He wanted to explore worlds beyond his own, driven by the tales of adventure his grandmother used to tell him.

Truth Is Often Rejected Because It Demands Change
There is a widespread assumption, rarely spoken but deeply believed, that truth will eventually be accepted if it is communicated clearly, patiently, and with genuine goodwill. When resistance appears, the instinct is to search for error in tone, framing, or explanation. The underlying belief is simple: if the truth were presented well enough, rejection would disappear. This belief is comforting, but it is false. History, Scripture, and lived experience all point in the same direction. Truth is often rejected not because it is unclear, but because it is costly.

Review: Children of the Whales, first 3 episodes
I grew up upon anime. “3000 Miles in Search of a Mother”, “Nils Holgersson”, “The Moomins”, studio Ghibly, etc. but nowadays Netflix anime (their original ones, or at least some) is empty artstype wise, content wise. Repetitive. Plus, there’s a theme of violence and women opression (at least in some past animes) that is unclear and unethical.

“Share Yourself (!)”
SHARE YOURSELF (!) It was the time after the Covid lockdowns, when the city reopened but many people did not quite return to their own lives. The story that follows was born from that atmosphere, where silence became habit and solitude learned to speak in a human voice.
