THE BOX (by Lumen)
GUSTAVO - Teacher, you're always so quiet, so peaceful. But how do you do? I always feel tired, stressed, anxious.
LUMEN - I'm not surprised. It happens to many.
taste - but not you. How can you avoid it?
LUMEN - Well, it's all about this little box.
GUSTAVO - Bella. What is this? A good luck charm?
LUMEN - Of course not. I do not believe in certain things, myself.
GUSTAVO - Ah, I thought. So what?
LUMEN - Feel like tinkling?
GUSTAV - But what the hell is in there, maestro. You're making me die of curiosity.
LUMEN - Here we go.
GUSTAVO - Two white pills .-?
LUMEN - Exactly. Two small white pills.
GUSTAVO - No drugs, right?
LUMEN - But how can you think such a thing?
GUSTAVO - I apologize. So what?
LUMEN - simply a poison.
GUSTAVO - A poison?
LUMEN - Exactly. A painless but deadly poison.
taste - and what is it?
LUMEN - It seems obvious. To think of suicide when necessary.
taste - and it makes you feel better?
LUMEN - Sure. No stress, no anxiety, no worries.
GUSTAVO - Tell me a bit 'better.
LUMEN - Where do stress, anxiety and worries that poison our lives and make us age more than necessary?
GUSTAVO - Where?
LUMEN - From the fear of the future.
GUSTAVO - True.
LUMEN - We are anxious because we fear that the future will be the impact negative surprises, we fear that problems could not be adequately addressed and that put us in crisis. In other words, we fear that the future can be so unpleasant to take away the pleasure of living. At that point, what is left ?
GUSTAVO - What's left?
LUMEN - The thought of suicide, no? And it is precisely what I have prepared myself. With the box in my pocket I am calm and serene. As long as life is good, I enjoy it, when things in the future, we should put so sick that can not stand, I pull out of the box and ...
GUSTAVO - ... you commit suicide.
LUMEN - Of course not.
GUSTAV - But you said so.
LUMEN - I said that I think of suicide, not that I do. I limit myself to think about suicide, and this makes me feel better because I am master of my life.
GUSTAVO - Damn. E. .. working?
LUMEN - I would say so. You have not told you, first, which are always calm and serene? That never see me stressed?
GUSTAVO - Well, yes.
LUMEN - And then it means that it works.
