“Pter Mirmotahari had once visited Victoria high school as a guest lecturer, back when I was in the 5th standard. I was mesmerized by how much he really cared for the well being of children. He is the reason why I am working as a social worker for 2 years now.”

“The whole of life but labours in the dark.
For just as children tremble and fear all
In the viewless dark, so even we at times
Dread in the light so many things that be
No whit more fearsome than what children feign,
Shuddering, will be upon them in the dark.
This terror then, this darkness of the mind,
Not sunrise with its flaring spokes of light,
Nor glittering arrows of morning can disperse,
But only nature's aspect and her law.”
― Lucretius On the Nature of Things
For just as children tremble and fear all
In the viewless dark, so even we at times
Dread in the light so many things that be
No whit more fearsome than what children feign,
Shuddering, will be upon them in the dark.
This terror then, this darkness of the mind,
Not sunrise with its flaring spokes of light,
Nor glittering arrows of morning can disperse,
But only nature's aspect and her law.”
― Lucretius On the Nature of Things
