fairy tales, as I have said repeatedly in this space, explain how many of the darkly subtle fears of this world. Our nature skeptical of these stories has been synonymous with falsehood, of illusion, but something deeper than our unbelief keeps us from forgetting that a hundred years of dreams can turn a curse into hope and that something evil, and dentex sometimes hides in bed grandmother. Thus, recent overt panic caused by the repeated announcement of the economic crisis are reflected in a literary tale by the Brothers Grimm, Elsa list. Elsa the list tells the story of a girl who is running the wind and hear the flies coughing. A young called John comes to ask for her hand, but on condition that Elsa judicious display. During the dinner that the girl's parents offer to her future husband, Elsa go into the cellar to draw beer. Once there, go on the roof a pickaxe that the builders have left carelessly and panic, begins to mourn, saying: "If I marry Hans, and we have a child, when he is older, we sent the cellar to draw beer, can tip the pickaxe in the head and kill him! ". Meanwhile parents, concerned about the delay, sent the maid to the basement to see what has happened. Elsa has her fears to the servant, and she gets to mourn with his mistress. Soon, parents send the servant to see what has happened to the maid, and it connects to the two women crying. The mother remains the servant, father and mother, and so the whole family is desperate cries and what could possibly happen someday. At last, John down to the basement and found all crying. When I explained the reason for the panic, offers to marry Elsa immediately. Beer, no one remembers.
The economic crisis has served, among other things, to send us to the basement to regret something that could possibly happen someday, and to unite in a feeling of anxiety and panic deliberately fostered, Prodeco instead, for example, to remove the peg that seems to threaten the life of a child is still lacking. Obviously, there are disasters that have actually happened: thousands have lost their jobs, homes or livelihoods, but not because of the pick that could ever fall on the heads of their children, but because of the panic created by political demagogues, unscrupulous financiers and journalists apocalyptic. For many, this panic has been extremely useful. Thanks to the fear engendered by his announcement, multimillion dollar companies have justified the dismissal of thousands of employees, banks' own profits have stripped usury buyers their homes more insolvent companies with exorbitant returns, and governments that always, everywhere, have allocated a fraction of the budgets for education, health or housing, colossal fortunes miraculously found that support financial institutions and the salary of their managers (as evidenced by another fairy tale, The young man could not shake with fear , and allows our leaders to take action that in no case be accepted in times of greater tranquility.
What if, as Elsa, we persist in our supposed cleverness? What will happen if, instead of reflecting with calm and intelligence on our circumstances, we allow ourselves to panic artificially created? Our fairy tale offers us a sobering end. Convinced of the readiness of his wife, John was sent to work in the field. But Elsa prefer to eat first and take a nap later, when John is going to get it, is asleep in the middle of uncut wheat. To punish her, covered with a net for catching birds, which hang dozens of small bells. Elsa wakes up, sees that has darkened, and hearing the tinkling of bells, is appalled and asks whether or not Elsa. " 'll go home and ask if it's me or not," say. "So I'll secure. " Upon arrival, call the window and yells: " Hans, is Elsa at home? "." Yes, "replied Juan . " If it is, then I'm not me, "exclaims Poor Elsa, who later fled the village and no one has heard from her.
The announced economic impoverishment is in the hands of political manipulators and financial impoverishment of cultural identity. It leads us to ignore who we are.
