One of his children asked a good friend: “Dad, when you get older, who will take care of you?”; To which he replied without thinking too much: “My savings.” There are many possible scenarios in which this question can be asked differently. One can receive a lot of different responses. All probably try to be right. But the time of truth is always revealed in the final chapters. Àlex Garcia What we do know is that trusting that it is the State who must take care of us is something quite innocent because we all want gold benefits with silver budgets. Europe is a theme park of benefits and desires that everyone expresses and nobody wants to pay. Neither with hard work or really productivity. Look at Asia and see who the future belongs to. When one approaches a vulnerable moment, we must go to the place we have prepared to seek shelter, do you have to take care of the State? The family? The friends? A residence? A charitable order that wraps us? We all have the right and, above all, the duty to try to be prepared. There are blackouts that are absolutely inevitable, when physical and/or mental faculties decline. Neither biology nor time negotiate with our desires. Lee also Jordi Nadal when one approaches a vulnerable moment, we must go to the place we have prepared to look for shelter. This is something we all want, but it is not always within our reach and not always to our liking. In the fable of the three pigs, only one builds a solid house. Two of the three brothers are vulnerable to the wolf. Fighting for benefits is the duty of a country that governs well. Governing well is not to make a list of desires such as letters to the Magi. The secret for a child to receive a gift bicycle is to be able to buy it. The benefits are something that people receive depending on many variables: the wealth of their country, the possibilities that one has saved, the environment of the person who will need help … should we take care of ourselves alone, how would the hardest Darwinist version pray? Should we trust everything to those who are supposed to take care of us? If you want shadow in old age, you have to plant trees when you are young. There is no dignified old age without resources, whether material or spiritual. In vulnerability, support is needed. No one should wait to meet bitter surprises. When one is alone and it is said: “We have given everything and look where we are …”, something has not gone well. Gabriel García Márquez said that “the secret of good old age is nothing other than an honored pact with loneliness.” Therefore, family, friends, savings and reading should accompany us.
