The novelty Obviously, this is not the General fact that men suffer. It is rather this singular fact: psychic suffering now becomes an element that the economy must take into account. Directly measurable poverty was long in the global or national statistics. Impossible to quantify, the disarray of the misery it saw in multiple individual tragedies. But, now, which broke out on the great day - through suicide in Renault or France Telecom, reports on the ravages of stress, initiatives of Xavier Darcos appellant companies Act-, it is a malaise of another order. Both real, visible, concern, but also difficult to définir everything as well as to treat.
Stress does not directly overwrites the body, he assaulted the soul, the internal balance, sense of self. Those that he injures or kills: people normally fed, housed properly. No question, at first glance, of flesh scarred, malnutrition, or unsanitary slums. If the body is détraque, it is under the effect of mental disorientation. These "normal" - integrated, inserted people, without apparent problem - eventually feel lost, lost, scared, despised, manipulated, unable, outdated, unnecessary, empty, anonymous.

It is as if, one day, they did feel more adjusted to themselves. Life influenza. Little by little, any malfunction. Instead a matter of balance and a minimum coherence, chaos and anxiety engulfing their existence. "It is not round, it caught, it skidded...". "They are almost always mechanical metaphors which indicate the lost landmarks, sense of stalemate and détraquement. "Too is too", they say also. But too many what Mixed: too much pressure, requirement, of objectives to be achieved, too much harassment, authority, mobility, too much indifference, deafness, of misunderstanding.
To get out we know at least what should not be. Proclaim that "psychologists are on the spot", came out of their barracks, hurried to the fire on the front of the fire. To fight the blame by saying that "overlooked human parameters", while humans, just be more parameters in a purely abstract design performance and profitability. It must also avoid entanglement in two radical and symmetrically harmful attitudes.
One is to continue as if nothing had, to overlook these calls and signals, to human beings humans to the profit and loss account. This cynical calculation is obviously false road - not because it is cynical, but because it is a calculation! The human question requires that we take seriously also which is not Computable and will not: what is purely qualitative, emotional, relational order. The other poison is to scream the need to put an end to capitalism, alleged inhumane by essence, and suggests the need to reverse the current order to save humanity. Contemporary history shows assez that these righteous destruction smacks of well pires apocalypse continues.
Then Without prejudice to the discussions that lie ahead, it is likely that possible reform and the alternatives are of the genus plaster and bits of string. That means not all ineffective or laughable. For humanity, indeed, the most simple is not unnecessary. Listen to a person, consider it, keep in mind the concern of his dignity, do not view it as a thing, an instrument, a cog, an anonymous object, this can invent to the detour of the corridor. It is just a bit of heart, next to the reason. This no doubt is eventually run out, so we have hypertrophied calculations, logic and the reign of the figures. But in their own way, these are actions that save. And saving us ourselves.
