“they told me my job description but i think i’ve got it wrong. they said i was supposed to man the lighthouse and save lost ships from going down.
but every time i saw the ships i forgot about the light. i dove headfirst into the sea and swam to save their life.
  i drowned us both in the process; the ships never found the shore. i ended up helping less when i meant to be helping more.
  i think when they told me to save people with my light, i mistook their words and tried to save people with my life.
  i know i should have turned the light on, i know i should have taken their advice, but i don’t know what love is if it is not sacrifice.”

“The man who is forever disturbed about the condition of humanity either has no problems of his own or has refused to face them.”
