Mystic

Sharing knowledge is my passion.

My interest in writing started very recently. For so long I wasn't even aware if I had the ability to write. But once I started, I found it very easy to write what I think and it was very surprising to me. I am glad I came across this new side of me and all your comments and suggestions on my articles are welcome.

Philosophy is one of my varied interests. Apart from that I am passionate about art. And also,

Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].

Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.

With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of [people].
I have wished to know why the stars shine.

Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.

This has been my life; I found it worth living.
- BERTRAND RUSSELL
