Built by Augustus to store his own remains. When aliens invaded and destroyed everything, how could Augustus, the truly great Roman emperor, imagine that Rome, to him the place of the whole world, would one day be destroyed?
During the dark days of Europe, the ashes of emperors were stolen, and in the 12th century it was turned into a fortress, then a bullring, where fireworks were stored, and now a toilet for tourists.
This is the quietest and loneliest place in Rome, and over the centuries the city has grown around it, it's like a precious scar, like a heartbreak you can't bear to let go, because that pain is also beautiful, we all Hope that things can stay the same, we would rather live in pain for stability, just because we are afraid of change, afraid that things will be destroyed.
Then I looked at the chaos of loads of this place, and that's how it adapts to everything, gets burned, looted, and then finds a way to build itself back up. Suddenly, it dawned on me that my life might not be as chaotic as I thought it would be, but~~~ that is the normal state of the world, and the only trap is to connect myself to any part of this damage.
Destruction is a gift. Destruction is the path to transformation. Even in this eternal city of Rome, we must prepare for endless transformation.

You have to learn to filter your thoughts.
God exists in myself.
Finally, don't give up on love for fear of failure. Losing balance for love's sake is part of balancing life.
