True 'joy' is the difference between just amusing ourselves to death and creating 'meaningful' pleasure.

I cannot be understood in three minutes.

I never had an occasion to question color, therefore, I only saw myself as what I was... a human being.

I was a gift to my mother. She was a remarkable person. God or nature, or whatever those forces are, smiled on her, then passed me the best of her.

I find myself, at this time in my life, no less challenged, no less plagued, no less intrigued by what I still don't know.
