There are awards that do not honor an individual, but a humanity that still endures. The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize is not given to a single figure, but to a symbol — one that embodies the courage that defies resignation, the perseverance that survives exhaustion, and the faith that transcends the impossible.
In a world where violence seems to multiply and truth dissolves into noise, this award becomes a moral reminder. It speaks of those who believe in light even when there is no dawn, of those who choose to extend a hand instead of clenching a fist. Of those who, in the face of hostility, continue to build.
Courage does not always shout — sometimes it prays. Perseverance does not always advance — sometimes it waits. Faith does not always triumph — sometimes it simply sustains. Yet in that stillness, in that fidelity to the invisible, true peace is forged.
To receive or contemplate this Nobel is to look inward, where the hardest battlefield is neither political nor military, but the human soul itself — where the war between love and fear, between hope and abandonment, is eternally waged.
The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to María Corina Machado does not celebrate the absence of conflict, but the presence of a higher force: the faith that never yields — the faith that gives meaning to existence and silently upholds the world. For only those who believe, even while trembling, keep alive the possibility of tomorrow.
