for you
what is a human person
simple question obvious but complex
at a time
philosophers have always been
studied on my part I think it is
important or even urgent to rest the
question
so I was lucky twenty years ago
to meet father marie dominique
philippe theologian and philosopher his
teachings opened my eyes to
the notion of the human person and
the search for these purposes
he helped me structure my thinking
is to discover new
disciplines like philosophy
me who is basic training
engineer and business school he has
resumed studied as a philippe
of disciple of aristotle the four
main notions of every human being
so for aristotle the first
most obvious purpose more
immediate for him is the job
so we’ll set aside the
work proves a bit robotic know
the one we see in the movie the times
modern charlie chaplin and then I
do not think we can flourish
do not take the work in the broad sense
take an artist an artist what is he going to
do the work and days and
whole nights to create his work
a craftsman will shape the material of
these masts for the m following his ideas
or his plans an athlete he goes
train for hours to
do his time you see that there is
full of modalities of the word work of
this experience for aristotle the
work has an important place in our
lives and is an essential driver of our
blossoming
the second purpose of aristotle
it’s love to love love
philosophers have put several
graduation starting from the eros for our
carnal desires up to the agape
of divine love going through the
cameraderie lamonde friendship she spun
take these different modalities to
enrich for each of us our
sentimental life is effective
besides for aristotle morning of this
purpose is not time to love but
to know you’re loved back and that’s
in this relationship there that we can
touching happiness would exceed well
many of our selfish desires
for the 3rd purpose we make a small
test
so I’m going to ask you to
close your eyes do not worry
I think we are all alone
this afternoon so close your eyes and
you imagine yourself on a beautiful beach
nice to hear the birds from
little by little the sea you feel the
grains of sand on your skin you
are well
relax relax you two little ones
additional factors
small but size the first you
do not have a smartphone or tablet or
the awesome phone the
second this island paradise on
which you are and well it’s a
desert island
you have become robinson crusoe
fantastic no
robinson crusoe on a desert island
so now the question of this little
game could open your eyes if you
how long is it?
do you think of it as robinson crusoe
on this deserted island
for the risks for the addicts of
social networks
go we give you between one hour
even a day for any purchase
a week maybe a month that wants
try the adventure of being robinson
crusoe for a year
on this desert island paradise
but deserted and without phone
I’m watching I see much
of arms getting up and that’s where we
joined by a third purpose
of aristotle who the relationship the
community life in society
no we are not made to live
alone
the fourth finality of aristotle is
contemplation and there you can
do this exercise every day you
take a few minutes wherever you
be you can pray could meditate
you can contemplate the nature you
these moments will become
indispensable in your lives so if
we take up the four finality
of aristotle work love life in
society and contemplation think
that it is important for you to
all of us to watch how
they can interact in our lives
how can we put them
can implement them
how do we make tel in the end of
more humane account this afternoon you
listened to other spica when
fantastic things to tell you
for some or some of them
of them stopped one
moment in their lives and have tried to
find a meaning in a word he tries to
touch their purpose
but then in this case how
do we do for people in situation
of mental handicap
do they have a real place in the
society
do not we hide for fear
by comfort for us
for security one of the major issues of
our society today is
that she too can touch their
finality
so to illustrate my words I
realize I was telling you a few
meetings anecdote that I have with m la
first name is dominique us
have four months of difference I do not
would not say he’s older one the
my uncle we grew up together and
growing up together did
allow you to not see the disability and
the person above all feed and play
children have contributed significantly to
change my perspective on disability
I remember a meal of
family where dominique talked to me with
enthusiasm of making carpets
within his company
I realized at that moment
that work was very important
for him
you had allowed among others to
take a vacation they like to go from
from time to time on the beaches of
landing in normandy remember
that his father had been done
prisoner during the second war
World
or to go watch
football of his favorite team the
losc
aline strong of this relationship needed
rather filiation of course and 14h
for fourteen years that I work
in the area of mental handicap I
try hard to meet
schoolboys and high school students with
these people have changed their look
especially mathilde young college girl
who had come with his comrades
change activities during a
afternoon who comes to see me with a
big smile telling me sir
sir sir you had told me
they were nice but it’s true
since did educator studies
recently an educator who’s me
report the words of a mom
really marry who was everything
astonished to see that
Girls
now we said hello to them
girl when she is there the pool
thanks to these meetings
in the sports field now months
climbed to
it’s not my thing as soon as I get to
two meters this pretty much there I
flagellum I was paralyzed I do not
move more frederic him he climbs
like spiderman and he has a hemiplegia
on the right side
so with only one frederic arm
exceeds handicap
I do not tell you the joy he has
when he reached the top
another example xavier you had him
it’s our public relations m each
visit
hello how are you my name is
and xavier and you warm welcome no
xavier also loves riding
it did not take a lot of time to
climb on the back of boboul go ahead I
would like to see you there you climb on the
back of a horse
even if it’s a pony for louis I
a little query to do you because
that nicolas do not want to give it to me I
need nicolas de tony phone
parker
he knows I’m here this afternoon
yes he told me I want the number of
phone tony parker because I
want to play in his team
and yes louis basketball enthusiast he has
his license he trains all the
weeks and on Sunday he’s going to drink
often the matches of his team
favorite at the beginning nicolas their
coach was scared he was making me
part of his fears can not be
know how to make them play basketball or
their reactions a little unpredictable
since more than three centers come
play regularly at home have the
greatest joy of all and of
true friendships have been created
between them then sports games weighing
of the site and others rugby fencing
landman the pool see others who
are practiced regularly with these
people
the important choices to remember is
that we or our passions
fears for them to the
practical and like everything to everyone
and as sport does not have age I you
spoke of geneviève a lady of 65 years
which has among others a polyarthritis
she just discovered the handball he
indulge with joy and passion
it is enough for us to change a little
the rules in the artistic field
a lot she painting
see aurora likes to make copies of me
roy care with her adaptation she when
of an exhibition sale a lady was
fallen in awe at a painting
and l buy the chart in the nose at the
beard of guillaume’s mom because
this painting was beautiful and it proves
although they have talent to tell
still other anecdotes held fabien
and elodie or fabien your young man from a
thirty years beautifully the des
autistic disorders not good she three
things among others the first one he likes
the pretty educator I can tell you
he has very good taste
the second he likes to go to Savoy
every year on vacation
he has family origins the
third knows all the step parker
it is a cynophilic state informed elodie and
the saying is our little ray of sunshine
little woman always smiling
we like to play little sketches
between us at that moment I become
prince igor taking the princess
Elodie the Median years in Toulouse
I needed it and I put three guards
in front of sylvain philippe eric there is this
moment there of course the ryan soldier well
then save the anecdotes I
tell you others that I
could you just ask this is
maybe to retain this sentence that
I read recently she had been she
was written by a Belgian artist the
disabled person
no need for good feelings she has
just need to give him a place
to exist
so now it’s up to you to play yes
meet the welcomed them pass them
of time with it opened downstairs they
will you open their hearts thank you for
them
[Applause]
