About this ebook
We have the intrinsic need to believe in our purpose, meaning, and design in this world, lifetime . . . whatever. Without that, our reason for being, for our existence, is futile. We become obsolete, unnecessaryor so we are led to believe. Its pure arrogance, egotism. Yet its imperative to our survival as a species and vital to our evolution. It is not enough to just be. How ludicrous is it to entertain the notion that were in this world just to live in it.
Imagine yourself stopping to smell a rose. Out of all the billions of flowers in this world, that rose, until you happened, went unnoticed by all others. Your seeing, smelling, appreciating, and touching it validates the existence of that solitary rose. But is that roses existence truly defined by your acknowledgment? Or is it just a rose and you just someone smelling it?

MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
