His mother had been very much in love with a young man who was shot in the war. She never recovered from it. She died from colitis when he was a young child.
AnalysisThe theme of second hand love is prominent. His mother married someone else after the WW2, because her real love was shot by the Germans. He remarried a Brazilian woman after his marriage did not work. He chose computer jobs because he could not get a job in eastern languages. The remedy was found after he told me the story of his mother in the 5th consultation.
