What I am

"No greater opportunity or obligation can fall the lot of a human being than to be a physician. In the care of the suffering, he needs technical skill, scientific knowledge, and human understanding. He who uses these with courage, humility and wisdom will provide a unique service for his fellow man and will build an enduring edifice of character within himself. The physician should ask of his destiny no more than this, and he should be content with no less."

Lingering thoughts

Perhaps, I was right from the start. I should never have trusted some people. I live in a world so much different than theirs. A world that's so much more alive, colorful, bright, and vibrant than they could possibly ever imagine. A sophisticated, high end, exclusive world, they probably will never ever touch or even get a glimpse of in their pathetic lives. I was always ahead. But I stumbled in a foolish trap. I stooped down. I nearly became one of them. And I hated myself for that.
