The fate of man... The hope of man is written in sorrow.
Singing brings joy and revitalises the human soul. I think that song is the highest achievement of the Lilim culture.
You are extremely afraid of any kind of initial contact, aren't you? Are you that afraid of other people? I know that by keeping others at a distance, you avoid a betrayal of your trust. But while you may not be hurt that way, you mustn't forget that you must endure the loneliness. Man can never completely erase this sadness, because all men are fundamentally alone.
