Verde in fata

"Mișcarea aripilor unui fluture azi poate produce o mică schimbare a atmosferei. Din această cauză și de-a lungul unei anumite perioade de timp, atmosfera se va schimba. Peste o luna poate, o tornadă care trebuia să lovească coasta Indoneziei nu va mai apărea. Sau din contră, tocmai din această cauză va apărea."

Anii 2000: Cainii vagabonzi sunt o problema. Nu indeajuns de mare incat sa se ajunga la o decizie radicala. Se paseaza de la o administratie la alta, nimeni nu face nimic, mizeria se baga sub pres, banii vin si se duc. Unde? Nimeni nu stie. Las-o, ba, ca merge asa.

Decembrie 2008 la o asociatie vine o femeie cu un caine. Il castreaza, ii pune crotal si ii da drumul. After all, e Ajunul Craciunului, femeia are de luat cadouri pe ultima suta de metri, ultimul lucru de care mai avea nevoie este un catel.

In acelasi timp, o alta femeie ramane insarcinata cu cel de-al doilea baietel, care se naste in 2009.

O firma achizitioneaza un teren. Are planuri mari cu terenul, dar criza ii prinde in offsaid, asa ca pe teren nu se mai intampla absolut nimic. Se degradeaza si in timp apare o spartura in ceea ce ar fi trebuit sa fie gardul care proteja terenul.

Undeva in 2011: Cineva de la ADP poate are traseu intr-o zi pe acolo sa verifice proprietatea aia. Nu e nimic, lasa ca se duce alta data, azi e cam nasol afara, mai bine nu iese pe teren. A doua zi a si uitat.

2013: bunica baietelului nascut in 2009 se decide sa mearga in alt parc decat cel obisnuit. Se aseaza pe banca si lasa copiii sa se joace. Ar putea sa stea cu ei, langa ei, cine stie, poate cade cel mic pe treptele toboganului, dar e cam obosita in dimineata asta, picioarele ii fac iar probleme.

E o dramatizare a unor fapte reale, mai prost sau mai bine facuta. Insa este una din cele mai bune dovezi ale efectului de fluture. O schimbare oricat de mica in conditiile initiale nu ar mai fi dus la tragedia asta. Da, sigur, am putea spune ca cea mai simpla era sa nu se duca bunica acolo.

Ceva din mine zice ca acolo este discutabil. Mai devreme sau mai tarziu copiii aia s-ar fi ratacit si tot i-ar fi dat ceva emotii bunicii care nu stie ca un copil de 4 ani si unul de 6 ani NU trebuie pierduti din raza vizuala nici macar o secunda atunci cand se afla in spatiul public. Motivele sunt multe, nu stau sa le enumar.

Dar cel mai sigur este ca o schimbare, oricat de mica in celelalte situatii nu ar mai fi dus, ani mai tarziu la moartea lui Ionut:

cineva care in loc sa stea la birou, sa se fi dus sa le aplice o amenda alora cu gardul
cineva care sa nu astepte sa primeasca o amenda, sa fi pus mana pe o bucata de plasa de doi metri, si sa o fi prins pe locul sparturii
cineva care a luat cainele acela, sa isi fi facut treaba pana la capat si sa isi asume si adoptarea lui.
cineva care in loc sa isi vada de propriul buzunar, sa isi fi vazut si de interesul comunitatii care l-a ales sa ii rezolve treburile, inclusiv maidanezii.

Si daca "cineva"-ul asta nu si-a facut treaba la un anumit moment, poate e acum momentul sa ne facem noi treaba de a schimba conditiile initiale pentru un viitor mai apropiat sau nu.

E un citat din Benjamin Button, care mie imi place foarte mult, pentru ca descrie exact acele mici actiuni sau inactiuni care duc la un deznodamant, uneori tragic:

“Sometimes we’re on a collision course, and we just don’t know it. Whether it’s by accident or by design, there’s not a thing we can do about it. A woman in Paris was on her way to go shopping, but she had forgotten her coat - went back to get it. When she had gotten her coat, the phone had rung, so she’d stopped to answer it; talked for a couple of minutes. While the woman was on the phone, Daisy was rehearsing for a performance at the Paris Opera House. And while she was rehearsing, the woman, off the phone now, had gone outside to get a taxi. Now a taxi driver had dropped off a fare earlier and had stopped to get a cup of coffee. And all the while, Daisy was rehearsing. And this cab driver, who dropped off the earlier fare; who’d stopped to get the cup of coffee, had picked up the lady who was going to shopping, and had missed getting an earlier cab. The taxi had to stop for a man crossing the street, who had left for work five minutes later than he normally did, because he forgot to set off his alarm. While that man, late for work, was crossing the street, Daisy had finished rehearsing, and was taking a shower. And while Daisy was showering, the taxi was waiting outside a boutique for the woman to pick up a package, which hadn’t been wrapped yet, because the girl who was supposed to wrap it had broken up with her boyfriend the night before, and forgot.

When the package was wrapped, the woman, who was back in the cab, was blocked by a delivery truck, all the while Daisy was getting dressed. The delivery truck pulled away and the taxi was able to move, while Daisy, the last to be dressed, waited for one of her friends, who had broken a shoelace. While the taxi was stopped, waiting for a traffic light, Daisy and her friend came out the back of the theater. And if only one thing had happened differently: if that shoelace hadn’t broken; or that delivery truck had moved moments earlier; or that package had been wrapped and ready, because the girl hadn’t broken up with her boyfriend; or that man had set his alarm and got up five minutes earlier; or that taxi driver hadn’t stopped for a cup of coffee; or that woman had remembered her coat, and got into an earlier cab, Daisy and her friend would’ve crossed the street, and the taxi would’ve driven by. But life being what it is - a series of intersecting lives and incidents, out of anyone’s control - that taxi did not go by, and that driver was momentarily distracted, and that taxi hit Daisy, and her leg was crushed.”
