Let us not imagine evils which we do not fell, nor injure life by misrepresentation. Of all the souls that stand create, I have elected one. When sense from spirit files away, and subterfuge is done; when that which is and that which was apart, intrinsic, stand, and this brief tragedy of flesh is shifted like sand; when figures show their royal front and mists are carved away,–behold the atom I preferred to this clay. I have no life but this, to lead it here; nor any death, but lest dispelled from there; nor tie to Earths to come, nor action new, except through this extent, the realm of you. I dismissed as the fantasies of a lonely and embittered man who was filled with contempt for mankind and who was singularly incapable of love or friendship. I sang the song of the tall ones, the long-extinct ones, come again from a colony, lost somewhere in the modern World. Gentle beings, out of time, out of place, and maybe out of luck. And of such tragic import to my fledgling and your human kindred. Do not make me say so much that other immortals might gather up my intent and use it to bad ends. #RyanPhillippe 1 of 5
Here me, sweet God, wherever you are. Surely you know this World as no one else know it. Have you spied these tall children? I do not dare to say their names. I will wrap myself in comforting phantasms, roaming the winds for my own sake, dissolved now and then in the poetry of love, and envisioning bowers of love, places of Divine safety foreordained beyond Good and Evil, where I am the one I coveted could dwell. It was a predestined vision and I knew it, but it was mine to enjoy. My own desolation, it may be plausibly that it made me overestimate the discontent of human beings. It is frequently, but not universally, true that what is hoped for is found disappointed when it is attained, and while fearful envy of other people’s success is common enough, real sympathy and generosity are not quite so rare. Furthermore, my doctrine that pleasure is negative while pain is positive have been endorsed by people who are neither lonely nor embittered and who do not, as far as one can judge, lack the gift of love or friendship. He who has nothing external that can divert him must find pleasure in his own thoughts, and must conceive himself what he is not, for who is pleased with what he is? #RyanPhillippe 2 of 5
Some might say that I am one of the most compassionate men who ever lived, even though at times, I conclude that life is wicked, undisciplined, and superficial farewells, and only then did the secret grip release me. As I walked slowly into the formal garden beyond the pool, and would have gone up into the roaring clouds, to be as far away from the Earth as I could be. However, the one I coveted piteous cry rang behind me. The apparent aimlessness of all that happens, this weary antiquated World goes on, begetting, with creation and with living and with death. Nathan Freudenthal Leopold, Jr and Richard Albert Lobe are examples of two wealthy students at the University of Chicago, who in May 1924 kidnapped and murdered 14-year-old Robert Franks. The murder was characterized as the crime of the century—as a demonstration of their perceived intellectual and financial superiority, which they thought, rendered them capable of carrying out a “perfect crime” and absolved them of responsibility for their actions. The Franks murder has been inspired by literature by Patrick Hamilton (Rope) and film by Alfred Hitchcock (Rope), and all is blind from beginning to the end. #RyanPhillippe 3 of 5
Life is like an Albatross on the sea, tossed by every wave and by every wind in a White Squall; a ship headed for no port and no harbor, with no compass, no rudder, no pilot; simply floating for a time, then lost in the waves and rain of a White Squall. In addition to the aimlessness of life and the Universe, there is the fact of death. I love my friends, but they all must come to a tragic end. Death is more terrible the more one is attached to things, in the World. Life is not worthwhile, it is an unpleasant interruption of nothing, and the best thing you can say of it is that it does not last long. The partners in a marriage that is to be ruined or destroyed, squandered or wastefully discarded take no corrective action. One source of grief-related guilt is anger at the loved one for departing. This is often suppressed because it seems irrational to the conscious mind. An exciting idea is like a venomous microbe; it bites into the brain, and if circumstances do not occur to expel it, it produces a form of mania. Chronic guilt or refusal to work through the emotion associated with lass can result in delayed grief reaction and physical ailments because the suppressed energy of the relinquished emotions reemerges through the body’s endocrine and nervous system and creates an energetic imbalance. #RyanPhillippe 4 of 5
When all the negative emotions have been worked through, surrendered to and let go of, relief finally occurs, and the former suffering is replaced by acceptance. Acceptance is different from resignation. In resignation there are still residuals of the previous emotion left. There is reluctance and a delaying of the true recognition of the fact. Resignation says, “I do not like it, but I have to tolerate it.” With acceptance, resistance to the true nature of the facts has been relinquished; thus, one of the signs of acceptance is serenity. The struggle is over and life begins anew. The energies that were bound up in the previous negative emotions are now freed up, so that the healthier aspects of the personality are now re-energized. The creative aspects of the mind develop opportunities for new life situations and further options for growth and experience, accompanied by a new sense of aliveness. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Love is not passion, for one may feel that for many; not affection, for friendship demands that. Not even sympathy and comradeship; one can find with others. Every moment of time solicits to be employed in the important business of love. #RyanPhillippe 5 of 5
I closed my eyes. I cleared my mind of all distraction and random images. Again I spoke only to God. Wherever you are, I need you. And now came some artifice—to describe once more my needs without casting to the winds unnecessary details for every other immortal who might pick up my message and ponder the precise nature of what I sought. To find a tribe of all beings, tender of bone, ancient, simple, tangled with my fledgling, unknown to the World of records, history and location essential to the sanity of those I love. Guidance. Mistake I have made with my own fledgling, spiraling out of control. Give to me your wisdom, your keen hearing, your vision. Where are the tall creatures? I am your loyal subject. More or less. I send my love. I am ready to concede that some few human beings really do achieve “comparative” happiness, but this is not of any great consequence. For aside from being “rare exceptions,” these happy people are like “decoy birds”—they represent a possibility which must exist in order to lure the rest of mankind into a false sense of hope. Moreover, happiness, insofar as it exists at all, is a purely “negative” reality. We do not become aware of the greatest blessings of life—healthy, youth, and freedom—until we have lost them. #RyanPhillippe 1 of 5
That twinge of autumn again in my beloved heat. I did not so much like it. I fretted the Winter coming on. However, what was all this to me with my broken heart, and illegitimate soul? What is called pleasure or satisfaction is merely the absence of craving or pain. Nonetheless, craving and pain are beneficial. As for the few happy days of our life—if there are any—we notice them only after they have given place to unhappy ones. Somewhere in the back of my conscious was taking shape the perishableness of all good things and the ultimate extinction of all our hopes and achievements in death. All of our pleasures and joys disappear in our hands, and we afterwards ask astonished where they have gone. Moreover, a joy which no longer exits does not count—it counts as little as if it had never been experienced at all. That is why I was crying my own blood tears, was it not. Well, there was nobody to see it. Eh bien, it was onto Winchester mansion, and as I ascended I prayed to God. God was my prayer of the winds all the way there. That which has been exists no more; it exists as little as that which has never been. However, of everything that exists you may say, in the next moment, that it has been. #RyanPhillippe 2 of 5
Hence something of great importance in our past is inferior to something of little importance in our present, in that the latter is a reality, and related to the former as something to nothing. Some people have inferred from this that the enjoyment of the present should be the supreme object of life. That is fallacious; for that which in the next moment exists no more, and vanishes utterly, like a dream, can never be worth serious effort. I think that everybody present knows that for years the ghost of William Wirt Winchester has appeared in the dining room of the Winchester mansion, at that Italian fireplace there between the windows, and no one has ever known what to make of it. My son has seen that ghost plenty of times, and the tour guides did too. And I have to confess, as God is my witness, so did I, though I always said a Hail Mary and the ghost went away like that, just like pinching out a candle flame. And when I turned on the lights, well, we always found nothing. Just nothing. And we put the key back into the cup in the kitchen, though why so carefully kept locking up nothing I am not the one to explain. #RyanPhillippe 3 of 5
The final judgement of nature is destruction by death. The ghost started to appear again night and day after one of the cleaning ladies went missing, leaving behind all of her medicine. I am telling you, all I had to do is walk in this dining room and there was William Wirt Winchester standing there pointing at the fireplace! And the same held true for my son. This is the last proof that life is a false path, that all man’s wishing is a perversity, and that nothing at all is worth our striving, our efforts and struggles. The conclusions is inescapable: All good things are vanity, the World in all its ends bankrupt, and life is a business which does not cover its expenses. What is I say I shall not wait? What if I burst the fleshly gate and pass, escaped, to thee? What if I file this mortal off, see where it hurt me, –that is enough, –and wade in liberty? They cannot take us any more, –dungeons may call, and guns implore; unmeaning now, to me, as laughter was an hour ago, or laces, or a travelling show, or who died yesterday! #RyanPhillippe 4 of 5
Because people view themselves as separate and limited, they are stressed by their sense of lack. It is common for mortals to look outside of themselves for the satisfaction or their needs. This leads them to the experience themselves as vulnerable because they are insufficient unto themselves. The mind is, therefore, a survival mechanism, and its method of survival is primarily the use of emotions. Thoughts are engendered by the emotions and, eventually, emotions become shorthand for thoughts. Thousands and even millions of thoughts can be replaced by a single emotion. Emotions are more basic and primitive than mental processes. Reason is the tool the mind uses to achieve its emotional ends. When used by the intellect, the basic underlying emotion is usually unconscious or at least out of awareness. When the underlying emotion is forgotten or ignored and not experienced, people are unaware of the reason for their actions and they develop all kinds of plausible reasons. In fact, they frequently do not know what they are doing. There is a simple way to become conscious of the underlying emotional goal behind any activity by asking what for? What do I want respect and approval for? To have the feeling of security. #RyanPhillippe 5 of 5
Over the years he might drift away from me, he might come to condemn the point of passion that had brought him to my heart. He might be lost to me in some other mundane fashion that would wring tears from me all my nights. I never would really lose him. Because I would not lose the lesson of love I am learned from him. And this head had given me, as I had tried to give it to him. The Night was wide, and furnished scant with but a with a single star, that often as a cloud it met blew out itself for fear. The wind pursed the little bush, and drove away the leaves. November left; then clambered up and fretted in the eaves. No squirrel went abroad; a dog’s belated feet like intermittent plush were heard adown the empty street. Among believers not a few maintain that life can be worthwhile and have meaning in some humanly important sense even if the religious World view is rejected. Other, however, agree with the religious theorists that our two questions must be given negative answers if there is no God and if death means personal annihilation. Having rejected the claims of religion, they therefore conclude that life is not worthwhile and that it is devoid of meaning. Some people believe that the World is something which ought not to exist: the truth is that we have not to rejoice but rather to mourn at the existence of the World that its non-existence would be preferable to its existence; that something which ought not to be. And then my heart cries out, my heart will not be still, my heart will not give up, my heart will not give in—the blood that teaches life will not teach lies, and love becomes again my reprimand, my goad, my song. #RyanPhillippe 3 of 5
They are taken in by the enchantment of distance, which shows them paradises. These paradises, however, vanish like optical illusions when we have allowed ourselves to be mocked by them. The fearful envy excited in most men by the thought that somebody else is genuinely happy shows how unhappy they really are, whatever they pretend to others or to themselves. It is only because they feel themselves unhappy that men cannot endure the sight of one who they imagine happy. I want to be a saint, I want to save souls by the millions, I want to look like a angel, but I do not want to talk like a gangster, I do not want to do bad things even to bad guys, I want to be Saint Peter. However, you know me, and come sunset, maybe it will be time to hunt the back roads, and those little out-of-the-way beer joints, sure enough, smell that malt and sawdust, and yeah, right on, dance to Aaliyah on the jukebox, and maybe crush a couple of heavy-duty Evil Doers, guys who are just waiting for me. Who knows just how glorious the firmament with all its breaking clouds and lost little stars will appear as I rise above this Earth and spread out my arms as though there was no want in me for anything warm or good. Be gone from me, oh mortals who are pure of heart. Be gone from my thoughts, oh souls that dream great dreams. I am the magnet for the damned. #RyanPhillippe 5 of 5
The river of the Spirit of God overcomes all obstacles. Never focus your eyes on the obstacle or the difficulty. Nothing must keep you from the one great sovereign Source. Freedom, moral responsibility, and historical inevitability are recurrent themes in discussion of the great man theory. The terms “great” and “outstanding” are frequently used eulogistically. And the term “superman” has such a connotation. The praiseworthiness of greatness is apparent when great men are identified as heroes. Hero worship of the authentic hero is commendable because heroes are sent by Providence to enlighten, to lead, and to save us. Great men are historically significant and it is tantamount to asserting that it is beneficial for us to read about them—not that we thereby understand history any better, but that we become better persons. If history is essentially a means of forming good character, then indeed great men are the substance of history. Because the influence of celebrities, like Ryan Phillippe, is so considerable, he and others are capable of achieving whatever they intend to do. Through determination, a powerful man like Ryan Phillippe uses deliberate actions based on anticipated consequences, that suffices to deliver mankind from inexorable fate. #RyanPhillippe 1 of 7
Whereas what the average agent intends to accomplish is distorted beyond recognition in the combined result of social behavior, but great men are exceptional persons and have a measure of responsibility for and control over mankind’s historical destiny. Ryan Phillippe is not only an exceptional man, but he is a free spirit, who breaks with convention and orthodoxy, revealing new ways of life, new dimensions of human experience through his films and celebrity status. The judgment that creativity is intrinsically valuable is an integral part of film making. Even if the social determinism is theoretically admissible as an approach to historical understanding, the individual’s opportunities for shaping his destiny, however meager, are of primary importance to us as human beings, so that the great man approach to history is more humanly appropriate. We should be as self-reliant, heroic, free, and creative as possible. So in saying that, even if you are not famous or necessarily powerful, this becomes an appeal for creative endeavor to address all mankind by being the best version of yourself that you can be and setting a great example for others to learn from. #RyanPhillippe 2 of 7
It is often the cases that the abilities, interest, accomplishments, character traits, or style of life of individuals who emerge from anonymity in a society exemplify characteristics that, in less noteworthy form, are common to members of the group to which the exceptional individuals belong; therefore, it is possible that there are more great men who many not be as well-known as others. In addition to my father, who I believe to be a great man, I also think that Nick Miller with the East Bay Express is a great man. He is a journalist who speaks up about all kinds of social issues, from injustice to farming methods, community exploitation, animal rescue and craft beers. The retainment of knowledge, serving in a war, being a celebrity, or having an honest career and being a good person can make anyone a great man. The assumption is that we can more readily, and perhaps more adequately, grasp and retain in mind the characteristic traits of the human past or present when these are made available to us as personified in outstanding individuals. We are to be fountains through which blessings flow through us. #RyanPhillippe 3 of 7
Dr. Bernard Harris, the first African American astronaut is also a great man because he overcame circumstances and represents his heritage through accomplishment and merit. Even though the concept of greatness has come to be regarded with the caution due any term so rich in extra theoretical associations, it is worth remarking on its use. When trying to determine if a man is a great man, it is important to evaluate the extent of their influence, whether this influence was beneficial or not, and whether these men were of good character. There are people with great and prestigious careers, but by their actions and beliefs and influence, it can be determined that they are not great men. Although Donald Trump is very controversial, I consider him a great man because of his success in business and the fact that he is built skyscrapers. William Randolph Hearst and William Wirt Winchester are also great men because they are successful men who ran corporations be built many fabulous mansions and castles and industries which employed people and they also donated money to help fund projects in the community. These men are not only great because of their causes, but they are influential, important, and irreplaceable. #RyanPhillippe 6 of 7
There is wide agreement among empirically oriented inquirers that outstanding persons have sometimes been “important” necessary cases of political and economic developments, and even more confident judgments are expressed as to the “decisive” influence of great journalist, actors, artists, scientists, philosophers, and others upon the developments in their own areas of competence. This unanimity attests not to the truth of the great man theory but to extensive de facto agreement on specific presuppositions of inquiry of the sort reveled by an analysis of disagreement. Sometimes traditional theories often either emphasize altruism too much (as in the case of many religious views) or emphasize egoism too much (hedonism). There should be an equal emphasis on self-love and love of one’s neighbor. The highest aim of all ethic and great men is to re-establish a natural equality of egoism and altruism. Along with this should go an emphasis on the body as well as the soul; an emphasis on fair treatment of animals as well as humans. Progress is a law of nature and we need more progression in government, the administration of justice, education, and social and more organization because knowledge of human nature is sadly deficient. #RyanPhillippe 7 of 7
The capacity to love ourselves in for form of increased self-esteem returns and with it comes the capacity to love others. As we experience letting of desires, we begin to see that what we have chosen will come into our lives almost magically. To be good is to be in harmony with one’s self. Goodness and greatness are synonymous words. Men created by God already possess these human traits that are valued most highly such as love, compassion, courage, and truth. It is argued, on one side that, in principle, there are no limitations to an omnipotent God’s capacity to create beings endowed with specific personal characteristics. On the other side, it is argued that a virtue which has been formed as a result of making real decisions in real situations of moral choice is of greater value than the analogous virtue created by the divine fiat, and that it is reasonable to suppose that the Creator is not content to build into men the merely ready-made and unearned easy bake oven qualities. It is strange that all men should consent in commending goodness, and no man endeavor to deserve that commendation; whilst, on the contrary, all rail at wickedness, and all are as eager to be what they abuse. #RyanPhillippe 1 of 6
However, the discernible connection between the more heroic human virtues and the kind of World in which we live remains a very general one. It does not by any means amount to a one-to-one correspondence between each item of evil in human experience and some moral gain accruing to those undergo it. All good-natured men are passionate; and a sincere man cannot hide it. Further, it appears that evil has crushed the human spirit as often as it has developed. In the World of consciousness, like goes to like, so that fear attracts fear just as its corollary is true that love attracts love. The more fear we hold, the more fearful situations we attract to our life. Each fear requires additional energy to create a protective device until, finally, all of our energy is drained into our extensive defensive measures. The willingness to look at a fear and work with it until we are free of it brings about immediate rewards. Each of us has within us a certain reservoir of suppressed and repressed fear. This quantity of fear spills into all areas of our life, colors all of our experiences, and decreases our joy in life. #RyanPhillippe 2 of 6
Eternal happiness of human beings in society with one another and in communion with God, which is symbolized by the “Kingdom of Heaven”; and its fuller claim is that the final fulfillment of God’s purpose for his creatures in his Heavenly Kingdom constitutes a good so great and enduing that it justifies all the pains which have been experienced in order to reach it. (At this point, again, theodicy excludes the notion of eternal torment, for such torment could never serve any good beyond itself, and would thus constitute precisely the kind of unredeemed evil which would make a theodicy impossible.) A fundamental objection which is raised against this appeal to eschatology is that there is a contradiction between justifying a first-order evil, such as danger, as being required for the second-order good of courage, and then justifying the process by which courage is produced out of evil by reference to a future Heavenly state in which, presumably, there will no longer be any dangers, and hence no need to have developed the virtue of courage in the first place. More generally, if Heaven is free from rough edges and evening shade, how will virtues, so dearly bought in this World, survive within it? #RyanPhillippe 3 of 6
Possibly the difficulty might be met in terms of Heavenly analogues of Earthly virtues, created by the development of the latter but no longer requiring the situations which evoked them; or in terms of the transmutation of a particular virtue (courage, for example) into an aspect of faith in God. However, Christian theology has not developed any definitive answer to the questions. God is by definition everything that a being ought to be, then such a being out to be, among other things, real; and to think of him as not being real is therefore to think of him as not being all that he ought, and thus is not to be really thinking of God. The thought of an unreal God is internally incoherent, so if God can be thought of at all (and the man who thinks he does not exist does think of him), he must, if we are to be consistent, be thought of as real. No representative government can long be much better or much worse than the society it represents. Purify society if you purify the government. However, try to purify the government artificially and you only aggravate failure. #RyanPhillippe 4 of 6
Greatness consists in bringing all manner of mischief on mankind, and goodness in removing it from them. Since the beginning of time, every greater teacher has said to look within and find truth, for the trust of what we really are will set us free. If what is to be found within ourselves were something to feel guilty about, something that is rotten, evil and negative, then all the World’s great teachers would not advise us to look there. On the contrary, the would tell us to avoid it at all costs. We will discover that all the things in the World called “evil” are right on the surface; they are right on top, as the superficial, outer thin layer. Beneath these errors is mistakenness. We are not rotten—only ignorant. As the quantity of guilty fear and the energy accompanying it are relinquished, we will notice that physical ailments and symptoms begin to disappear. The goal transforms itself as we approach it. The further we pursue it, the loess able we become to conceive the human good in purely this-World, secular terms. If our neighbor occasionally lapses from lovability and from goodness, we will still forgive them. God’s law is in our hearts and produces an actual moral experience. #RyanPhillippe 5 of 6
The gravitational force of forgiveness acting at a distance is typical of physical forces; the aura of matter interacting by mechanical impact is replaced by a picture of particles of matter interacting by forces at a distance—forces not only gravitational in nature, but also cohesive, elastic, magnetic, electric, and chemical, and not only attractive, but also repulsive. Being freed from guilt brings about a renewal of life energy. This can be dramatically witnessed in many people who are converted through religious experience. The sudden freedom from guilt through the mechanism of forgiveness is responsible for thousands of recoveries from serious and advanced ailments. What is important to notice is that the alleviation of guilt is accompanied by a resurgence of life energy, well-being, and physical health. Forgiveness transmits as heat, light, and magnetism in space otherwise void of matter; in this sense it is understood in terms of analogy with the transmission of sound in air from the vibrations of the wavelengths in our brains that is produces by forgiveness. Forgiveness invokes a particular physical explanation in theory accounting for the colors produced by the refraction of light in thin films from our minds when the loving energy comes to healing ourselves and increasing our own emotional health. #RyanPhillippe 6 of 6
To know your own happiness, and that it is now, nor to leave it to after-reflection to look back upon the preferable past with a heavy and self-accusing heart, that you did not choose it when you might have chosen it, is all that is necessary to complete your felicity. Without being conscious of what money means to us emotionally, we are at the effect of it. We are being run by our unconscious beliefs about money and all of its associated programs. It is like the billionaire who keeps piling up more billions. There never seems to be enough. Why is that? It is because he has never stopped to look at what money really means to him. If we obsessively chase after money or other symbols of wealthy, it is because our inner self-worth is so small that it takes a huge amount of money to compensate for it. The inner insecurity I so extensive that no amount of money can overcome it. It might be said that the smaller we feel inside, the greater amount of power, money, and glamour must be accumulated in order to try and compensate for it. #RyanPhillippe 1 of 5
Happiness he could enjoy only by concealing it. Money and resources in society are scarce. And some people are lucky enough to have the opportunity to work hard and make a lot of money, and they use their luck to earn money so that they can provide for their future and generate generational wealth for their family so they will be secure. When people grow up without worrying about where their next meal is going to come from, how they are going to pay for car repairs or rent, then they can have the freedom in life to do things that they love and find out what truly inspires them. Some others work tirelessly and invest more time than the average person in to generating income and never seem to get ahead in life, but they keep trying because failure and giving up is not an option. One a certain level, we may even appear to be indifferent to money. Once we have the formula for gold, we do not need to carry a bag of it on our shoulder with all of its attendant worries and anxieties. #RyanPhillippe 2 of 5
The problem with excessive accumulation of money, of course, is the constant fear of losing it. It is tragi-comic to watch someone who is worth $50 million dollars practically have a nervous breakdown because, through a business oversight, he lost $10 million dollars. The man was actually in a panic. Emotionally, he was frightened that he would not be able to survive on the planet with only $40 million dollars. The person who suffers from inner poverty is relentlessly driven to accumulate on the material level. With this inner poverty, there is the whole attitude of selfishness or its correlates of vanity and false pride. It is very common for people who use the letting go technique suddenly to come into abundance. Struggling actors now have starring roles in Hollywood. A playwright on the edge of poverty becomes the producer of a blockbuster Broadway hit. #RyanPhillippe 3 of 5
Paradoxically, some people have grown so nonchalant about money that they have chosen to get rid of a lot of money and live much simpler life. They are no longer interested in money; they have mastery over it. The inner satisfaction that they have sought by means of money are now satisfied directly, so that inner happiness is independent of outer wealth. In this state of inner freedom, one is independent of the outer World and no longer at the effect of it. This is because one transcends that which one has mastered. The things we try to avoid and fight against—tribulation, suffering, and persecution—are the very things that produce abundant joy of the Lord in spite of tribulation but because of it. The undiminished radiance, which is the result of abundant joy, is not built on anything passing but on the Love of God that nothing can change. #RyanPhillippe 4 of 5
Will men prefer the happiness of others at the neglect of their own? Why is our happiness sometimes so fragile that commonplace occurrences can ruin the whole day? Well, as a result of negative feelings, thoughts, and attitudes, together with the constant judgment and criticism of other people, we often feel separated from others. Because of this feeling of inner aloneness and separation, relationships take on the form of attachments, with all the fear, anger, and jealousy that accompany any threat to those attachments. The inner negativity results in such commonly held beliefs as, “You are born alone and you pass away alone.” Nothing, in fact, is father from the truth. As recent books on near-death experiences reveal, it is during life that one often feels alone, and at the moment of passing away, there is an absolute feeling of oneness and connectedness. If we cannot be as happy as we wish, we should rejoice in the happiness we can have. #RyanPhillippe 5 of 5
