This world is so full of need. So full of pain. It makes me ache inside. This is not how things are supposed to be! Yet somehow people just go on living, trying to cope. They distract themselves with work and continuous activity. Or deny it by living in a fantasy world: immersing themselves in entertainment and amusement. And then there's the calloused and bitter cynics who often plunge into a life of addiction. It's all about escape: often their only means of survival. But in the quiet moments the gnawing pain persists. The cavity in the heart remains unfilled, and people are left searching in vain for the meaning to life. So many never find it. It's tragic.  ¶ 10:52 PM
