communal
I attended every morning it’s at
place of Valais sociability it’s
a popular university for
beginners politicians that is the bistro
I took my coffee there quite often
an architect friend of keen art lovers
Japanese culture but join and of
from time to time my friend was clearly
irritated
sometimes it was for reasons
which I do not
will not extend to me other times it was
because he is extremely
dissatisfied either with a collaborator or
of a craftsman who had not done well
worked who had made mistakes
and he told me he must establish in
Swiss
the spirit of the samurai who commits suicide
rather than do wrong or commit suicide
because he did wrong that they are going
obviously at the time when we were doing
come foreign workers for
work on construction sites
if we would have seen them invite them to
commit suicide whenever there is
difficulty the roofs there is a problem
practice no but finally we are in
a decadent society in which
everyone tolerates the faults of others and
in the end we go to a society that
will not be able to do any more work
quality
the spirit of the samurai must be
located in martigny in valais
other than wish good luck but
I still think enough
often wondering if there was
not something true in if he’s
overall the samurai spirit
it is the spirit of the one who from
departure has the will to succeed and
achieve perfection in his work
who considers that the slightest weakness
is such that it is disgraced it can
go to suicide but finally it’s
in any case a loss of
self-esteem and loss
of consideration of what they
know this craftsman or 7 people
so it’s true that we
other Western societies is a
society can not say forgiveness but
in any case a company in
which in the blur over the centuries
developed the idea that the error
as said the earlier a
socrates phrase that appeared on
the screen that the error is a chance of
bounce the error can improve
things
I wondered if it was always
the case but I remembered the limit
from 10 pts you know the myth
Oedipus
when he gets to Thebes he has to
to cross a gorge where there is a
cruel animal a sphinx that poses a
question to individuals by asking them
what is the animal that this morning at four
paws at noon on both legs and evening
three-legged
you know the answer since the dip
is the short man says lab and paris
he is confronted with this question
but if he’s wrong he’s sent in
the sets and disappears if they
succeed and the sphinx that falls that
free theme of this terror with
all the suite besides not very
happy for them said but finally he
becomes the king of this city
so it’s digital if you allow me
expression
or by successful and one is saved or
well we do not succeed and we all die
also his oriental tales in
which king is wondering who will give
his daughter and launches an investigation into the
kingdom invites people who want to get
confront a question of coming if he
find it the right answer they have the
hand of the princess six years the
wrong answers and well we get them
cut off the head and wait for the next
then there is a part of our
civilization that has little in the way of
the samurai spirit says it must
succeed
or else failure
ex in motion punishable from another
side the other udder to pala la
Greek tradition the other udder of
our culture is obviously the
Christianity which made spring the
promotion of forgiveness and
mercy again today it’s
said pretty fluently so I was
watched texts and I was surprised
by a number of things
first text I looked at this is
a math text in which there is
a discussion between jesus stone and
stone says how many times does it take
to forgive say that one must forgive
this time we know that the number 7
represents in the Hebrew culture
an absolute number answer is no I
do not want to forgive once not
forgiven this time you have to forgive
70 times this time ie
forgive that but if we continue to
read the same text of this mathieu on
see the next page in parable that
is quite curious and that contradicts
the idea that you have to forgive 70 times
this time it is the parable of the master
who did not follow the advice that
have just been given to us
considers that what they owe him
money to throat
he summons his a debtor and the
debtor finger a sum
considerable and the debtor throws himself
at the foot of the master and then Sunday in
listen to a family if you force me
to throat I’m not going to succeed
survive then the master tell him well
I give you melting money or
well how are you telling a debt
it is a melting debt well task of
refund me when it’s possible but
vampait is give up looking to me
refund immediately
the man goes out he sees his own
debtors who owes him much less
he grabbed him by the throat and told him
rarely money otherwise I will make you
Send to jail
so we think where m that his debtor
and reacts so with respect to his
own debtor he summons them on
the bitters eluded you exaggerated you have
not what I did myself
so now you’re going to give me everything
the money and he sends it to jail
that is, the
sorry in Christianity that’s
always a bit more complicated than the
simple things that animates now
number of fanatics
Christianity there are always two
expressions and truth that is expressed
he says from side forgive 70 x 7 x
is on the other side
yes but if you even be unable
to forgive others then you do not
you will not be forgiven
I think it’s just a lesson
of life
a society that is not capable of
give someone a second chance
is well worth the trouble
hardly develop to be effective
and to allow everyone to find his
place then as I was curious a
moment I referred another case
who is in the genesis that is
interesting also this is the case of 15
you know that when you have beautiful because
that he was jealous of his brother that a
was a farmer at their calm
abel I think it’s a nomad or the
otherwise he had approaches
different from the economic and
that having killed his brother feels all
an unfortunate blow to what is
arrived is the eternal puts him a
brand is more than a sunday with that
I will be pursued and we will kill myself
and the eternal tells him ah no he who
will kill one who is the murderer
will be punished this time also it means
Acutely on other terms
the assassin protect it’s still
something quite extraordinary that
is basically the foundation of a
civilization in which revenge
is not private revenge is public
is the one who followed the revenge
public must be protected for lack of
what the one who digests would be a
private vengeance and sentenced continued
for a very long time
so
that’s all that’s considerations
very high it needed a translation
political and institutional this
vision of forgiveness and the ability to
make a moral mistake or mistake
all in all and from this relay it was
work for centuries of
thinkers and especially smuggling
the time of the lights and the first
chapter that are attacked this is
obviously the criminal chapter since
the penal chapter is by definition
even the chapter that is closest
the question of the offense and penalties
to use the term of a book that has
been very famous of bekkaria on
offenses and penalties
it was the first who said that
penalties were to be used to prevent
scare people who would be tempted
to do the same thing compensated the
the offense does and to correct itself in the
criminal field
we started by thinking of a certain
number of countries
the best way to give a new
chance to someone is to avoid the
death penalty remember I was
child to scat badinter proposed to
remove the death penalty we were there
with a group of friends two cousins of
side of my wife’s family
and among our interlocutors there was
a soldier a little noisy and a little
simplistic in this reasoning it’s up to
say having the type proof has for
his part makes hamma views
fellowship and fraternity
then the blow taken by the excess he said
after all the death penalty it did not
never hurt anyone
so sir to see him anyway from
good in any case it avoids who
start again we give him no second
luck and you see we were
people in today’s theme so
the abolition of the death penalty is
the first time you fall from a
clear way of saying everyone should
have a second chance then there is
all other new elements of the
criminal codes that appeared during
of seven and for example out of 6 who
allows someone not to run
his sentence to the extent that he does not
did not return an offense against the order
public
there is also the prescription which is a
little bit like debt that is
mentioned earlier in the Jewish
There was the so-called jubilee sfac
all to and 50 years debts
were canceled but as they are
people practice in principle the twenty
last years before the jubilee he
avoid lending too much to be not
sentenced to see their disappearance
still be wary a little of the good ones
feelings of human beings sometimes he
there are some who try to
take advantage of the situation with a
certain skill
short prescription
it’s the decision that after a certain
time
the crime is no longer prosecuted
even though he was not prosecuted
previously
simply it is estimated that if someone
for 20 30 or 40 years I’m the
limitation period did nothing to
objectionable
well he benefited from a second
chance of fact and we accept that he does
will not be prosecuted
and here we have to see that our
company that otherwise tries
to be extremely liberal sometimes
even excessively liberal with regard to
some cases returned back
in Switzerland we voted
the imprescriptibility of certain
offenses in other words we gave up
to give a second chance even
with the passage of time to some
offenders who had committed
crimes including the famous crimes of
Pedophilia with consequences
pretty surprisingly I have not if you
remember a few years ago the
car that had happened to novel
polanski
when he came to Zurich
a film festival
a prize awarded to him by the
festival when he got off the plane he did
not received by committee of
festival reception but by two
policemen who took him away because
thirty years ago he had committed a
the united states a crime against the
minors and as a result he had
committed the offense of pedophilia who
came to Switzerland to be considered
as an imprescriptible crime at the
television had to defend the
point of view of or in switzerland I
dear dear friend swiss people has
decided a fortnight ago or three
weeks I think it was a few
weeks before that guy from now on
of crime and is imprescriptible then
do not blame us for having
stopped polanski when he came to
the Swiss invitation to Switzerland
do exactly what you want and
one of the leaders of this action that
had resulted in the initiative wrote me
hearing is a scandal that’s because
we wanted it because we want
must choose
always is it that in this area
so we are rather with the risk of not
not give a second chance in
other areas
the second chance must exist by
definition it’s in the field of
science science by definition it’s
an intellectual effort to discover
the reality to reveal the reality
are based on assumptions that are
challenged and which can be
challenged and in the end sometimes we
notes that they do not correspond
to reality then is at this
moment there is a new
hypothesis that is made the mistake of
recognition of the error the right to
the error is by definition the engine
of science is essential and there is
not men
the only danger is that as the
science is by definition skeptical
as we do not all know to be
human particular says sometimes that we
knows that about 10% of the
functioning of the human being in
the plane we do not all know some
say since we do not know all
any price is as true as
what is called medicine
scientist and we see blooming all
a series of theory I confess jascha
this way and there is a big tree
regularly I see people there
it’s the tree’s turn that tries to
to commune with the force of nature in
a time there is in the hotel from to
side a group that practices the scream
primal or the duration of the sun
I meet in the forest once or
the other a charming who I am a
moment and then when I understood the
situation I make it to go when
even
drink a classic white glass for
stabilize
my vision of the world
so the second chance it does not take
that it becomes a chance to make
whatever
the problem is we do not know
when you have a second chance
when one is about to switch to
policy
the second chance exists in the
democratic system you know
what they say about certain democracies
Africans have said African democracy
a man a voice once if there is
no second chance in our
democratic systems by definition
there is a second chance second
chance we can propose something if
it was reborn we can remove it we can
yourself to be a candidate for a place and
another problem of men
politics is that you also have
a second chance but the second
luck is something a little bit more
context in this case and especially
the decision must be adhered to
that we have not agreed
admitting that it’s the rules of the game
and people sometimes accept if we
does not accept the rules of the game it’s
we are excluded from the political game
or we do not believe at all anymore
they say politicians it’s this
who has recently arrived in France
in short I believe that second chance
but second chance smart and
something without which a
society can not survive
share the fact that if there is no
second chance or forgiveness there is the
risk of continual revenge that
starts with the madness of
mimicry as we say the destruction
mutual revenge and
against vengeance in forgiveness and without
accept mistakes
although that’s an element but
especially our companies can not
progress that if she gives gives a
second chance without naivety to all
and which allow to progress in the
science in politics in life
human also so I would finish I
believe I had a sentence but I
forget in the meantime
so it’s good that he did not
bet we are still at the samurai
which is really formidable like the
bear that we saw earlier
appear on the ice floe it makes me
scared these companies worry me a little
besides that worries me a little
sometimes groups of tourists
Japanese that I see walking around
honestly I would not have to do
part but and are customers in
strong currencies we receive them well
gladly then my final conclusion
it is forgiveness and the right to error
it’s like poison at paracelsus
small doses
it reinforces in large doses that you
vivid forgiveness thank you
[Applause]
