My grandmother used to say that conscience is this little voice that, inside us, tells us what must be done. And then added with a sigh:
“The problem is, there's a lot of noise in the world. People now have difficulty hearing their conscience.
'My grandmother was therefore a skeptical person. What she didn't know is that the world evolves – and that there are always new ways to get people the message they need to hear. The following story is an example...
From the first day of class, it was clear that Edmundo was out to create a mess. He was new to school; the father, the manager of a large company, had just been transferred to the city. It would be expected, therefore, that Edmundo would approach us, introduce himself, try to make friends. That is not what happened. He walked in, a tall, handsome young man, very well dressed, wearing strange dark glasses. He didn't greet anyone; he chose a place at the back of the room, sat down, took a magazine from his backpack, opened it, and read. We watched him, silent. Finally, Jorge, who between us played the role of public relations, approached him:
- My name is Jorge. We already know you're new here at school, and in town. Wouldn't you like to meet the rest of the gang?
Edmundo looked at him for a moment:
“After,” he said dryly. – Now I'm reading.
