"Imagine a web. Fine, delicate, stretched in the dark. An invisible spider is its craftsman, but its threads shine in the light like so many possible paths. At the center of this web, birth: a point of origin common to all. Each filament extends towards the unknown, forming a complex network of decisions, encounters and chances. But at the end of this web, there is only one term: death. A certain, inescapable destination." Life begins with a cry, a first breath that defends silence and announces entry into this web. The child, still innocent, does not understand that he has already set foot in this network of intersections. Each step he takes, each choice he makes brings him closer to or away from the different threads that lead to his destiny. And yet, it is not the web that traps man. No. It is he who chooses the paths he takes. Sometimes he wanders into the shadows, drawn to ease or darkness. Other times, he climbs luminous threads, stretched toward dynamics that he struggles to reach. But always, the web vibrates. Each decision, each act, resonates in the entire network. Because the paths of good and evil are not linear: they intertwine, cross, and sometimes even merge. In this web, Death watches. She is not a monster or a threat. She is there, patient, observing every step. Sometimes, she stretches a thread, gently inviting man to join her. Other times, she fades into the shadows, leaving man to choose whether or not to continue his journey. A journey. That is what life is. A crossing of which we know neither the duration nor the final destination. But as we progress, we realize that it is essential to equip ourselves with baggage. Not material wealth, no. This baggage becomes heavy and hinders the march. The real baggage is the good deeds, the touched hearts, the appeased souls. They are the only ones to weigh positively on the threads of the web. And you, reader, where are you in this web? Perhaps you are at the beginning of your journey, still ignorant of the choices to come. Perhaps you are already at an intersection, hesitating between two paths. Or perhaps you have already crossed paths with Death, once, twice, or three times, without even realizing it. In any case, remember: this web is not a prison. It is your path. Your work. Your freedom.
