Context: Consciously or unconsciously, directly or indirectly, each and every creature, each and every human being — in one form or the other — strives to assert individuality.

Context: Follow me on a journey into heaven and hell,
past angels and devils, into the realm of dreams.

without regret. For in the morning we must return
