. In carchi bidda benint postos cun contivizu particulare impare a frores,qandelas e pannos, creande bistas simples ma prenas de signifficu.Est unu zestu chi aunit fede e connottu populare, chi andat dae ingendra a ingendra.

In comunidades meda, mescamente in sas biddas prus pitticcas, s’ammaniada de sos nenniri est fintzas unu mamentu de cundivisione.A s’ispissu sunt sas feminas e sos bezzos a si nde occupare, impare cun zovanos, chi gai imparant su balore de custos ritos antigos. Custu connottu tenet raighinas attesu meda, mancari ligadas fintzas a ritos de sa laurantza prima de Cristu, chi tzelebraiant su cursu de sa natura e sa torrada a bida pustis de s’jerru.Cun su tempus, custos signifficos si sunt intritzados cun sa religione cristiana, dande vida a una cosa chi oe mustrat impare morte e torrada a bida.

“Su nenniri” non est solu unu elementu de decoradura, ma unu signu fungudu de sa cultura sarda. In d’unu mundu chi cambiat a sa lestra, custos connottos sighint a bivere gratzias a sa memoria de sas comunidades e a su disizu de no perdere sas raighinas insoro.Cun sa Pasca chi est accanta, cussos chimizones divennint gai unu nuntzu simple ma forte:pustis de donzi tempus buggiu, sa vida agatta semper sa manera de torrare a naschere.
