It’s news once more Max Thompsondue to his supposed state of mental health, which would present anguish and symptoms associated with depression.
In a handwritten note, the rugby player sentenced to life imprisonment for his participation in the assassination of Fernando Baez Sosahas written days ago to another detainee: “that he feels claustrophobia and excuse me”, since he had been kicking the mailbox, a name used to call the current cell.
However, what has attracted the most attention is his request to be visited by a pastor and to ask for the The Bible as reading and recreation material. Here paths are opened to think regarding the factual and the psychic.
Tactics and strategy? It is known both by him and his colleagues that in some penal units there are pavilions with special characteristics, more physical care if you will: the “evangelical pavilions”.
Taking into account the public degree of the case and the sentence, for the moment the defendant is with a measure called RIF (Protection of Physical Integrity). Now, this situation might change from moment to moment and Máximo Thompsen might be exposed in a common pavilion.
The harsh message of the young woman who gave CPR to Fernando, following the sentence: “Cry now, garbage”
Can we think that it is a planning approach the spiritual life catholic to reach benefits? Or can we give the benefit of the doubt and believe in repentance before Almighty God?
Let’s put revenge aside to reason. Religion can be thought of as a symbolic order, a nostalgia for the Father, Freud said. The father figure that protects, that protects, that forgives and that acquits. Although in parenting we also know the importance of the paternal role what orders, limitteaches rules, rights and obligations.
Maximo Thompsen asked for a Bible: is he getting closer to God?
A law that operates in the psychic apparatus so that unconscious repression exists and we abide by reality and not the unbridled enjoyment of what can generate pleasure by doing harm, such as sadism and other perversions.
and likewise this same law is lovingbecause when it works as it should, it allows us to live in society, to see the other as a person who feels the same as me and to be empathetic.
It is very simplistic to see only this side, but very complex to talk to you in a note regarding all the emotional evolution in which we find ourselves going through in our growth. Still, dare I say that the running of the bulls, is a sport little known by Thompsen and he will be able to approach the law, he will be able to pray in the name of the father, but what is done is done.
