In moments of extreme crisis, where time seems to stand still and external help cannot arrive in time, a force emerges that knows no limits: the human will.
Today I want to reflect on that unbreakable capacity we call resilience. It is not just enduring the blow; it is transforming pain into immediate action. When heavy machinery shines in its absence, when a pick and shovel are not within reach, the most powerful tools that exist appear: our hands.
We have seen heartbreaking scenes that, at the same time, are lessons in humanity: family members, neighbors, and strangers removing rubble, stone by stone, with their bare hands, with desperation, and with a faith that defies logic. Every movement, every physical effort pushed to the limit, is a testament to unconditional love. There is no technology that can surpass the urgency of rescuing our own when life is at stake.
