James with this conviction went in inn, an inn that he didn’t seen never, and he lived there by his birth; he entered in local and there was empty, but he listened a voice: “Good morning, James was very astonish and turned around, and whit goggle fixed with eyes the bench, but he didn’t nobody; a second time the same voice: “Good morning, what do you want, a coffee or cola, not, I think a whisky, do you want a whisky?”, and James followed the sound of voice and in fact he approached to bench, and improvise appeared a figure of man, and James scared asked: “Do you know Charles and Alfred?”, and bar- man: “Yes your friends”, and James nodded and barman: “Do you think that they are your friends?”, Alfred more scored than after, nodded and barman: “You can believe what do you want, but do you think that they are searching you now? If you are invisible because Charles has given to you black stone, and you are invisible they must search you, contrary not; therefore drink this whisky and after go away”, James drank whisky and he gone away; in street he seen persons and normal city, and turned to inn, this was disappeared, and he seen with attention; till and person stopped and looked James and: “You don’t believed that is happened, I too didn’t believed but after you will costumer”, James looked this foreign and asked: “Who ae you?”, and foreign: “Come with me”, and took hand of James and he leaded in front of his friends, James called with high voice both Alfred and Charles, but foreign tool him: “It is useless, because they can’t listened you, they are visible, look their eyes”, and in fact their eyes were goggle and James asked: “Why?” and foreign: “Because they are visible”, and James: “I see you now, and you are visible”, and foreign: “Exactly, for you, but to them not, they are now alone, we can look one other , and we are invisible, while they are visible and are alone; believe better to be invisible”, foreign went away and James looked still his friends, who continued called somebody that they didn’t seen, and other person approached to James and said: “Do you know because is better to unknown?” and James answered negatively, and this stranger: “Because when you are unknown, somebody who approaches to you makes it alone for you, and loves what you are, but not certainly for profit or interest, and more over you can make what do you want, because you must consider judge not, because you are anonymous, first freedom is to be free with himself, and after one will be freedom with other, with all, but if we start by ourselves, it is useless persuade other of valor of freedom if we not know have this valor, and first freedom is in not physical, but interior; and among much anonymous you are not one of many, but one freedom, this freedom now is for you unknown because you aren’t famous, when you are famous, you haven’t friends but interested, that want something by you, therefore it isn’t friendship but alone interest, and when you don’t give what a friend has asked, you haven’t friends, because one will inform other that you aren’t trustworthy, therefore you must be lift. When is interest isn’t friendship”, James tough this discourse and he has understood that it is was truth.
