=** What Makes Life Worth Living? **=

=== The joy in life is from our encounters with new experiences, therefore there is no greater joy than an endlessly changing horizon; for each day to have a new and different sun. You have to share and experience these new encounters through another human being. This will not only impact you, but also impact another. ===



"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today." James Dean

**Only then will he/she truly have a life of pleasure and contentment**.

And light the universe with their admonishing smile.

No man can violate his nature.

Only then will we truly seek tranquility...
