Just wrote to John not to listen to the death knell for growth.

Hi John!

Greeting from Tehran!

I refer to your yesterday’s Listen carefully for the death knell for growth.. I was worried until I read “locals report that all this activity is being driven by foreign money. Nobody can work out how to use the flood of incoming capital.

I’m relaxed now. John you’ve got to know what it’s 'complexo de vira latas'.

Or in English ‘straw dog’ complex. Complex as a combination of emotions and impulses that have been rejected from awareness but still influence a person's behavior.

The Brazilian has this complex that he thinks he is at the merci of others. That they depend on some kind o approval to do something. That somewhere 16.000 Km away lie the source his problems or the solutions for them.

That somewhere there is some people who are first class and they are second class.

Thus, if you talk to them, they are always criticizing their own folks and leaders. I give you an example: Brazil has just been awarded the World Cup 2014. They, themselves are saying they cannot do it. That it is a mistake to try. Then the Cup goes to some place like Canada and they think that they are much able to execute some project. Always try to avoid talking with losers, John. The economy is booming and they are glooming.

Tell you what, the world has gone too complex for the uneducated to understand.

And by the way there won’t be a ‘flight to quality’ as you think.

Cheers

This letter also serves Atilla to filter waht his Brazilian friend says to him.
