Have you ever been in a situation where you can do something and then look for a presence, a look of encouragement, a smile of encouragement? Have you ever seen a post on your personal page that only one person " lit up" or "contributed", for many years? If so, congratulations, you have someone who not only has faith in you but is ready to be by your side in all circumstances.
In a society of many friends and many friends, the story of Ousmane Dembele and Moustapha Diatta is a testament to the trust and eternal friendship. They met in Rennes, when Dembele was a shy, talented football boy, but seemed out of place for those around him. Diatta was then a shoulder to lean on, a sincerity, a motivation, an eternal belief for his friend...
People say, "trust is not something that should be given out haphazardly, but it is not something that should be kept hidden forever". Many will ask why Diatta has such absolute confidence in Dembele. It is difficult to explain, but clearly, Diatta did not hide or give it haphazardly, even when his friend had a "disaster" in his Barcelona debut (September 28 is the 9th anniversary).
What if Dembele had not won the Ballon d'Or for the rest of his life? It's okay for Diatta, as friendship with Dembele is the most sacred thing. Friendship is based on the value of trust. I believe that the other person will not abandon me, even in the darkest moments. I believe that after all the noise, there is still a warm place to return to, a solid place to rest on.
In an era where there can be so many "inconvincing things that cannot be explained" that trust in each other seems to have become too much of a luxury. Sometimes I even doubt myself. Therefore, we need a Diatta for ourselves, daring to believe in inner value, in all circumstances. And vice versa, we can also choose to be someone's "Diatta", quietly standing behind, giving unconditional trust.
Because sometimes, just one hand ready to give, when everything out there turns around, is more valuable than everything.
