Mark’s Journey Into the Invisible

Once upon a time, across the great ocean of Operencia… lived a boy named Mark.

Mark was a nineteen–year-old boy, who was very concerned about the existential issues of the world.

Being raised in a Catholic environment, he attended mass each Sunday and prayed every night. As the years passed, his curious nature led him to ask too many questions, raise too many forbidden issues and eventually led him to stop going to church and lose faith. Mark, intrigued by the questions still unanswered, seeks for answers in other faiths and religions.

He showed the enthusiasm of a baby playing with a new toy, as he discovered the variety and diversity of the myriad religions out there. He spent several years to study and be part of these religions, but towards the end of his seek he still didn’t find what he was looking for. His childhood upbringing created an addiction for belief, belief that was lost by now. He was far from giving up, after spending so much time in the shadow that the Catholic faith coated on the world, and him discovering the beauty of the unknown. He decided to look at the scientific vision of the world. His discovery as magnificent as it was had some flaws. He discovered, that the building blocks that form us, atoms and particles, are present since the Big Bang. Mark then realized that he was seeking for answers in all the wrong places, all the answers were in his being, and not the beliefs of others.

The Universe is larger than our imagination, and infinite in every dimension known to us. The atoms that were now part of him, traveled a fourteen billion year journey, and would continue this travel until the end of time. Are we part of the Universe or is the Universe part of us? Understanding his immortality through the elements that composed him he stopped being human, and started enjoying the journey to the end of time.

The End
