Sin City

While searching for justice, I learned that no matter what wrong people do, God doesn’t come out of the skies to perish them, lightning doesn’t strike them dead and earth doesn’t open to bury their sinful souls. The strong and clever get to enjoy the bounties of the heaven they create for themselves and the weaker will always spend their lives resenting their hell and waiting for justice to serve its purpose.

What Is Fake Within?

They do their best to say what they say, because they don’t want anyone go away unfulfilled. But if we have not been through pain in life, we cannot understand what pain is, we can only imagine its intensity. It’s easier to give it an absolute value and then multiply it with a valid superscript. But you can never read loss, you can only feel it. You can never measure pain, only go through it alone.

Give me all the earthly treasures That a single man can hold Put the magic in my fingers That turns everything to gold Hand me the sun, say that I've won The world on a string And then I will have almost everything! ~ Extract from Richard Marx's song 'Almost Everything' from the album 'Days in Avalon'.
