From recovery to rags and rags to recovery symbolizes art - a perfect compilation of human imperfections.

I am thankful when I am hungry because then I know that when I eat, the food will taste better. Life has taught me that my true contentment rests in hope, and the pleasure itself is secondary. It is self-awareness, not happiness, that maintains peace.

Feel what it's like to truly starve, and I guarantee that you'll forever think twice before wasting food.

The typical atheist rebels against God as a teenager rebels against his parents. When his own desires or standards are not fulfilled in the way that he sees fit, he, in revolt, storms out of the house in denial of the Word of God and in scrutiny of a great deal of those who stand by the Word of God. The epithet 'Heavenly Father' is a grand reflection, a relation to that of human nature.

Thus it takes a bit of determination and a lot of humility in order for one to fully develop.
