Two
weeks ago I was fortunate enough to attend the 10th Conference
of the Mental Health Association
of my city. The
opening speech for this conference was to be pronounced by my admired Professor Don FMP and he gave it the suggesting title, “Mental Health Problems: manipulation, fear,
hatred and fanaticism”.
It wasn’t the first time that I listened to him and
I do think he did not let down any of the assistants thanks to
the wisdom of his speech, the depth of his thoughts and his easiness
for communicating what he wants to say.
He explained in a
very suggestive way how cogitation develops at a mental level and the emotions
that lead to criminal behaviour, how the political and economic powers have planted fear seeds in the citizen's mind in an insidious but persistent way in order to leave him defenseless and intimidated as to make us accept the economic crisis that is striking the
West is something against which we cannot fight and that the state of
well-being is an obsolete construction we do not even
deserve for being lazy and
spendthrift.
There were many more
interesting things but I want to end this humble chronicle with a quote that
touched me for its simplicity and significance:
“A falling tree is noisier than a
growing forest”, I always chose the
second option. Congratulations and
thank you Mr. Francisco.
