I was not exactly crazy about carrying Ra into the sky. However, the god of primeval waters, Nun, ordered me too which frustrated me, after all, I did not want to leave Geb. Also, when I was carrying Ra up into the sky, some of the humans on earth did not want him to leave. They desperately begged him to stay, and, when he continued to leave, they shot and killed his enemies. This is what brought death into being and from then on, humans had to live and then die to maintain the earth's balance.
It must be painful to have to watch such death occur. How did you cope with the loss of so much innocent blood? I know that I could not feel any emotion but grief when Kronos swallowed our children.

ReplyDeleteIt was difficult to see, I admit. But I was comforted by my husband, Geb, which made it easier.

That is a great price to pay for taking the lives of others, it is amazing how much one's actions can affect another.
