How much would you pay to go to the moon?
Oh, the moon, such a miraculous creation!
It looks so beautiful, so romantic. Who wouldn’t like it? Who couldn’t be inspired by its luminous silver light on a dark night? Isn’t our calendar affected by the change of its amazing round shape throughout the month?
But of course, that’s how we see the moon from our Earth. In fact it’s so distant, so dark, so lifeless. Thanks to the sun, it has its beautiful light. Thanks to the spaceships, astronauts give it some life. They travel all the way to bounce on its surface as if they haven’t been bouncing enough on Earth for thousands of years.
But Adam lived on this Earth, and his offspring scattered all around it with different colours and tongues. That’s God’s plan. God didn’t create us to live on the moon, but to watch it from far, far away. To understand how we are so weak and fragile that we can neither live without nor live on one of the simplest natural satellites, the moon.
Sorry, Moon, I won’t pay to go to you, but I’ll always be so, so happy to see you from far far away.
With all the best wishes,
Nahla
