Don't ever think about the mysteries of life and death. God reveals them to us only when he chooses to. Until then enjoy the existence he has provided and have faith in him. You are his special child and he has a very special plan for you. ↗

And then the queen wept with all her heart. Not for the cruel and greedy man who had warred and killed and savaged everywhere he could. But for the boy who had somehow turned into that man, the boy whose gentle hand had comforted her childhood hurts, the boy whose frightened voice had cried out to her at the end of his life, as if he wondered why he had gotten lost inside himself, as if he realized that it was too, too late to get out again. ↗

For thousands of years humans were oppressed— as some of us still are— by the notion that the universe is a marionette whose strings are pulled by a god or gods, unseen and inscrutable.

And that the stars were very far away. ↗
