Choose one

There are three kinds of souls and three kinds of prayers.

1) I am a bow in your hands,Lord.Draw me lest I rot.

2)Do not overdraw me ,Lord.I shall break.

3)Overdraw me,Lord.Who cares if I break.

Choose one.

To be or not to be

"In every generation, there are a few souls, call them lucky or cursed, who are simply born not belonging, who come into the world without strong affiliation to family or location or nation or race; those who value stability, who fear transience, uncertainty, change, have erected a powerful system of stigmas and taboos against rootlessness so that we mostly conform, we hide our secret identities beneath false skins of those identities which bear the belongers' seal of approval. But the truth leaks out in our dreams; alone in our beds—because we are all alone at night, even if we do not sleep by ourselves—we soar, we fly, we flee."


--Salman Rushdie
