For Eternity?

The question of mortality had been debated for thousands of years on Esperia.
Like many civilizations, the fear of the unknown had led different beings to create reasons for their existence and to find interpretations for the signs given by nature.

“The question of time and existence is truly complicated,” worried Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.
“Atma, wouldn’t you have some advice to give to the Espers who feel a little lost?”

Atma, the Shape of Time, smiled and answered in a soft and peaceful voice.

“Taking the time to listen to oneself is already a great step toward a better understanding of what is happening inside.”

“It is the cycle of life. Nothing is eternal. The stars we can admire after nightfall will also shine brighter before fading away and creating new ones.”

“Feeling afraid is completely normal and understandable. But instead of rejecting that fear, why not try to befriend it? It allows us to appreciate even more each day spent with the beings who are dear to us.
