Un homme d’environ ton âge te sollicite à cause de problèmes financiers. C’est un voisin ou bien quelqu’un de très proche de ton lieu de résidence. Il te dit qu’il a besoin d’argent pour se nourrir. Son comportement est contraignant. Il a subi un deuil récemment. Il ne s’agit pas nécessairement ici du deuil d’une personne, mais d’un deuil au sens large du terme. Il veut que tu calmes sa souffrance. Il ère dans les parcs et ce qu’il raconte aux gens est souvent un non-sens. Cet homme a davantage besoin d’une aide psychologique ou psychiatrique plutôt que de ton soutien financier. Tu dois te méfier de lui, car il est souvent autoritaire, exaspérant et imprévisible. Tout aide que tu pourrais lui apporter ne doit pas être ici le résultat d’une question de morale, mais bien de sagesse. | Translation - English
A man of about the same age as you comes to you because of financial problems. It could be a neighbour or someone close to where you live. He tells you that he needs money for food. His behaviour is demanding. He recently went into mourning. Not mourning over a person, but mourning in a broader sense of the term. He wants you to ease his suffering. He wanders in parks and often tells people nonsense. This man is more in need of psychological or psychiatric help than your financial support. You must be wary of him because he is often bossy, exasperating and unpredictable. Any help that you might give him should not be the result of a moral question, but rather out of wisdom. |
