The great complexities of this world are not so complex; or rather, the complications of this world are not complications of the world, but rather are complications of man imposed upon the world. The world is vast, the world is whole; we men and women and children are but a part. We experience, we assign meaning and roles-- and, invariably, we die. And some of us attain peace. Man is of little consequence. Life is good. Death is not bad, though it causes sadness in Man.
