Pascual When the psychologist, arrived at the asylum, as he did every Wednesday, noted a degree of nervousness among the staff. Long ago I was watching in the center a certain uneasiness among the elderly. Was explained in part because he had to deal with people who, in the eyes of society, had become a nuisance to the population.
The people who were aware of the void was the paper that had been neglected and that it did not make too much of his work as a school psychologist. In recent years had significantly increased deaths of residents, mostly for having lost the will to live.
director approached him.
- Pascual, you know that Mr. Zaforteza has attempted suicide?.
- As if he, in fact, attempt suicide ...
Zaforteza old man was more game center. He became famous in the center, to be published on the internet, on Facebook, the code of business conduct which had been for nearly fifty years, his company. Based on them, was dedicated to removing the items that the company did not comply and when he published the results, they were a real bomb on Facebook. Its code of conduct "fixed" was nothing more than an index and lots of blank pages.
When he reached the room Zaforteza, Pascual knocked and entered the room.
With bandages on his wrists Mr. Zaforteza greeted his psychologist. Pascual
looked into warm eyes framed by bushy white eyebrows. Then his gaze wandered up the wall and reread the email printed Attac had sent him to acknowledge his claim to which had been his business.
- What happened, Zaforteza?.
- I'm tired, Pascual. Tired of living in this world that is like a landfill. I'm tired of vegetating here without being able to contribute something to society, a society that is also hypocritical. I've been wanting to change life a society that I like and maybe that is the reason for my unease. I've never managed to do anything significant. For years I have been an accomplice for having my mouth shut at the company where he worked, knowing what they did. My excuse was a family, a mortgage ... I could not afford to lose my job. Do not know how sorry I left my children in a dunghill as this one. And here I am, held at this center, unable to do anything.
- I'm sure you've done many things for society.
- Claro. I contributed money to many NGOs, I paid my taxes and I have let a lot of politicians live like kings with my money.
- And his article on Facebook ...
- Maybe that last one, was the only thing in my life ...
- Vamos - Pascual said -. That he has nothing left to do and therefore, decides to commit suicide.
- Well, yes. Precisely.
- I do not agree with you. If you continue to live for nothing ... Perhaps something inside him prevents him from going to another neighborhood, without having what you want to do for society.
- And what I can do?.
- So scathing comments - Pascual said - I can think of something ... How do you live now?.
- From a miserable pension, like all old.
- And who will pay?.
- the state.
- then we could say that you work for the administration, right?.
- Yes. But they pay me for, precisely, do nothing.
- is a matter of how we interpret it, right?.
- Well, yeah.
- Then work for your country, Zaforteza - Pascual said.
- What?.
- a moment ago, said that politicians live like pashas, \u200b\u200bthanks to taxes. I interpret it like they are stealing from those who work. Then help to expose those who steal ...
- How?.
- In the same way you did with your company ...
- But I had a lot of years there and knew.
- Well. Well now we have to start over.
- How?. Do not know where to start.
- the moment would be a matter of looking for people whose job seekers can help what you do. Lawyers, prosecutors, administrators, politicians, judges ...
- And what do I do with them?.
- I ride an NGO dedicated to research, including a website for anyone to contribute data.
- Nobody will. Provide no data.
- I see no, Zaforteza. Let your mind fly. If you start to get hit, will never try. What I say, can be done. I'm sure there will be many in the administration officials eager to unburden his conscience, bring data. If we can carry out a single case, the rest will follow. Are you ready?.
- Yeah, right.
When Pascual reached the office of the school's director, after explaining his conversation he said:
- I have the suspicion that just opened Pandora's box to instill a desire to live Zaforteza.
- Time will tell, Pascual. At the moment I see that much movement here. Many small groups, many conversations and much laughter ...
- We'll see ...
