At that moment, I lay with my eyes wide open in the darkness and suddenly believed you were there. You existed. It was as if a bullet struck me, and my heart stopped beating. When you struck me again, infinite wonder surged within me, and I felt as if I had fallen into a deep well, making everything seem so frightening and strange to me. Now, I am shut in by fear. This fear seeped into my face, hair, and thoughts. I am lost in this fear. I know it is not the fear of other things, because I do not care about other things; it is not the fear of God, because I do not believe in God; nor is it the fear of pain, because I am not afraid of pain. It is the fear of you, the fear of suddenly throwing you out of nothingness and making you attach to me. I never eagerly awaited your arrival, though I knew you would one day exist at some moment. In this awareness, I have long waited for you. Yet, I still asked myself such terrible questions: Are you willing to come into this world? Will there come a day when you will shout at me in anger: Who gave you the right to let me come into this world? Why did you bring me into this world? Why?
