Francisco

Past

Matter
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't think anyone, no matter what, can find perfect happiness until they understand exactly who they are and how every little thing they do can affect the world around them. I think perfect happiness would be a world where everyone is constantly striving to understand everyone else.

Regret

Me

Mind
