For example, in Italy I believe that the average is much lower than in Finland, from all points of view;
Except in confidence! Italians are awesomely confident in so many things - Finns are generally not.
it is also said that ignorance is the worst disease (but perhaps more than ignorance in this case these words refer to stupidity).
And it is a disease that I feel is catching on - it must be highly contagious! :d
My friend, more than security, I would define that of us Italians as presumption and, as I see it, it is a very bad flaw!
Yes, unfortunately, ignorance is a contagious disease and the tragedy is that the ignorant, those who are ignorant by choice, hardly accept the cure :-(
