This inadequacy is overwhelming. Why do we do this to ourselves? Pick ourselves up With silly hopes and pointless dreams. A life of melancholy, A heart bursting with cynicism...

&ldquo;There comes a time in our lives when we do things that we don&rsquo;t understand. We confuse ourselves, we might even logically oppose our impulses and yet we act on them anyway... There are some things that we feel that we absolutely must do. We might know that they are wrong, or pointless, or gravely punishable, and yet we do them anyway. These actions are not born of anger or emotion &ndash; we are perfectly sober. It&rsquo;s rather inexplicable. When the time comes, we can&rsquo;t stop ourselves and so we cannot blame ourselves.&rdquo; -Umasi, Truancy
