He said God gave us a body to build the world, and the devil gave us a mind to destroy it.

His words carried an elegance that carved themselves deep into my mind, I woke the next day in a panic. I had an interview, and I had prepared niche. 

The next day, I consider my life a 5 course meal of failure, upon failure, upon failure, upon failure, upon defeat. The devil could not reach me so he gave me the talent but not the passion, he gave me the will but not the way. He gave me the blade but not the hands, he gave me the song but not the instrument. 

We all lack something, apart form the man who lacks everything. That man is called death.
