“Inherently within the temperamental soul of humanity lies a shivering and thoroughly jealous irrational thought of death. Life has such a fickle intense passion, always moving yet never brooding upon its incorrigible end; O' the morbid thoughts within thus reeks the smell of the inescapable preoccupation of living; which is in essence our pain, joy, and truths.
