Darkness in the Universe

The black attire, the smoldering eyes and the raven hair gives her a phantasmagoric appearance. She appears to have emerged from the Dark Ages.

We call those ages dark, since we know nothing about them, and we do not have the vision to look back. We do not know anything about the Lady in Black. Will she pull us down, or help us climb the ladder to the future? Do I accept her native wisdom as a guiding light, or be weary of her?

Ms. Fortune-teller turns the crystal ball, and says

“You are in for a stroke of good luck, in between the two eclipses, but only if your acts are positive, and you give something back to society.”

I am not yet, in the Dark Ages, but I have always believed in this dictum, maybe erroneously. Luck does not always favour the good and the brave, since we see life from different angles. The fate of several other people is interacting, interfering and transforming the scenario.

We lack the capability to understand certain phenomena, and that X-factor has been named Luck, good or bad.

“Madam Fortune-teller, please turn the crystal ball again. It might give a different reading.”
