บท 554: Self-Examination

Selma Payne's POV:

I felt helpless, followed by fear and resistance.

I refused incoherently. "No, Father. It's too early. I'm not mature enough. I'm not strong enough. I do not understand everything in the vanity fair. I'm not enough to take over your burden. I'm even at a loss about this."

"When will you be strong, mature, and insightful enough? I think the answer is never. The world is changing every second. New things are constantly appearing, and old things are constantly disappearing. The human heart is as fickle as a river. One second, we think that we have seen through everything, but the next, we find that a new problem has appeared before us.
