"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 the 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."

Bertrand Russell

From the Prologue to the "Autobiography of Bertrand Russell"
Little, Brown And Company; Boston; 1968.

Like Bertrand Russell, I too have been driven by these same three passions; but unlike him, I have failed at the first; and, still, unlike Russell (at least what he says in his Prologue), I have, to a great extent, achieved the second; and, in the third, I too, suffer. But, unlike him, I have one more passion that rules me: the unity of humanity; in that alone, I continue to live, at the same time with hope, for how does that old saw go: "while there is life there is hope!"

So, gentle reader, remember this while you read these essays, for while we live and breathe hope springs eternal!
