INTRODUCTION
There is an escape; a way to be free.
Life is suffering. We make sense of it with science,
religion, and reality. We all seek love; an end to
suffering. Like animals, we are hungry chasing after hallow
appetites that do not satisfy. Sex, drugs, love, money,
power, wealth, fame.
I wanted to be a writer, but i could never write. Though
painting was my talent, no one was a painter. My work could
never contribute to society, my work couldn't cure cancer,
feed the poor. I wanted to be the best person I could be. I
was good, but i was never good enough.
Its the universal dream to create. We were made for it; the
only mammals, other than god that can form beauty out of
nothing. Art is an Expression. Its what I lived for. The
Dream and Desire; and what threatens it.
Death is inevitable; death is fixed. Our desires lead a
life, and that life leads to death. I want to be complete,
But one can only hope for such things. I will never be
fulfilled by what's hallow. But there is an escape and that
is rebirth, a complete renewal of self. A way out of this
life. There is is an escape. Its mine to take. There was a
choice i had to make; who i was going to be? Life is
suffering, we are the cause. That's all I really know.
