I love socializing and because today i don’t socialize so much as i did in the past … i became deeper in the relationships that i have with the people from the timeline of my life.
Being involved in the renting business i deal with all kinds of people … from simple workers that works in constructions to art directors.
I always tried to be friendly with all of them and make them feel as at home in my houses.
Benjamin was also staying at me … by already half an year and i knew that i could count on him if something urgent was going to happen at my complex.
He was involved in constructions business and one day he was renting from me another house … for some friends of
him … that were going to be his new business partners.
Soon after … i gave them a connection with a guy i knew …. which signed a contract with their company … of $30k … and guess want?!
They started to fight who is actually the boss of the team and how they going to split the money.
Benjamin was suffering of depression … many years ago when he was in UK … but now he looked ok to me … till the moment when he calls .. saying that he is going to call police, because he thought that the other guys were going to come into the night to his house … brake the door and then kill him.
I did not know the other guys so well to agree or disagree with him … but i started to ask myself what was going on.
I let them stay in my houses, gave them a contract of $30k … he tells me that his new partners were his friends and is happy to be in the same team with them … then he comes with the scenario that those guys were going to kill him.
Quite … contradictory and i was not understanding this balance of his emotions, so i’ve asked:
“Are those guys your friends or your worst enemies?!
… i really don’t understand the story!”
But Benjamin was overwhelmed by his emotions and it was almost useless to talk to him.
He leaves the complex and goes for few days to his parents that were living far away from us.
I agreed with him … that this is the best choice cause things will calm down during this time.
But on Sunday … Clara … Benjamin’s wife calls me at the first hour … telling that she has a sewage problem at the house … and i need to help her urgently.
I said … “Fuck it! Who will i find at 7 am … Sunday … to help me to solve the problem?!”
I go in the complex, i knock on the door of his business partners … tell them about the problem and that i need their help.
They smiled asking …”What if we go there and he or his wife calls to police believing that we came to kill them?!
She is alone at home with the kids.”
Well … it was funny asking that … but they came, helped me and his wife was amazed that Benjamin’s enemies came to help.
She was not understanding what is going on either … and what to believe about Benjamin.
Calls Benjamin … tells him the story … but again he thought that something was wrong … cause he could not believe what we were telling him.
I was his friend.
Clara … was his wife.
But still … he was believing that those guys want to kill him.
We all realized that we can’t control the dance of his contradictory emotions … and just the passing of time will help him realize that this nightmare from his head was just an illusory scenario and that his mind was playing around
with him.
We just needed to wait … and let him calm down …
And i am sure that many times i’ve been as Benjamin … but did not realized it .. same as he is not seeing the things now … in the same way we see them.
