Insanity?
25 Jul 2022Taikarath
Today, after many months and many jumps, I finally reached the Center of the Galaxy. At first I wasn't sure if I really want to see it, but after some contemplating, I made up my mind and visited Sagittarius A*.Now that I'm seeing it, or rather, not seeing it, I feel almost nauseated. It's like it is calling out to me, the endless blackness, invisible but there, only recognizable by the distortion of starlight around it. I feel like a dark pit is opening in my stomach, as if something inside me is answering it. I know I am far enough away and am relatively safe, but I still feel a kind of... pull, but only in my body, not on my ship.
Nietsche said "When you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." I feel like it is staring back at me. Am I going insane?
