Chapter 39: The Vlad Duchy
If there is one thing the Lord has taught me,
It’s that we are actually nothing.
A night of counting stars.
Gazing at the countless stars pouring down, I am reminded once again that all those stars are actually suns in their own right.
From a far, far away place, even the sun would look no different from a star. It would be just one of the many, many stars in this universe.
Before meeting the Lord, my knowledge was shallower and smaller than that of a frog in a well, but only after meeting Him did I finally realize how vast the world is.
Just because a place is out of reach when you stretch out your hand, it doesn’t mean that place doesn’t exist. If you were to bring just one of those many suns, it would be much larger than this crust we stand and live on.
On this small piece of land,
we humans, who cannot live in the sea, stay in the air or live underground, merely live on this small space called the earth, on this continent smaller than the smallest star.
Thinking like that, what meaning is there to our lives?
If enough time passes for a star to exhaust its lifespan and die out, any trace of our existence here will disappear without a trace, as if it never existed in the first place.
