love and knowledge ,so far as they were possible,led upward toward the heavens,but always pity brought me back to earth.echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart .children in famine victims tortured by oppressors,helpless old people a hated burden to their sons ,and the whole worldof loneliness ,poverty,and pain make a mockery of what human life should be .i long to alleviate the evil ,but i can't ,and i too suffer.
this has been my life ,i have found it worth living,and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.
