My Daughter's First Letter
My dear Papa, I love you.i miss you. Take Care. COME BACK QUICKLY. Bring one pencil, one eraser and lots of clouds for me. Parul Thus, my daughter, all of four, wrote to me! Labels: Bliss
I quote the words of Bertrand Russel.... Three passions have governed my life: the longings for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of humankind. Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness. In the union of love I have seen in a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of people. I have wished to know why the stars shine. Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens, but always pity brought me back to earth; cries of pain reverberated in my heart of children in famine, of victims tortured, and of old people left helpless. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. This has been my life and I found it worth living!.
