About Me

"is the bleakness of this world of mine a reflection of my poverty or my honesty, a sympton of weakness or of strength, an indication that i have strayed from my path or that i am following it? --will despair provide the answer?"

My Interests

iThink.

I'd like to meet:

"the night on golgotha is so important in the history of man only because, in its shadow, the divinity abandoned its traditional privileges and drank to the last drop, despair included, the agony of death. this is the explanation of the 'lama sabactani' and the heartrending doubt of Christ in agony. the agony would have been mild if it had been alleviated by hopes of eternity. for God to be a man, he must despair."
