Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid
Ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances.
Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life,
and now I know that we must lift the sail
and catch the winds of destiny
whever they drive the boat
to put meaning in ones life may end in madness
but life without meaning is torture
of resllessnes and vague desire -
it is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid.
— Edger Lee Masters
