Acts and Facts.

"It's more than just stating your identity; it's about showing who you are, as acknowledged and validated by others through evidence. This is reflected in actions and their consequences. Legacy, or what is simply visible, is communicated through the words of others. People often claim it doesn't matter, but it does. It constitutes the collection of historical records and references while also being admired, overlooked, shared, or endured. Although one can always pretend or put on a facade, that disguise can quickly unravel; even the act of pretending leads to descriptions and classifications that cannot be excused by claiming not to understand the true individual. It comes down to acts and facts. He couldn't recall the last time he had chosen not to leave the house or to open that door. Undoubtedly, he must have done so, but the reasons for staying there, locked in, were stronger than any other, even more potent than going out onto the balcony. In any case, it was raining, and it was a gray Sunday, with no desire to go outside for a walk. It was much more interesting to observe the appearances of some and the shamelessness of others in light of the resurgence of hypernationalism. Resurgence? No. It was always there, but the actions and facts were concealed because it was supposed to be frowned upon. Acts and facts for a civilization that, without a doubt, must end now. But it was not his place to say so. And he never did, despite the revolutions and resistance of the years that followed.

The cultural decline humanity is currently experiencing undermines evidence and rational discourse, fostering mere opinions rooted in fear and fallacy. This results in the misuse of language to justify the ensuing oppression, albeit unnecessarily. Knowledge does not seem to have genuine diffusion, and art itself fails to be that emancipation of spirit and conscience; it has become mere fashion. Art and knowledge are monetized, not valued, and in the same way, actions are weighed and the influence of events is scrutinized. Because it is a simple perspective. She considered running after him, but in the end, she chose not to. The thought lingered, revealing that this wasn't just about whether he would reciprocate. She certainly had every right not to pursue him, with all the reasons backing that choice. Yet, just one reason was enough for that moment to be remembered as one of bravery and uniqueness. He acted on his feelings, knowing it didn't depend on whether she followed him. Even years later, when they crossed paths, and she was with someone new, she found it hard to meet his eyes. He smiled gently, and she realized he hadn't ignited the spark she sought.

One could argue that humanity is currently facing tough circumstances; however, it is important to question when humanity has not faced difficulties. Hypocrisy has been set aside, fostering a collective understanding of the contradictions inherent in the systems we have adopted, even though it remains unclear whether this understanding will lead to significant results. It is then that we come to realize that knowledge alone is not enough (though it is necessary) and that it is intertwined with reason and conscience. When we identify something ineffective, needs change, or must be reinterpreted, it may define both the human experience and humanity itself as the species navigates its journey of decisions and actions.  It had been raining for several days, and he was getting used to the wonderful feeling of solitude again. He had experienced it during those beautiful months, at that moment on the boat, not missing anyone, busy, even on nights when he saw all the stars and imagined himself a traveler in the universe and in time. But he was there, in that house, far from the sea, closer to all the mountains. Living another life. He didn't miss the sea, but he knew it had allowed him to enjoy solitude all those years. His new freedom.

Saying it about yourself means nothing unless the truth or relevance of the version given is demonstrated. The significance of the act and the importance of the fact that impact, of course, allows for contradiction or ratification is what really shows about that person. Something so important in difficult times, which may have been difficult for many years, is that it is not a matter of intuiting but of recognizing. It is about understanding that only the truthfulness of humans can resolve contradictions. This is how the devil pays those who serve him well - he said it, and she was terribly angry about it. It distressed her, because it brought back memories of her grandmother's words in response to the accusations of others. Not her true actions. Her actions were years later. In any case, although she had always been an ambiguous woman, now she was doing everything possible to become a despicable woman. At least with her past. Or maybe she had always been that way. Still, the fascination with the longing that imagination created around her, like someone who creates a diva or a goddess, romanticized the possibility with her friends, her lovers, and especially him. Still, the despicable thing she was now had been alien to him for a long time".
