"The Eternity of Bravery and Truth"

You can tell when an individual has a stable, permanent core, because it will react differently, to different situations and inputs, and stand out. As the outside world changes, the individual does not, therefore it must bear the toll of remaining idle, against the strong currents and forces. It is like a human body, which roughly always maintains the same core temperature, and will fight until death to preserve its core temperature, no matter how cold or how hot the external ambient may be. Unlike leaves blowing in the wind, or jellyfish floating in the ocean's currents, giving up to the forces.

But only a stable and firm core can be a trustworthy meter for recognising change, namely something or someone that is worthy of honour and recognition, rendering truth. 

In fact, when great changes come, if an individual modifies itself and corrupts its core, to adapt and align to the changes it undergoes, fearing the consequences of not doing so, then such individual can not be considered fully trustworthy, but only relatively at the most, yet never worthy of any perpetual quality, given it decides to rather submit to change, at the price of giving up its steadiness; In the likely recurrence of this event, no matter how great the changes may be, no one would hardly notice them any longer, because such individuals would keep aligning to the changes, thus occulting the truth of the matter to themselves by choice, rendering difference and adversity as an illusion to fear and run from, and accomodating to comform towards a delusional regular, submissive and controlled pattern, a progressive and constant parallel evolution, adaptation.

But ask yourself, is it really better to live longer, and change, forsaking one's core, or rather live a rougher, probably shorter life, but honouring your true core, no matter how much hatred and adversity it may bring to fulfill such task?

Ever wondered why, the greatest thinkers and intellectuals, have monumental statues in the center of the greatest squares of the largest towns of the globe? Ever wondered why their names are written in blood...? Well, do not wonder any longer why their names are eternally worthy of admiration, and linked to ideas of bravery, justice, and intellectual purity: they we're willing to die, to pursue their ideal, and to preserve Truth, above all. 

Nowadays common people walk by their statues everyday maybe, never even take a glance. Within them lays a dark form of regret, deceit, maybe even a touch of guilt. They rather prolong their mediocre lifestyle as submissive creatures, comforted weaklings, hiding in the herd, safe. Damn the day security was considered more noble than bravery.
