[Music]
in this room one in ten people has
received one day a call these shots of
wire we get a little early in the morning or
a little late at night and that make us
to move beyond our certainties the
certainty one second before the stroke of
is that life is good is that
the world of accident dramas
disability is for others who
have no skin and a second after
well we switch to discover that it is
also for oneself in our society that
philosophers call post modern
one where we summarize the meaning of life to
efficiency and performance
know it see it want it power
also appear with the networks
social
the challenge is major the major challenge because
that people who live these
accidents
forty thousand people each year in
France for 15 thousand of them
people who have a car accident
it’s the 15 25 years it’s faster on
the roads faster in the sports of
the extreme also as if life was
a great race
and then for 40 years and over and the
stroke
it’s the consequences of modern life
with the stress the sedentariness the
junk food and the consequences are the
same is that the brain that is the
command post and well am
not then this shock by this accident
vascular there are so-called
brain damage and its lesions
have a triple punishment
people wake up after
several weeks or months of
coma
forty thousand that makes a lot of people
and wakes up with handicap jeans
physical
many are wheelchair some
staggering
the other day fabien was telling me in the
street every day twice three times one
wonder if I have drunk too much
cognitive the cognitive impairment what is it
well it’s malfunctions on
the word about memory in our
simon houses of cyrene a lot of
people remember very well that they
were before the accident
they have trouble remembering this
that they did two hours ago they
have trouble speaking in a society of
the speech is complicated and then
perhaps the most complicated is the
psychic handicap the psyche celam who
Am I
who is the other who is our society
what is the meaning of my life and then
maybe behind that a question
fundamental that comes all of us
to challenge is the question of who is
the human being his amazing jacket because
that it is said that there were 130 billion
of human beings on earth
the previous 120 billion he had a
reality that was eminently local
for the most part of them a reality
from his village it was already 10 km
an adventure
today we are in a world village
where we are connected through the
social networks of information one is
connected to each other to 7 billion others
the time of a click and there arises a
fundamental question is the question
who is the human being
and you and this question of who l be
human she comes to put our society
in tension link us and it is the other
is so different the host is
so close and so different
is not there a risk for this
which is not a danger and we see I
are part of the generation that saw
young adults the berlin wall
collapsed
remember at the end we said end to
the time we were saying end of the story and
today I was reading recently we did not
never built so many walls
that today why are we
builds walls
because the great civilizational challenge
which we all face
but especially our children this is the
question of who is the man who is
the other who am I
and as long as we do not respond to this
question well there is a threat
most
it’s the threat of my own fear the
afraid of not being able to face
the other because if I do not know who
it is if I do not know who I am
then there is danger
so we are tempted to run on walls on
sees them build geopolitically
but maybe also walls to
inside itself as if
to protect oneself against the person
who wakes up after these long months of
coma I told you forty thousand
people
it’s a fairly recent figure it’s due to
the implantation of samu in the years
80 this implantation of samuel is
fascinating
let’s stop by second she’s
fascinating why she is fascinating
because by implanting the samu our
society makes the political choice
economic human scientist to say
your life is worth living
even when you are seriously injured
it’s so worth it that I
may have lived that I’m going to put
thousands of
people on standby
it costs billions every year to
our country at our taxes i’m going to put
thousands of
people on standby so that if I
get a call to say that you
have a stroke kills
a cranial trauma
within ten minutes a truck of
firefighter see a helicopter will arrive
to keep alive is brought to samu
ensues weeks or months of
coma the samu are implanted in the
80s it means forty thousand
people by thirty years one million two
a hundred thousand people then his entourage
immediate
six million people 10% of
French one in ten people in this
room and the question is latent
the question is aunt why is this
that we keep alive we are entitled to
ask it
the first person who does this is
the one who wakes up with his disability
and who was up to 17 years old up to 48
years old olivier 48 years old doctor in physics
nuclear
boss of a subsidiary of a large group
industrial dad of two children accident
cerebrovascular explosion of the
cell
family loneliness memory loss
social eschewing the net is fine
fragile and sends us back to all these challenges
which we face as if
reminded us that in a society that
tells us that our
the meaning of our life our successful life
it will be the performance and profitability
and know it and have it and olive well
the others come to remind us that we
know it with our children the 25
first years of our life are
fragile we know it with our elders the
Last 15-20 years of life are
fragile
it’s already 40 50 years of fragility and
the thirty years in the middle a breakup
emotional about 2 7 million people
disabled 10 million poorly housed 8
millions of unemployed or jobs
insecure
is not it so much that the
society is reconciled with fragility
is when we like that led
with this phone call that our certainties
explodes well we hear on waking
the disabled person does not turn but
Why
in a nutshell why did you tell me
keep alive why is that the
society makes the choice to keep me in
life for what meaning
for what reasons do we keep
life if you keep me alive that’s what
I hear in the lyrics groups
I still had one just now
it’s a guard alive for me to be
an object of care and that me
start the company
I must disconnect better than I can
to hear in people’s mouths
older ones too is there and well there is like
a prophetic rocker
you know he is prophet in our
noisy society the prophet is the one
who is able to shout to society there
where human dignity is flouted and
this prophetic word is that of
the most fragile person who is
wake up and who tells us why and its
second request
it’s a demand for power
incredible it’s a revolution
planetary
when she tells us I need
of you and all of a sudden in this
fragile person who tells me I need
of you
she just revealed that me who have
scared me building walls that me
I’m afraid of an eligible quest for ducey
this performance one day to be put into
walk because I’m going slower
this person there
10 but not afraid – is not so fast
I need you
I trust you you are able to
I am capable of you and there we
come to discover a fantastic
promises is that this value
citizen of the fraternity that is us
so expensive in France
it’s a value that when you’re in
a society that fights a totalitarianism
on performance a value that we
take to the fratricide
if you are only in the performance you
are a danger to me
the other is a danger to me in a
company that has been educated or since the
childhood notebook we are told
must be first class this risk
fratricide is major when listening
the word of this fragile person the
handicap for simon of cyrene the
older people for other excesses that
tell us I need you
well she comes to give me the audacity to
the relationship the audacity of otherness
otherness is the other the taste of
the other being able to hear each other
the other tell me together we can go
further and that’s what did germyn
and this project houses share simon
of shared house cyrene that were
mediatized because our president
honor philippe pozzo di borgo de
untouchable film made France dream
why did we arrive with this
movie but we did not dream what happens there
what is happening in our homes
share men and women
disabled people with disabilities
social or other social
when they are no longer afraid of each other
more afraid of fragility more afraid of
the difference discovers that conjugate our
differences is to make life spring
is bring out the boldness is doing
gushing from severe ajoie springs from taste
to live and ultimately is this what
taste of the other is not in our lives
pressed what’s left in the sieve at the
end of the day
maybe at the end of our lives what
rest it’s what happened is
all these moments we dared this relationship
trust to each other is that it’s
because of the end and what we
do well
so we have gathered a number of
people with disabilities and valid
people who became friends because they
were in the hospital after this accident
and then I listened to them
we listened to them tell us but you
know me since I’m disabled
my greatest suffering is through the
disability the greatest suffering and the
loneliness in a society that goes fast
loneliness is the big challenge of
each of us when we become a little
more fragile a little slower than the
other
we are all at risk
the good news we all are concerned
we go all ages or be able to say
to the other I need you fantastic
this breath that breath there is the know
not so old in the 30s
someone said there are races
higher and lower races that
said that we want to say hitler not du
it’s one of the greatest humanists
winston churchill you realize
the incredible evolution of consciousness
of the human being
what has happened and for
it only took ten years later
this awareness there happen to allow
the death camps
hiroshima the other different merit
to be exterminated and at that time
burst of consciousness of humanity in
1948 universal choice of the declaration
universal human rights
equality of human beings
thirty years later a man had a
prophetic echo in his first cry of
Pope John Paul II when he said
everywhere human dignity is flouted
we must feel concerned what
fantastic call for globalization
will be concerned with all the dignity
but is not crazy and and thirty years older
late the most powerful man in the world
is black but it’s not the end of
history because we see how much
risks of identity withdrawal how much
what the risk of putting back walls
come back soon
does not it belong to everyone
we to hear the word of the one who
tells us I need you and our
simon groups of cyrene nest these little
friendship groups where we discover everything
it just makes us feel good
hear the other say my suffering and the
solitude then under disabilities and where
we want together to meet for
simply animated in the cities
informal times friendship times
tables of hosts
we do not know who does not have any more
importance we let ourselves be called I
need you it makes me feel good that the
taste
and we see a little scene
untouchable Saturday after Saturday
day after day
today we have twelve associations in
France nearly 2000 people who taste
how good it is to be called by
his name to know how much our life has
sense
when one opens up to otherness and that
well we once dreamed together dreaming
left the medical-social institution that
is so necessary but that we have
want to leave because we are not
at home
and today all the professionals
accompany this movement there and
when you arrive home is there
people tell us I’m dying of
solitude
Manu was telling me at home it’s big
it’s beautiful but me alone and she has
melted into tears and there and well actually
have created these houses it’s housing
social is actually cohabiting with
disabled people and people
valid
everyone at his studio a bit like a
species of big guesthouses is a
couple of others and then a big living room
dining room kitchen and in those in
these places cohabit people
disabled young people sales to a
civic service
the other day geoffrey told me that
I was looking for years
a 19 year old here I got
found and he answered he cédric in
his wheelchair that said here I
am an extraordinary living of power
sprout these social places where
each of us cripple frail elderly
will be able to say I’m a living and this
project was valued because it was
laureate of the prize France undertakes to
the elysée which earned us the first
Prime Minister’s visit to one of
our houses in May that came
spend two hours saying it takes
houses everywhere like that in France
even in Lorient and when Fabien was
invited to the Elysee can we have been together
receive this high price the ten ministers
there were the 500 people that’s
even more impressive today
and he had this extraordinary word
he watched everyone
he said I ‘ll tell you an answer to
a question you dare not ask yourself
do not dare ask me what is my
handicap to my handicap
it is I am
but you know slowness it’s not
always a handicap when I
walks I walk slowly but when
I am with a friend the hard drive
Longer
and when we eat in our homes
share simon mermaid with our friends i
eat slowly but the party lasts longer
long time
and when I speak I speak long but
you do not listen better then fabien thank you
to you for your prophetic word and
I want to echo it I want
invite us to think each one for myself
finally say how does everyone
rather than denouncing a society that
is going too fast that is inhuman
how does everyone in his talents
in his skills where the city
call before each year we become
actor of a more fraternal society
