here it is. what if someday someone comes to you, he tell you that he got the all time authority to enliven a soul and also kill a soul.'world living such terrible way for a long time'he said. he tell that in one finger flick he will destroy this place once and for all. 'but you're lucky not to be kill'he said. 'why?'you ask 'you have no right to ask'he answer 'what do you mean by saying once and for all?'you still ask 'you mean destroy it?until it gone?where do i live then?you know, you said i'm lucky'you keep asking 'you have no right to asking a question'
he tell that you have some choice. a place to choose, a life, a scenario you could set. you start thinking about a place. then you have a self-conversation. what exactly that place suppose to mean?i know nothing but here. i've lived twenty years on this earth. should i choose another planet?mars will be great i guess, i've heard the news about the possibility to live there.

'wonderland?'you ask.

“You know that story of the Russian cosmonaut? So, the cosmonaut. He’s the first man ever to go into space. Right? The Russians beat the Americans; so he goes up in this big spaceship, but the only habitable part of it is very small. So the cosmonaut’s in there, and he’s got this portal window, and he’s looking out of it, and he sees the curvature of the Earth for the first time. I mean, the first man to ever look at the planet he’s from. And he’s lost in that moment. And all of a sudden this strange ticking; tick, tick, tick, begins coming out of the dashboard. Rips out the control panel, right? Takes out his tools, trying to find the sound, trying to stop the sound. But he can’t find it. He can’t stop it. It keeps going. Few hours into this, begins to feel like torture. A few days go by with this sound, and he knows that this small sound will break him. He’ll lose his mind. What’s he going to do? He’s up in space, alone, in a space closet. He’s got 25 days left to go with this sound. So the cosmonaut decides the only way to save his sanity is to fall in love with the sound. So he closes his eyes, and he goes into his imagination, and then he opens them. He doesn’t hear ticking any more. He hears music. And he spends the remainder of his time sailing through space in total bliss and peace.” - Rhoda, another earth
