What I Have Lived For

　　Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for　love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These　passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a　deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.

　　I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy---ecstasy so great that I would often　have sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours for this joy. I have sought it, next, because　it relieves　loneliness---that　terrible　loneliness　in which　one shivering　consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I　have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the　prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought,　and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what---at last---I have found.　With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of　men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the　Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not　much, I have achieved.

　　Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But　always it brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart.　Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to　their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.　This has been my life. I have found it worth　　living, and would gladly live it again if the　chance were offered me.
