Saudade.

Is a word in Portuguese and Galician that has no direct translation in English. It describes a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one loves. Moreover, it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing may never return.[2] A stronger form of saudade may be felt towards people and things whose whereabouts are unknown, such as a lost lover, or a family member who has gone missing, moved away, separated, or died.

Saudade was once described as "the love that remains" after someone is gone. Saudade is the recollection of feelings, experiences, places or events that once brought excitement, pleasure, well-being, which now triggers the senses and makes one live again. It can be described as an emptiness, like someone (e.g., one's children, parents, sibling, grandparents, friends, pets) or something (e.g., places, things one used to do in childhood, or other activities performed in the past) that should be there in a particular moment is missing, and the individual feels this absence. It brings sad and happy feelings all together, sadness for missing and happiness for having experienced the feeling.

hypocrisy
hy·poc·ri·sy
1. the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.

Kind of how some people act when they put down official things, and bypass it and make exceptions for their own personal desire. You put it down officially, you stick to it or you veto it.

Juneteenth

Juneteenth, also known as Juneteenth Independence Day, Freedom Day, or Emancipation Day, is a holiday in the United States that commemorates the announcement of the abolition of slavery in the U.S. state of Texas in June 1865, and more generally the emancipation of African-American slaves throughout the Confederate South. Celebrated on June 19, the term is a portmanteau of June and nineteenth, and is recognized as a state holiday or special day of observance in most states.

The word Transcendental can not be used as a synonym for an important event or single event. To do this, use the word transcendent. Transcendental was a word coined by the philosopher Immanuel Kant in his Critique of Pure Reason. Means itself, which is beyond the material realm.

Transcendental:

adjective
1.transcendent, surpassing, or superior.
2.being beyond ordinary or common experience, thought, or belief; supernatural.
3.abstract or metaphysical.
4.idealistic, lofty, or extravagant.
5.Philosophy.
beyond the contingent and accidental in human experience, but not beyond all human knowledge.
Compare transcendent (def 4b).
pertaining to certain theories, etc., explaining what is objective as the contribution of the mind.
Kantianism. of, pertaining to, based upon, or concerned with a priori elements in experience, which condition human knowledge.
Compare transcendent (def 4b).
