...For love was offered me and i shrank from its disillusionment;
Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid;
Ambitionn called to me, but I dreaded the chances.
Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life.
And now I know that we must lift the sail
And catch the winds of destiny
Wherever they drive the boat.
To put meaning in one's life may end in madness,
But life without meaning is the torture
Or restlessness and vague desire -
It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid.

"George Gray"....E. L. Masters
