"And if it seems to you that I am in love with you"

"I guess that's just part of your imagination Don't blame what others say"

"Because I almost never call to tell you that I love you and more than once I did it to the wrong number"

"Almost no one ever says that I am in love with you..."

(not a literal translation, but I tried to keep the idea of ​​what the song says anyway xd)

hey, Leverage peeps, I've got a thought. I've seen a lot of posts and memes joking about Nate's inability to understand that his clients do not want money, they want revenge. I also find this funny. but I was thinking about it and I realized something: there's a personal reason behind it. there is a very, very good reason why Nate doesn't get that.

Nate's drive to lead Leverage, outside of the crew, originated from his son's death due to his insurance company's refusal to cover the bill for the required treatment. we all know this. if his company had paid for Sam's treatment, everything would've been fine.

…or, if Nate had been a little wealthier, had a little more change to spend… maybe he could've paid for it. maybe Blackpool never would've had a say in any of it. maybe Nate would've had everything under control from the start.

we've discussed at length in the fandom how money equals safety for some of the others in the crew (Parker and Hardison grew up with little to none and know its importance to survival, Eliot needs it to stay ahead of his old enemies, etc.), but I don't know that I've seen any discussion on how it's relevant to Nate. for him, however, money equals security in healthcare and in housing (he lost the house, remember?). Nate's older than the others. he remained in the same place for much longer, and he had a stable life for a while. the others haven't been in that position before. many of their clients, however, are at that place in life.

yes, for the others, money keeps them ahead of the game and it keeps them secure. but none of them ever lost a kid because they couldn't pay for healthcare. none of them risk losing the life of someone who is completely dependent on them when they don't have enough.

(Hardison, perhaps, has the closest understanding, considering he hacked a bank to pay for his Nana's healthcare. but he never lost her.)

Nate thinks ahead, you know? he has a long-term view of things. I imagine that for him, when clients refuse the money, they're not just refusing a month's worth of groceries, or a place to stay the night, or the ability to keep running. for him, they're refusing control over their hard-earned, stable, long-term living situation. they're refusing the potential to save a family member's life.

I dunno, guys. I think that's a pretty good reason to not understand why people don't want the money.

La relación latinoamericana con la muerte es fascinante. No digo que todo esté conectado con todo pero creo que mí profe de antropología estaba en una interesante cuando dijo que la colisión y el sincretismo del catolicismo mediterráneo con las creencias de América y de África generó algo muy interesante acá.

Ni sé por dónde empezar con esto pero lo que noto en Europa y en la América anglosajona es que la muerte es algo aparte de la vida. En América Latina al difunto se lo reza y se lo pide que rece, se lo tiene en distintos recordatorios en fechas y lugares físicos, es como una actitud cordial con los difuntos y la otra vida.

Yo en particular la veo de lejos porque yo, en mí experiencia personal, tengo como muy marcada la distinción entre vida y muerte. Pero tengo muchísimos conocidos y amigos que no. Que van al cementerio a pasar el día y tomar mates. Ni hablemos del Día de Muertos en México, por ejemplo, que tengo entendido que era una costumbre mucho más extendida. Es una cosa muy interesante.
