Kishan Munroe
In times of life’s suffering, there is often a glimmer of
hope, something of this world that is seemingly controlled by
a supreme entity. To survive, we unknowingly and forcefully thrust
ourselves into the world of the unforeseen, where perpetual agony
could only be soothed by the promises and rituals of religion,
which in turn urges us to emancipate ourselves yet again from
this world, to transcend to a metaphysical state where the ties
of life can no longer restrain.
