Cosmic Drive: The Andrew Elsan Chronicles (Episode 2 – The First Rule of the Universe)

🌌 Cosmic Drive: The Andrew Elsan Chronicles Episode 2 – The First Rule of the Universe When the universe becomes a machine, one soul becomes a rebellion. πŸͺ A Weekly Cosmic Journey Continues Last week, a boy heard the universe speak. This week, he learns why it was silenced . Welcome to Episode 2 of our 50-week sci-fi fantasy saga. 🌠 Episode 2 – The First Rule of the Universe The light did not fade. Andrew Elsan stood frozen before the chained Cosmic Core of Lyris-9 , his body still trembling from the surge of energy that had passed through him. The universe had shown him its wounds — bound planets, erased histories, and a vast system designed not for balance, but for obedience. The Core pulsed again.

**“Don’t Trust Too Much. Don’t Love Too Much. Don’t Hope Too Much.” Wisdom — or a Wounded Mindset?** We hear these lines repeatedly in daily life. From people we respect. From those who have “seen life.” From experience itself:   Don’t trust too much. Don’t love too much. Don’t hope too much. Because even too much can hurt you so much. At first, this sounds like mature advice — a shield against pain. But if we pause and think deeply, an important question emerges: πŸ‘‰ Are these words true wisdom, or are they shaped by hurt? This post explores that question as a debate , blending lived reality with philosophy. Why People Believe This (The Case FOR the Statement) People do not arrive at this mindset without reason. Trust was broken Love was betrayed Hope ended in disappointment Pain teaches fast.
