clever hate heart
There's a truth deeper than experience. It's beyond what we see, or even what we feel. It's an order of truth that separates the profound from the merely clever, and the reality from the perception.

It doesn't always help us to love the world, but it does prevent us from hating the world. And the only way to know that truth is to share it, from heart to heart, just as Prabhakar told it to me, just as I'm telling it to you now. Gregory David Roberts

Ignatius of Antioch

He no longer knew. So much have been given to him in Fantastica, and now, among all these gifts and powers, he could no longer find himself.
