At some point in his life, César had realised that no one ever learns from anyone else's mistakes and, consequently, there was only one dignified and proper attitude to be taken by a guardian - which, after all, was what he was - and that consisted in sitting down next to his young ward, taking her by the hand and listening, with infinite kindness, to the evolving story of her loves and griefs, whilst nature took its own wise and inevitable course.
César understood that people rarely learn from the mistakes of others. After contemplating this reality, he recognized the most honorable role he could play as a guardian was not to impose his views or judgments. Instead, he resolved to adopt a supportive approach, embodying patience and compassion.
By sitting beside his young ward and holding her hand, César aimed to create a safe space where she could openly share her experiences, both joyful and sorrowful. He believed in allowing her journey to unfold naturally, trusting in the wisdom of life's challenges and victories to guide her growth.
