The longing for love, the pursuit of knowledge, and the irresistible compassion for human suffering are the three simple yet profound emotions that have governed my life. These emotions, like gales, have swept through my turbulent life, sometimes even crossing the depths of profound sorrow and reaching the edge of despair.
There are three reasons why I pursue love. First, love sometimes brings me ecstasy, so powerful that it makes me willing to sacrifice everything else in my life just to experience a few hours of joy. Second, love can dispel loneliness—the shivering consciousness of those who have experienced that terrible loneliness sometimes makes them observe from the edge of the world the cold, lifeless abyss. nally, in the union of love, I see an epitome of the paradise dreamed of by sages and poets of all ages, which is the realm of life I seek. Although it may be too ideal for ordinary human life, it is the ultimate discovery I have gained through love.
I have pursued knowledge with the same passion. I long to understand the human mind, to know why stars shine, and to comprehend the power of Pythagoras. The realms of love and knowledge always lead me to the heights of paradise, but compassion for human suffering often brings me back to the real world. Those painful cries frequently echo deep within my soul. The hungry children, the oppressed and tortured, the lonely and helpless elderly who bear heavy burdens for their children, as well as the global existence of loneliness, poverty, and suffering, are a disregard and irony of the ideal of human life. I often hope to do my utmost to alleviate this unnecessary suffering, but I find that I have completely failed, and thus I also feel great pain.
This is my life—I have discovered that life is worth living. If anyone were to give me another chance at life, I would gladly accept this rare gift.
