“He cares about nothing. If they cut off the water to his house he says: ‘Never mind! Winter is close.‘And if they stop the electricity for an hour he yawns: 'Never mind, the sun is enough’ If they threaten to lower his pay he says 'Never mind! I’ll give up alcohol and tobacco for a month.’ And if they take him to prison he says: 'Never mind, I’ll be alone with myself for a while in the company of memories’ And if they return him to his house he says: 'Never mind! This is my home’ I said to him once, angrily: 'How will you live tomorrow?’ He said: 'Tomorrow does not concern me. It’s an idea that does not seduce me. I am what I am: nothing will change me, just as I will change nothing, so don’t keep the sun off me!’ I said to him: 'I am not Alexander the Great and I am not Diogenes’ And he said: 'But indifference is a philosophy It’s an attribute of hope.”
