For the most part we humans live with the false impression of security and a feeling of being at home in a seemingly familiar and trustworthily physical and human environment.

But once we fully accept this, life becomes easier and there is no longer any disappointment.

I am doing just fine, considering that I have triumphantly survived Nazism and two wives.
