๐ŸŒŒ 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. ๐Ÿช 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. ๐ŸŒ  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.

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: ๐Ÿ‘‰ 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.
