Question

One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist in England, I brought David into my office. His face was pale and he looked at his own feet.

David lost his father when he was two years old and lived with his mother and grandfather ever since. But when he was 13, his grandfather died and his mother was killed in a car accident. His teacher told me that he refused to talk to others from then on.

David didn’t say a word. As he was leaving, I put my hand on his shoulder. “Come back next week if you like.” I said.

He came and I suggested we play a game of chess. He agreed. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon — in complete silence. Usually, he arrived earlier than we agreed. It seemed that he liked to be with me.

Maybe I gave David something. But I learned more from him. I learned that time makes it possible to get over what seems to be painful. David showed me how to help people like him.
