Across the freeway stands another structure from the other side of the mirror it destroys the logical processes of the mind, a man's thoughts become completely disorganized, madness streaming from every throat frustrated sounds from the bars, metallic sounds from the walls the steel trays, iron beds bolted to the wall, thr smells, the human waste.

Life's every moment, hour and day is important. So, man must use it purposefully. For this, it is necessary that everyday he does self-study of a ved mantra, half a shloka, shlokansh or a word. If for any reason he is unable to do so, then he must donate. If it is not possible to donate, then he should perform an act of kindness or do a good deed during the day. People, who do not follow this, are wasting every moment of their life.

At best Americans give but a limited attention to history. Too much happens too rapidly, and before we can evaluate it, or exhaust its meaning or pleasure, there is something new to concern us.

~ Ralph Ellison
