She will say that I am presumptuous, in the best case she will think that I am an illusion, in any case will not give credit to my words, shaking the head imperceptibly and with a slight pleased smile will stand there, stop to listen to me, perhaps a little worried about this my new way of seeing things.
But I say to you, my lady, that it is not far away the day when those who do not believe me will have to believe; and he will come to me to tell me that he knew, that he always knew, and that he was just about to think about me.
I will smile to them benevolent: because there is nothing heavier for a loser, than to give reason to a winner who smiles at him.
I will be sincere in my smile, because happiness is contagious and above all I will be surrounded by those who supported me in the dark and future times of my history, those who had the delicacy of being close in silence, of coming to read my words without spreading them to the wind of those who could not understand them, who told me the right words at the right time: that I remember them all their names, their faces, and their words.
Of all the others we will take the good they give us.
But you, my lady, who spent years listening to my words and who still sits patient and smiling, you will have your story beyond mine.
What happened then
Years later, I can confirm that in more than one (I remember at least three) came to me to tell me I was right. Yet it was a satisfaction from nothing, there is no happiness in discovering that someone wronged you and now admits it. The damage was done. Yet there is an imperceptible transformation in me, a confirmation that my instinct is right, that I am not the cretin that they wanted me to believe that they were, the one that was wrong while they were right. Thus nourishes that inner part of me who knew he was right even if all were contrary, and seizes the nectar of comfort and strengthens and although aware that error is always possible, me and my Parties comfort each other, and be recognized in this passage gives us strength united with caution.
