MP4S #02 – Risky Survival Strategy
This analysis contains spoilers. Fate and Hope: a specular vision << I love the word “fate”. Because, you know how they talk about “fated encounters”?

This analysis contains spoilers. A Misleading Lead <<I hate the word “fate.” Birth, encounters, partings, success and failures, fortune and misfortunes in life. If our lives are already set in stone by fate, then why are we even born? There are those born to wealthy families, those born to beautiful mothers, and those born into the middle of war or poverty. If that’s all caused by fate, then God is incredibly unfair and cruel. Because, ever since that day, none of us had a fu
