I
have always tried to understand the world, my world. To understand is to be
human, it's our gift, our obligation, our glory, our fate, our life. To
understand this world is to make this world better, for us, for all who exist in
it. To understand is to act, and I am ready to act. But let me first describe
what I have come to understand in my 40 years.
* * *
As I approach the age of no-doubt, I see the world from
above and within, I see people whom I have never met, I see love that I
would never have, I see life from my death, I see myself, insignificant,
yet everything, to me. I no longer doubt about seeing them, I no longer
question my conviction. As I find and commit to my fate in the decade to
come, I shall look back, and sing, Forever Young.
