“There are no eternal facts, just as there are no absolute truths.” (Friedrich Nietzsche)

“There are no eternal facts, just as there are no absolute truths.” (Friedrich Nietzsche) Nobody believes it but it's true. Everybody knows but nobody believes. It is said — and rightly so! — that we should never return to the places where we were happy. Places change, but that’s not all: we change too. We don't want places to change, but they change anyway, because that's what happens to everything when it passes through time. Another person's truth is not in what they reveal to you, but in what they cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you want to understand her, don't listen to what she says, but rather, what she doesn't say! “A lie goes halfway around the world before the truth has time to put on its pants.” (Winston Churchill) And we, above all, don't want to change, but we change anyway. There's nothing to do. They tell us "you look the same!" but what they want to say is "come on, you haven't changed as much as I feared: despite everything, you're still recognizable". As we get older, do we want places to stay the same, or do we pretend that we thought they were the same, to make our surprise seem greater, to counterbalance the surprise of those who haven't seen us for many years? Or do we secretly want places to grow old with us, to keep us company? Or that they close once and for all, so that homesickness can be exercised at will? In reality we have to accept that we live in a time of abundant lies, that when the truth is told no one believes it! "A lie can go around the world, while the truth puts on its shoes." The phrase is attributed to Mark Twain, and here too, it is not known for sure whether this alleged fact, or supposed truth, fits into the right shoes.
