What we all want, really, is to be loved. That craving drives our worst behavior.

Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the same horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men. Now, women forget all those things they don't want to remember, and remember everything they don't want to forget. The dream is the truth. Then they act and do things accordingly.

Become the leader of your life. Lead yourself to where you want to be. Breathe life back into your ambitions, your desires, your goals, your relationships.

If you don't know what you want, you'll never find it. If you don't know what you deserve, you'll always settle for less. You will wander aimlessly, uncomfortably numb in your comfort zone, wondering how life has ended up here. Life starts now, live, love, laugh and let your light shine!

Inside of all of us there is the need and the desire to be heard, to have our innermost thoughts, feelings and desires expressed for others to hear, to see and to understand.

The typical atheist rebels against God as a teenager rebels against his parents. When his own desires or standards are not fulfilled in the way that he sees fit, he, in revolt, storms out of the house in denial of the Word of God and in scrutiny of a great deal of those who stand by the Word of God. The epithet 'Heavenly Father' is a grand reflection, a relation to that of human nature.

Christianity set itself the goal of fulfilling man’s unattainable desires, but for that very reason ignored his attainable desires. By promising man eternal life, it deprived him of temporal life, by teaching him to trust in God’s help it took away his trust in his own powers; by giving him faith in a better life in heaven, it destroyed his faith in a better life on earth and his striving to attain such a life. Christianity gave man what his imagination desires, but for that very reason failed to give him what he really and truly desires.

I believe in the existence of multiple parallel universes that form a multiverse. And the only way to ramify with it is through our sole duty of following our own natural inclinations and our particular talents composed of many different realities. Hence, generating a dynamic energy capable of opening the horizons of the mind, producing new scenarios, and being part of this elaborate system of channels that plays an absolutely essential role and that, if it did not exist, would make life on Earth unfeasible. With that being said, I can only reiterate that we are all able of taking advantage of our own creative spirit. Unfortunately, the great majority desires and focuses exclusively on the rapid successes of wealth, status and power, and seek being compared to the great geniuses -without sincere dedication or passion, trampling on their own talents and imagination. And this can be felt in many cases where the technique is seen but does not convey any emotion. Consequently, the production as an end in itself does not satisfy any of those desires nor the existence of multiple parallel universes that form a multiverse.
