For most, the purpose of Life has been lost, and Man spends all of his time here on Earth killing himself trying to avoid death. He is in the victim of society, the system and the law of accidents which he has created. ~ Anunda Quiet, insightful, sensitive, rebellious, artistic, kind, introverted. I am not respectable; I am mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but I am shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these, my spirit blooms timidly, and struggles to the light amid the thorns. (paraphrasing of George Santayana)
