What now?

One of the biggest mysteries of this world, is how people come and go in your life… It’s like when a flower blooms in your garden, it may add a color to it, or give you a scent that you’ll never forget, or even hurts you badly with it thorns. But at the end of the day, it leaves you, leaves the garden with all the good and the bad and you will never know why did it come from the first place. The thing is that you knew it would leave from the first time you’ve seen it, and just like that, people had already left your life the moment you’ve seen them.

Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You’re by no means alone on that score, you’ll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You’ll learn from them—if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t education. It’s history. It’s poetry.
