What I have lived for.....

I'm a fan of Bertrand Russell. I haven't read all of what he has written; I believe that would take more than my lifetime. And it has always been, and will be, my dream to write a book. On philosophy, on life. And if I could end up writing a prologue as good as what Bertrand wrote for his autobiography, my life would be made.

Well, for a start I decided to read his autobiography to get some inspiration. In his prologue he says 'Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.' The entire prologue is invaluable; wise words. I'm amazed at the clarity of thought that he had. How he could summarise a life in a page, so clearly and wonderfully.

If I could even touch the shores of the ocean that Bertrand was, I would've known what I lived for.....
