“THE CHRISTIAN SAYS, CREATURES ARE NOT BORN F0R CERTAIN SATISFACTIONS UNLESS THOSE SATISFACTION EXIST, A BABY FEELS HUNGER, WELL, THERE IS SUCH A THING AS FOOD. A DUCKLING WANTS TO SWIM, WELL, THERE IS SUCH A THING AS WATER. IF FIND MYSELF A DESIRE WHICH NO EXPERIENCE IN THIS WORLD CAN SATISFY THE MOST PROBABLE EXPLANATION IS, I WAS MADE FOR ANOTHER WORLD.”
