thirst for knowledge
In Latin America there is a country that is the Dominican Republic, there is also a university that is the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo that teaches History and Anthropology in the Faculty of Humanities, in the last semester there is a student of that university degree who is in the library, there is a young man between 22 and 23 years old, skin color is white like salt, with deep dark brown eyes like the abyss of the sea, bright red hair, at first glance it is impossible to ignore in addition to his genetics, he is tall measuring 1.9 meters, glasses or glasses, staring at the laptop, in it there are endless words, it is the thesis of this young man.
The title is a few words that are the following "The Law of Imperial Decadence" he could not think of a better topic, and although he seems intelligent he is someone with a lot of luck, his obsession is not only sports, martial arts, but also history, he has read since he was very young, but sometimes he can only sigh, cultural destruction of knowledge is inevitable, books that record history, create a mysterious veil to everything we do not know.
we want to know, but it cannot be avoided since, not only foreign invasions, but also rebels with the power to rival real power, famines, plagues, plagues, stagnant economies, technological progress are suppressed, hundreds of millions of beings humans, impossible that there is not a genius besides those we know and have records, the decline in the power of the army, religions with great power, nothing and much more can be avoided in this law of imperial decline.
But there is an empire that only because of small problems such as the problems of the traditional Mongols who did not accept the central government, the small disputes in the army over trophies, their military methods were not updated in all possible fields and their short time to explore the use and best way of gunpowder on a large scale.
But the most important thing that destroyed this great continuous empire, the largest in history, was the division in the imperial family, causing power to disperse, and no one is convinced, but clarifying that, for 53 years, its speed of conquest was unstoppable even with those deficiencies they would not be afraid, they were invaders, they took advantage of the internal chaos, they massacred anyone who opposed them, this led to the peak of imperial authoritarian power.
I'm thinking too much about this topic Rafael thought, this was the name of this young man, he came from a wealthy family, without too many worries, his father is an administrator of a shoe company, his mother is a renowned local journalist from his hometown which is the Roman.
Rafael could only sigh, he was tired, even mentally exhausted.
Rafael:" I just hope to graduate and then be on vacation, this lifestyle is really exhausting, I hope the teacher will receive me"
While Rafael waited at the printer for it to come out since he had to deliver it virtually to save the document and physical for a spare.
Some young people passed by, with comfortable clothes, slightly from since expressions, mocking eyes, even as if they were looking at some monkeys in the zoo, this is the daily bread.
Julián: "or look who's here, the weirdo hahaha"
Daniel: "yes, you seem out of the ordinary, why don't you go to a circus"
Juan: "hahaha yes yes, we really don't know how you managed to get here"
Julián, one of Rafael's classmates, like Daniel and Juan, has always ridiculed him for his appearance, but those are normal, since his eyes are dark brown, his skin white as snow and his silky hair seems like fire. burning.
Only his appearance is rare, his corpulent body makes him attractive to women, making him the number one public enemy of the men of the university, although in the city he is quite famous, he is not too interested.
But there are people who can't help but say to vent his inferiority and it can't be helped.
Rafael: "God damn me for being too handsome, what can I ask for, lizards, don't come bothering me, if the circus comes you are the first to take it away for being too ugly"
Julián: "yeah, who do you think you are, come on, I don't think this gorilla can graduate"
As they walked away, some who were in the library or nearby approached, in a monotonous daily life for most people it is quite boring and exhausting, small moments of conflict can sometimes release your pent up emotions.
The library lady: "go away, what are you doing making noise in the library, after years you still haven't got used to the rules, do you want your passes to be cancelled? Wow, they really look like children"
The lady of the library is called Lidia, she is quite old, she is over 60 years old, she has been working at the university for more than 20 years, although she is quite old, her figure is quite decadent, but it does not take away from the fact that in her youth she was a introverted woman with a good figure.
Lidia said in a persuasive and reassuring tone different from her thick voice and full of vitality to scare away the people who were nearby and made noise that showed her full authority that has been going on for years: "Rafael, boy, what have I told you, don't bother with those people, they are good for nothing, they only know how to criticize."
Rafael: "I know, Mrs. Lidia, but sometimes it's quite nice to insult him" Rafael said with a smile that made it look like nothing had happened.
Rafael and Lidia have known each other for quite some time, a student who wants peace and a quiet life, a librarian who doesn't have much to do, they became friends.
Lidia: "I know, but you can't trust yourself, look at your work, I hope your thesis is approved and you graduate, and don't forget, you are a hard-working and diligent boy"
Rafael: "I know, Mrs. Lidia, so wait for my good news"
He was leaving the library while he was saying goodbye, Lydia smiled hoping that he would achieve his dreams and what fate would await him.
