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.

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: 👉 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.
