“A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if the things be false, the apprehension of them is not understanding.”

Trapped
We all fear death, are saddened by its effect, devastated by its chill, but never embrace its peace.
The World We Live In
Emotion is the bubble that forms from the gas of change, the effects of a boiling mixture of feelings, the distinction of advanced animalism.

“You are a child of the universe,
