struggle less and less for an idea and more and more for specific people. In the end, it is the reality of personal
relationship that saves everything.

People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other
people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within.

there about us always.
