73. Is it right to just accept the given fate?

“The holy spirit that was said to have been used to crucify Jesus. As much as the Holy Spirit, it is a genuine article kept in our monastery. I even have a confirmation from the Holy See. In any case, since the Lord gave a revelation to show the holy spirit to the saints, I, as the abbot of Gaon, am trying to bring the holy spirit out for the first time in 500 years.”

When I put the picture hanging on the wall down on the floor, a space locked with a padlock appeared. Methodio put his crucifix in the keyhole and turned it.

clap.

Then he brought a huge iron nail stored in a glass case that looked precious at first glance.

“This is the essence of Elena. When Jesus was sentenced to be crucified and faced death on the hill of Golgotha, these are the three nails that were driven into both hands and feet. The nail on the left is kept in the Louvre Museum in France, and the nail on the right is kept secretly in our monastery.”

Methodio opened a glass case containing holy spirit and handed it to Gyuha.

“Why the Lord asks me to show you this disposition, I, his lowly son, do not understand. But what do you mean? ruler. Please take it.”

Gyuha, who had been silently listening to Methodio, received Elina’s holy spirit. I’ve only been watching the Holy Spirit for a while, but it’s just an ordinary big iron nail without any characteristics. I didn’t feel any holy energy or anything. Then, when he held the Seongjeong (聖釘) in his hand, a change occurred.

“Oh oh. After all, you are truly a saint.”

The eyes of Methodius, the abbot, were thrilled. When Gyuha touched the Holy Spirit, a faint light began to leak out. The light was so faint that you could have missed it if you didn’t look closely, but apparently after Kyu-ha touched it, the Holy Spirit began to emit a faint light.

“It is a truly holy light. Just looking at it makes me feel like my head is clearing up.”

At that time, the light of the holy spirit that Gyu-ha was holding began to grow brighter, and soon it wrapped around Gyu-ha as if it were absorbed into Gyu-ha’s body, and soon disappeared.

Methodio was momentarily taken aback by the sudden situation, but like a disciplined monk, he soon nodded and agreed.

“Indeed… the sacred relic’s appearance has corrected the harmony of the saint’s spirit and flesh, which was strangely distorted. There seems to be other effects besides that, but I don’t know that far.”

Gyu-ha put the holy spirit he was holding back in the storage box and handed it to Methodio, and Methodio returned the holy spirit to its original place.

“Anyway, it seems certain that the energy of the Holy Spirit has helped the saint, so it is fortunate.”

“Thank you, Director. I had a good experience.”

Kyuha himself was not sure exactly what had changed, but he felt that his condition had improved, so he thanked him.

“I pray that the saints also spend the rest of their journey happily in the grace of the Lord.”

He escaped from the Gaon Monastery’s villa and joined the waiting party.

“You waited long? sorry.”

“no. You came just on time. Didn’t something happen?”

“No. I just came here to talk for a while.”

In the secret space of the Gaon Monastery, he saw the holy relic, Seongjeong, and he couldn’t say that the light was absorbed by him, so Gyu-ja covered it up roughly.

There were many more things to ask, but PD Son Jun-ik, who couldn’t wait too long because he had another schedule, ordered the move.

“Good to sleep. I will leave the trip to Meteora at this point and go downstairs and take a rental car to the final destination, Thessalokini.”

After going down Meteora, the party moved to their own cars and started moving to Thessaloniki, and Kyu-ha also drove the car with three senior actors and producer Son Jun-ik.

Climbing Meteora must have been very difficult. Not only the three senior actors, but even PD Son Jun-ik fell asleep, and only silence lingered in the car.

It was only then that Gyuha also began to reflect deeply on what had happened at the Gaon Monastery.

Why did Abbot Methodius suddenly find him and show him the holy relic, and why did the holy relic react to him? And what is the light absorbed by him? Could all of this have something to do with your dreams?

soaked in thoughts

Obviously, he was different from others.

The lack of emotion that was like a curse. Lack of empathy.

Kyu-ha himself knew better that without the ‘dream’, he would have become a vicious killer who would surely have been in the news headlamps. However, because of the miraculous ‘dream’, he learned how to control himself and act out his emotions while adapting to this society.

‘God exists. But what does that god want from me?’

The distance from Meteora to Thessaloniki is 230 km.

While driving a distance that takes about 3 hours by car, Kyu-ha thought deeply about this incident.

No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t come up with an answer. Maybe there was no answer in the first place?

“Draw what worries you.”

Park Chang-soo asked Kyu-ha from the back seat when he woke up. Gyu-ha’s appearance was deeply troubled to anyone’s eyes, and the cause was probably because of his visit to the monastery earlier.

“teacher. did you wake up You must be tired. Get some more sleep.”

“If you die, you will sleep well, but why do you need to sleep a lot? Anyway, let’s see what’s wrong with you. Confide in this old man.”

Kyu-ha thought about it for a moment, and then began to reveal what was inside.

“I was just thinking about how to live in the future. In a way, I thought about whether going against my fate and living would not come back as a scary reaction later, and what kind of answer God wants from me.”

“I was thinking about it very deeply. Hmm…”

Park Chang-soo, who fell into contemplation for a moment at Kyu-ha’s words, continued.

“After living this long, I realized that life is full of sorrow and pain. Maybe we humans can’t get over this sadness and pain. i’m scared too There were times when I couldn’t sleep and struggled with loneliness and anxiety about the future, and there were times when the fear of death suddenly struck me even though I knew that people would die someday.”

Kyu-ha nodded as if agreeing. I don’t know anything else, but the saying that life is full of pain and trials was because I realized while living many lives.

“But every time that happens, I have another thought. The fact that I am not alone and there are people I love around me. After realizing that, I began to appreciate every moment of my life.

In any case, the meaning of life is not fixed, it differs from person to person, from time to time, from time to time. Each situation that humans face in life is itself a challenge, and we perceive them as problems to be solved, so in the end, we are being asked questions from life.”

rustle rustle.

Producer Son Joon-ik, who woke up, also listened to Park Chang-soo.

“The old man said it was too difficult, but the bottom line is that no matter what trials and tribulations you face, if you have people who love you, you can solve them all in the end. And you asked what it would be like to defy your destiny?”

“Yeah. Do you ever feel that you are defying your destiny?”

“What I think of as destiny is the many ‘choices’ that you will receive in your life. It’s just that they come together and become destiny. Some people will receive an easy choice, while others will receive a ‘choice’ that is difficult and would be better to die. Human beings have different choices to accept, so life is not fair in the first place.”

“Then is it right to just accept the given fate?”

“No. When an ordinary human being receives a ‘choice’ that he cannot afford, most of the time he rejects the ‘choice’. In other words, making a ‘choice not to choose’.”

“A choice not to make a choice…”

“But in my life, that choice has become less valuable than any other choice. I think defying fate is a more wonderful and courageous act than avoiding a choice. You must first acknowledge and accept the harsh choice given to you before you can go against it.”

Park Chang-soo’s words comforted Kyu-ha, and he felt at ease.

Then he thought of the people around him. Director Kang Anna, the children at the orphanage, Midgyeol, Jeong Seol-ah, team leader Han Jeong-hee, manager Bong-gu, and others who are always by my side and cheering me on. Because of those beings, many things were restrained.

I suddenly thought that I was well in control of the inner monster that could come out without knowing it because of their presence.

And that’s how I felt. I wonder if the reason why the divine being gave him the gift of ‘dream’ was not ‘find the answer’ but ‘create the answer yourself’.

Kyu-ha posted a heartfelt thank you to Park Chang-soo.

“Teacher was very helpful. My messy head has been cleared. thank you.”

“I’m glad I was helpful. It’s just advice from a stupid old man, so filter it out yourself.”

“Hyung-nim, is it still the case that you always look cool when you talk? I guess someone isn’t from the Department of Philosophy.”

“Is this happening now? You woke up too soon.”

“No, hyung-nim says such wonderful things to his junior, shouldn’t I say something too? But no matter how much I wring my brain, there’s nothing I can say like a big brother. Eh tsk tsk.”

“What a nice word. Just take what the old man said to himself.”

“I’m ashamed of this brother. You were just talking well before, and then it was cheesy.”

After arguing for a while, the two soon fell into talking about themselves. PD Son Jun-ik, who was in the passenger seat, asked.

“Are you tired, Kyuha? I’m sorry you seem to be struggling alone.”

“no. What’s so hard about driving? Rather, it was nice to be able to think about this and that while driving.”

“This Thessaloniki is already the last itinerary of this trip. Time flies.”

“So. I don’t know when time passed like this. A lot of fun things happened during that time. I am excited about what else awaits me in Thessaloniki.”

“That is what I will do. It’s probably the first time in my life that I’ve had such a memorable and intense trip. My heart is pounding at the thought of going back to Korea and editing these precious videos.”

“I think my first overseas trip will remain in my memory for the rest of my life.”

After spending time chatting about this and that, the car entered Thessaloniki and soon arrived at the lodging.

“Thank you all for your hard work. It’s getting late, so we’ll have a quick dinner and continue tomorrow’s schedule. Thank you all for your hard work.”

Gyu-ha went to bed early as he felt quite tired after driving for a long time after going to Meteora.

An unknown bird sat between the cracks in the old wooden window, chirping and announcing the morning.

Meogines woke up in the bedroom of an old inn on the outskirts of Thessalokini.
