Privation and suffering alone open the mind to all that is hidden to others. (Igjugarjuk)

Joseph CampbellMen sometimes confess they love war because it puts them in touch with the experience of being alive.

Life is pain; life is suffering; and life is horror - but, by God, you are alive.
Joseph Campbell
