“What is life but a trail of fast-sinking hopes and desires? A sage Arab poet-philosopher has said, "Life is pain and torment from beginning to end. I wonder not, except at him who wishes to prolong this lifetime of suffering." A momentary pause shows us that this definition is not an exercise in fantasy or oratory. Not a day or an hour passes without numerous proofs and reinforcements of its validity. Has not everyone passionately explored life's battleground of struggle?”
