Four billion years. Four and half to be more precise, though they are nothing but estimation. Four and a half billion years is the age. A mind boggling number that is. Can you imagine how long four and a half billion years is? Can you even imagine how long one billion years is? I could not wrap my mind around it. It’s insane.
Four and a half billion years. Our hero has hovered around that burning fire ball for so long, and he had survived all kinds of troubles and calamity in that ridiculously long time. In the early years of his conception, he had been bombarded with all kinds of missiles. Trajectories of all shapes and sizes, and from all corners of the big nothingness, had flown into him wreaking havoc all at the generosity of his enemies. He was hurt and battered time and again, yet he had always persevered and carried on with his survival. His instinct to survive, coupled with his will to do it, added to the ability to come back from all kinds of fall, has made him an ultimate survivor.
