The Plague We Live In (Part 3)

From outside, beyond the window, we heard somebody yelling.
What's happening? I asked.
Today we arrested some people that were protesting in front of the Seima.
Really?
They adverse the lockdown....Sorry, I see that I am disappointing you.
What makes you believe that?
Your face. It looks like...They broke the law. What do you think? We are the police, What are we supposed to do?
What you did, I suppose.
Yes, That's what we have to do. Before, you said surprised. What do you mean with surprised?
What I mean with surprised...Try to imagine someone who, when he speaks, speaks as if he should speak in the face of God. Someone who is in constant dialogue with a truth that could be assimilated to a God. That was Alvaro. He seemed to lack of every form of imperious Self. But instead, it seems that he was obsessed by this the imperious Self...
Imperious Self?
It is a psychic energy harmful to the human being. It comes from the deep unconscious and goes back to consciousness and annihilates it. It does away with any ethical value that we believed right and just. It expresses itself in the form of violent, uncontrollable and wild impulses and pushes us to think only of ourselves of our own pleasure. It can be the hell when you are not capable to harness it. And maybe Alvaro couldn't.
I see, that you are a writer. She laughed.
Do you laugh?
Yes, of course. You are very cleaver.
Is that a valid reason to laugh?... Let me insist on this point...ethical principles are like a cover story.
What do you mean?
They let see you the dog in front of you, they scare you about the potential damage that that dog can do to you if it jumps on you, but they don' let you see the tiger which is behind you. Or I should say inside you...they don't let see you the big beast which is inside you. Is it clear now?
Hhhhmmm....interesting.
I become suspicious, Strangely, she seemed she had no aversion towards me. I looked cautiously at her, for she had touched my leg with her knee.
Don't trust this official. I read her look.
