¿Quién es ferchito?, cuando tenía 16 años tuve un amigo el cual conocí por su amabilidad, yo vivía en la calle, nunca tenía suficiente, andaba algo andrajoso y por lo regular, buscando plata para droga, la única salvación era encontrar a “ferchito”, recuerdo que un día llego y entro a la tienda del barrio, yo llegue corriendo y le dije que si me compraba un cigarrillo, el me miro y me dijo: -¿tienes hambre?- no tenía idea de que me haría tal consulta, pues no había comido muy bien desde hacía varios días, yo le dije que no, a lo cual él me dijo - vamos y comemos-, ese día me llevo a comer pollo y terminada la jornada me regalo para un paquete de cigarrillos.
A partir de ahí, empecé a andar con ferchito, su dadivosidad, su entrega y deseos de ayudar a los demás, siempre hacían una diferencia en todo y en todos. Ferchito nunca discutió conmigo por comida, nunca discutió porque le hizo falta dinero, nunca discutió por nada, siempre estuvo de buen humor, siempre hubo un corazón alegre, al punto de sacarse la comida de la boca y dársela a una persona que no hacia parte de su familia, yo.
Ese era ferchito, el menos presentable de todos, pero con un corazón enorme, marco mi vida durante mucho tiempo, me enseño las más grandes lecciones de generosidad con un plato de comida, su servicio, su amor y su entrega, lo llevaban a dar hasta lo último.
Los últimos años han sido pasados por pandemias, guerras y recesiones a nivel mundial, estos aspectos es probable que hallan intensificado nuestros índices de egoísmo y egocentrismo, así como otros males.
En la biblia aparece redactada una frase dicha por Jesús: “Mi alimento es hacer la voluntad del que me envió y terminar su obra”. En otras palabras, Jesús decía que su comida era agradar al padre, pensemos un poco, ¿Qué se dirá en estos tiempos? Salgamos de lo religioso, o quizás decimos, ¿mi alimento es amar a las personas o juzgarlas? ¿mi alimento es pensar cómo ayudar o compararme con ellas?, ¿las redes sociales y los medios masivos quizás no te están ofreciendo del todo el alimento correcto o eres tú el que estas decidiendo alimentarte de una manera incorrecta? Estos escritos me hacían recordar a mi amigo, cuando compartía su plato de comida conmigo o con aquellos que necesitaban una muestra de afecto y aceptación, entendía cuál era el tipo de alimento que saciaba a mi amigo ferchito. En tiempos donde quizás la sociedad nos impulsa a buscar saciarnos inadecuada y egoístamente, en el caso de ferchito siempre buscaba saciar a otros con su generosidad.
¿De qué te estas saciando? ¿Te estas alimentando de lo correcto?

Ferchito. who is ferchito? when I was 16 years old I had a friend who I met because of his kindness, I lived in the street, I never had enough, I was a little ragged and usually looking for money for drugs, the only salvation was to find "Ferchito", I remember that one day he came and entered the neighborhood store, I came running and told him if he would buy me a cigarette, I arrived running and I told him that if he bought me a cigarette, he looked at me and I had no idea that he would ask me such a question, because I had not eaten very well for several days, I said no, to which he told me - let's go and eat-, that day he took me to eat chicken and at the end of the day he gave me a pack of cigarettes. From then on, I began to walk with Ferchito, his generosity, his dedication and desire to help others, always made a difference in everything and everyone. Ferchito never argued with me for food, he never argued because he lacked money, he never argued for anything, he was always in a good mood, there was always a cheerful heart, to the point of taking food out of his mouth and giving it to a person who was not part of his family, me.That was Ferchito, the least presentable of all, but with a huge heart, he marked my life for a long time, he taught me the greatest lessons of generosity with a plate of food, his service, his love and his dedication, led him to give his last. The last few years have been spent with pandemics, wars and recessions worldwide, these aspects are likely to have intensified our rates of selfishness and self-centeredness, as well as other evils. In the Bible there is a phrase spoken by Jesus: "My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work". In other words, Jesus said that his food was to please the father, let's think a little, what will be said in these times? Let's get out of the religious, or maybe we say, is my food to love people or to judge them, is my food to think how to help or to compare myself with them, are social networks and mass media maybe not offering you the right food at all or are you the one who is deciding to feed yourself in the wrong way? These writings reminded me of my friend, when he shared his plate of food with me or with those who needed a sign of affection and acceptance, I understood what kind of food satiated my friend Ferchito. In times when perhaps society encourages us to seek to satiate ourselves inadequately and selfishly, in the case of Ferchito, he always sought to satiate others with his generosity.What are you satiating yourself with? Are you feeding yourself with the right things?
