When you feel it once, you learn from it. When you live it twice, you mourn in silence. But if you experience it thrice, you will break, shattering like a frail piece of glass. But if you manage to survive, then you will only be a shadow of your soul: a broken doll. Because we are nothing more than mere puppets of Destiny, holding tightly on the string that keeps us from being consumed by the darkness. The string that will eventually lead humankind to its pinnacle.A simple red string named Hope.","author":"Giou Yomi","tags":["destiny","guilt","hope-and-despair"],"id":7504,"author_id":"Giou+Yomi"},{"text":"No one knows what god thinks of anything.
