Many people believe they know true darkness, but until it has been experienced it cannot be imagined. Without even a flicker of light, the mind begins to play tricks. There is a constant feeling that there is a wall before you, that you must stop. Th...

I believe in freedom of speech, but I believe we should also have the right to comment on freedom of speech.
