Very few realize what burdens geniuses carry their whole lives - what of Van gogh, of Edgar Allan Poe, of the mathematician John Nash?
Very few realize how hard it might have been to constantly manage and control that great power that they possess, to undertake it all alone, ostracized by the society that fails to [...]

 Have you ever wondered how only God can love us unconditionally?  Because only God is perfect and need not anything from us.  If He will love us, we can be certain that it’s not because He wants anything back. 
We can’t love like that.  Our love, however good is still conditional.  We want something in return [...]

not a single penny you can toss

Seems a bit shocking, but in my country this seems to be the case.  For while beggars roam the streets for food or for whatever garbage to scavenge, the rich [...]

I may not leave lasting footprints when I pass by, but may I pass on a flame that will keep on burning until it reaches another torch that will carry on the radiance of its warmth.
