When I was a child I had
the chance to learn some concepts of Physics without having studied them. I
used to live in a place called Rodrigues Alves which was a kind of village
pertaining to the municipality of Cruzeiro do Sul in Acre. If you were going
down the Juruá river it was on the left margin of it. The small town was
established in a terra firma at this side of the river. The opposite side was a
kind of wetland. It was lower and the vegetation seemed to be smaller than on the
other side. I liked to shout anything so that I could listen to my voice
echoing some seconds the shout was released. I didn’t know that this kind of
event was linked to Acoustics which I studied some years later as a subfield of
Physics.
Another moment that I could
have the opportunity to observe my knowledge of another concept of Physics
happened when I got in touch with a tap to wash up my hands to clean up the
dirties around them. I turned on the tap and the water started to flow down so
that I could have my hands washed. There was a kind of lid for the water not to
flow completely of the sink. It was becoming full of water and I got scared to
wed all the ground. Then I pull it out the sink and the lid seemed to be sucked
and my hands too. I felt frightened by that sucking hole that appeared to take
my hands away from me. I didn’t know but that was said to be gravity force
which Sire Isaac Newton had studied long time ago. It was another concept of
Physics I could have the chance to have a contact with.
Many of these concepts I
didn’t know. Health, security, and education were kinds of notions a little bit
away from my humble comprehension. Justice was a far light in the dark horizon
of our lives. I learned this. It became very hard to deal with and to ask for
them to be offered to the people. I grew up a little more and some shadows
started to be seen as something clear to my mind.
Nowadays I see Brazilian
justice conveniently acting as quick as possible for some cases. I see the IRS Justice
Department working in a speed that deserves a fine. But it comes to see Justice
working for the common citizen it takes many years for it to happen. I used to
assign my wife and my children as my dependants to the IRS. She also handed in her
IRS Declaration of revenues yearly. I was prosecuted and had even an Arrest
Order issued by the IRS justice in a matter of a few days or months. I was
almost sent to jail because I declared her as my dependant and had her yearly incomes
summed up to my revenues which was seen by the IRS justice as a necessity to
pay for more taxes. After some rectifying demands I had her name count out my
IRS Declaration but it was not recognized by the “system” in the same speed previously
applied to catch me up.
I am a teacher of English
to the Federal University of Acre. I have my common wage but sometimes we are
asked to do an extra activity which provides us some extra bucks. In 2009 I
took part in two groups of professors to prepare two English tests for post-graduation
applicants. The first test was applied, some students got their grades, and the
professors got their payments. The second test followed the same procedures
regarding the application and grades attribution. But related to payment it did
not happen. The university refused to pay and the teachers issued a process against
the institution to receive for their work force. No payment for a work executed,
the only way to get it in the pocket is asking for the Federal Justice to order
the university to do it. It was in 2009, and no payment was done until now. The
Federal Justice said it was fair and we deserved the payment, but the
institution recurring not to pay any moment. The sad point about this is that
is a serious and executed work, and it was budgeted in an amount of money close
to US$ 1,700 that time. Probably the cost the process took surmounts more than
this money requested for a fair payment. Justice in this case is not so fast. It
kills us of despair and disbelief. The last move the process did was in October
2011 when it went for the recourse team. No judge provided justice for something
previously considered fair and legal to demand for. Should I really believe in
a Justice like this?
If Physics laws were
applied by our judges the same way water in the sink it would probably work
faster, better, and just. If Justice could be followed in small steps and truly
safer, the Judges orders would echoing for more people like those cries I used
to give in order to listen the sound of my voice returning after having reached
the other side of the river.
I could not claim those
discoveries because Sir Isaac Newton had already done that. But related to
Justice, I’m still waiting for the concepts of “speed” and “gravity force” not
to be only vague notions some people are capable of mastering them.
Honesty is the best policy.
Even Justice should notice this.
