You can say the world is a hostile place and you would be correct. Then you can think about blocks upon blocks of homes where people are living in pleasant families and everything is peaceful and that is also accurate. The light and the dark coexist. You have to choose where you want to live, in the light or the dark places. |
Fri. 11/24/17 3:53pm
Adrian in London:
@Guido It'll be an amazing show. | |
