Prologue

I'm an old man, at the age where there's nothing much in life for me to do. My body has become disabled, but my memory is still intact. Every single detail, every smell, taste, sight, and emotion is still in this brain, the only thing that's still able to tell the world my story. A story of fear and contentment, love and hurt, life and death, it's about losing and finding, and also about religion and God. Most of all though, it's a life story full of lessons that one can only learn by living a life in this cruel world.

The bumps in the road of my life, the trouble’s I’ve faced all taught me lessons I wouldn’t have learned if these problems didn’t exist. Everyone’s life has its twists and turns, ups and downs, and some people have more of these turns, some people even go through loops of problems that never seem to end. My problems may be common in today’s world, but the lessons I’ve learned cannot be replaced.
