today I’m going to talk about compassion empathy
that of putting ourselves in another’s shoes and
walk by his side in his pain in his
grieving in your addiction
when I was four years old
my parents separated Europe went my
mama silvia my sister inés and laura and
I was left homeless at the end of
beginning of the eighties government
military there was little work and my mom
I had work but it was not very good
payment
so she reinforced with raffles rifaba
anything rifaba cosmetics rifaba
plates cups things from your marriage and
up to a hammer once when
did nap or forget the
numbers the numbers were a cardboard
divided into squares of 100 that
he played at night because neither the
mendoza
I took it to take them to sell
numbers I at five had
decided to help calls you to create my
little sisters one afternoon he went out to sell
numbers and hit a neighbor’s door
and merchant but we all knew
I asked him if he wanted to buy a number
for a raffle
He said yes and made me pass his
intentions were not those his intentions
they were raping me
and he did stole my childhood he stole my
He stole my innocence all at school
nobody asked me what was wrong
He asked why I stopped writing
neat because he cried for no reason or
because I started to lower the ratings
on the second grade
the teacher went through the bank and gave my
ravine notebook from my desk and
directed the direction of sadam day of my
arm and I was shaking 21 swimmers that
he told me you do not have to come here
they can go to school Mongolian side
of course the school next door was for kids
with different abilities like syndrome
down
If it was, I knew there had been at that moment
that I was being violated if I had
known of the terror he had that he
fulfill his word to rape me
sacred little sister that little empathy had
that lady with me and how important
it would have been that he had her maybe not
I counted
I felt dirty unworthy I did not want to live
in my head I heard noises I heard
noises heard blows
how to explain it was annoying not what
I could think one day I could not do more with the
noises
and I threw myself head down from a car type
almost died and when he came to himself we
took to the hospital
says my old woman I do not remember anything
to the hospital lagomaggiore near home
the noises ceased for 24 hours because
I lost consciousness the rivers followed
one afternoon my rapist the school pami
take it to my teacher an apple
orange I do not know what it was and he greeted me
but he greeted me a dirty way and the
noises returned this playground
and I threw myself upside down tree because
the rivers did not stop
once again the noises for not by 24
hours after that hit
something changed to I started to see patterns
in things framed in letter numbers
in words
I think it was the blow they took me from
emergency to the fleming hospital where
curiously the doctor who saw me that
day has just spoken
the albino doctor thanks dr he me
knocked down a euro to a neurologist
I do not know if the blow woke up in me the
epilepsy or the patterns but that day
changed and changed everything
something also changed at that moment I
violated once more and for the last time
because I realized that I could run
tired of his threats tired of having
fear I said I’m going to run because I do not have
nothing to lose
He took everything from me and practiced running and
If I wanted to tell someone what
we had done that llama had threatened
to do it and get to tell him why
he has nothing left to lose all
so I learned to run to save my
life as the lion zebra
luckily in those years too
appeared empathetic people like my
grandmother speck that with her mantle her love her
house covered us very little one appears a
family daniel mónica and her three children and
brothers daniel a very thinker type a
very serious guy but he hugged me with
food hugged me with clothes hugged us
with vegetables from his farm and he took me to
walk to see spectacular places
Marta’s mother also appeared luke
she kissed me with hot water shower
of hot water that we did not have at home
I sat at the table of your family a
honor
I really bought beautiful clothes that
my house was always celebrated a lot and I
gives a kiss on the forehead and said hello
negrito changed everything
so simple
at 10 years old we went to live for
iata and acquaintances
many people but one especially us
she had a chikito restaurant in the
commercial villa and we lived
back in his apartment and he
comments like silvia my mom was that
logo a guy bought four myths the
payment I came looking for you you want it
had done for us who knew that
We were going hungry
that and a lot of things more empathy
thanks to empathy today I am
talking to here thanks to them that
they did not give me the important back in the
empathy
thanks to daniel thank you. thank you
Marta thanks Peru because her love and her
love was not in vain
I’m here
how important is empathy in life
from the people
one believes that it is not so much not today
I’m married to her yes we have two girls
I have a house in a car, I have a job
I’m happy when I was very young we did not go
to live in the United States where they were born
the girls until it was time to go back
I got tired of running and escaping and here
we’re
one day my nephew Matías who is a musician
he wrote a song to me to me
write a song and we are listening
the and this song spoke lived dreamer
live a fighter who is a kid today
family that today has love that today has
everything asks that he won his life
I did not see myself if it was already off
tired and I thought if this kid of 20 years
You can see me like that and you do not know all my
story like I’m not going to see myself like that
I started working that day on my
remember me and who was then a Tuesday
a card and figurones is fulfilled and me
I put on this suit that I married
sushi in 1999
I went to the highway junction and
zapata at six in the morning to the
semaphores where I had noticed that
there was a fight that there were fights that
I hate people that sheput is already going this
stupid that broke my mirror this
moment I can blame hit me
cut and I thought I can fix this
place
I can make this change with a
idea of the cartels
I thought I could make a change there
then that Tuesday I went to the knot
road with my first sign below the
arm and I brought and I did not dare to open it
for fear of rejection
then I started to calculate what I gave him
I say time patterns at traffic lights
and the cars in the amount that
they passed and I realized that they were 45
seconds of red for 45 seconds duty
of the reds are mine the greens are of
them while they have red and open me
Carter and people can read it and
monteverde scene where the cars
I propose something under my arm to not
cause an accident but I did not cheer up
the 7 35 had already calculated many
gt patterns repeated
I stopped and opened my first poster as well
and my poster said they smile because they’re
alive and that’s why today can be a
beautiful day and the first thing I saw was
smiles and the second I saw more smile
and the third smiles 150 times open the
poster this morning and all I saw was
smiles and I said in the right place
the next day it came out in a local newspaper with
another poster where they nicknamed me the
motivator of new vial people started to
realize that I was there and the
people began to notice I imagine that
they thought and with so little a mine and
fibrones this type can change me the
day
I can also do something started
to come out ideas to fulfill my dreams
my dream was of dreams many but
some were open dining rooms and we opened 1
and allies to several open schools or
shelter homes for people in
street situation or vulnerability for
that do not suffer so much salt and diaries
I went on TV they appear in reports by
everywhere because it’s something different
we open a facebook page with my
wife and one of the posters for example
of 35 million and past visits or more
things change with so little not
so I want to ask you something
let’s help us help those who are
fallen do not leave us there as such if not
they would have helped me to get up that
it would be my life’s life
I ask you to do it because when
you have
the privilege of changing a life not
only that life is changing but
the following generations
and that’s a worthwhile idea
share thanks
I will not leave my partner
