Gambirasio Yara is a girl of 13 years which has been denied the opportunity to address that tumultuous period of life called "adolescence", that opens the door to the adult world, to launch a intense and complex work of building whether by those who, until yesterday, had children and suddenly no longer are. And the pain of the parents of Yara can not engage in a very emphatic that we all have children and grandchildren and know what uphill battle takes place daily between instinct the full protection of our puppies and the rational knowledge that, to encourage their growth and independence, we must let them go. How many times the mother Yara will arise the question: "and if I had not sent alone to return to her friends that tape recorder?" How many times will want to be able to charge back the clock of time and return three months ago to redraw the day when the daughter left home never to return again?
And how many times we too, along with you, we will be tempted to lock up our children in the home of a protected niche in which we think that evil can never enter, to accompany them for ever, holding their hands peering and the watchful eyes of the dangers that surround them, to live in place to ensure their full immunity from any form of suffering?
The dramatic story of Yara offers us, in his tragedy, the possibility of food for thought about our role alongside children and young grandchildren. This role must not be less in terms of presence, dialogue, reference ... but that requires our ability not to "clip the wings", "deny freedom", "replace them", even if in good faith, even whether to protect. The fear of living can not be the deterrent that removes all of the risks that we run and the painful events that all we face.
Yara's story, as told to our children and grandchildren should help them to become aware, probably more cautious, alert, able to manage their relationships and their relationships.
should not teach them the fear, the distrust of the other self, the anxiety in facing the responsibility for the growth ... .. In the society in which they live and will live there, it is true, the orcs from which it is right know how to defend themselves, but there is also love, solidarity, friendship, sharing and joy. If you do not teach them all this. ... Life would be very little. Olivia
