Unfortunately we don’t always know what we don’t know. It can be vexing to the extreme.

I’d try to have both types of happiness, reason and no reason, just to be safe.
That’s life. Isn’t it?
when it’s raining and you go grocery shopping and the only bags they have are paper bags, that’s when you feel you’re becoming evil
I think the music is always there and we just don’t notice all the time. Dancers say dancing is not a mere representation of life, but life itself. So do poets and musicians. Science says energy never dies but transforms.

Remarkable Women in History by Country: Sudan
Amanirenas
The Kingdom of Kush lay to the South of Egypt and is famous for its more pointed pyramids. Several Queens have ruled Kush, but one of the greatest is certainly Amanirenas.
