I have walked through this world, and I have journeyed inward
I have warmed in the light of all things, and I have known the cold that is found in the heart of darkness
I have listened intently to the words of those most pious, and I have nursed from the breast of depravity
I have seen clearly, and I have stumbled in confusion
I have laughed without end, and I have cried without hope
I have given life, and I have taken life
I have revеled in wealth, and I have starvеd in poverty
I have learned from the greatest books and minds, and I have seen the folly in the vanity of intellect
I have known adulation and victory, and I have known isolation and defeat
I have known what it is to find, and I have known what it is to have lost
And I tell you this:
I have seen no fortune, nor wisdom, nor pleasure greater than.....love
