Walls
Destiny is a life unlived, a dream unfulfilled.
People hide beneath the canopy of security all their lives,
not wanting to take a risk. Content, they try to build
their own version of the Berlin Wall, trying to escape, yet no one survives
in this make-believe world. You can barricade yourself from reality, but never the truth.
We must never permit the voice of humanity within us to be silenced. It is Man's sympathy with all creatures that first makes him a Man.
--Albert Schweitzer
Everything can be taken from a man or a woman but one thing: the last of human freedoms to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.
