There is a point in time When compromises and concessions do not satisfy anymore When the call for the plain truth knocks at the door of our heart. There is a point in time When, after a series of hesitations After delaying the making of the right decision for whatever reasons A moment of strength and light suddenly arises. There is a point in time That a deep feeling propels us To act with conviction When we finally have the courage to not back away anymore. In these moments, We feel, we know that backing away is not an option anymore. We feel the eyes of our destiny upon us Urging us to make a lasting impact on the events. Pilate felt it very strongly Knowing that he could not compromise anymore Nor continue to listen to other voices, The voice of bad faith. Confronted with the ultimate obstacle He displayed a unique determination And boldly defended the truth: What I have written, I have written. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++= (Originally written in French on March 26, 2016)
