Three passions have governed my life
Bertrand Russell
Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of [people].
I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.
This has been my life; I found it worth living.

Yesterday I got Yukon Ho by Bill Watterson...I haven't started reading it, but that is the first thing I plan to do when I get home. Major Paper # 2 for Ethics can wait...
And hopefully soon, I will also start The Ultimate Life by Jim Stovall. I should get that today too. I can't wait.
Books are fun...
Happy Diwali!

I learned one thing...people can never change. They change colors but their true nature never changes. They lie and cheat but in the end, they do whatever they want to do. They have to go through near-death experience to have an epiphany, which doesn't happen every time either.
I just wished that people treated each other with more respect and actually showed everyone who they truly are. I wish that people and I didn't see this world with rose-colored glasses.
