Note 16

"What type of paradise would you like to enter?"

A Christians paradise?

A Islamic paradise?

A Buddhists paradise?

All human imagination seemed to have dried up

The same old chewed up ideas ceased to inspire me

Without new visions, Paradise has become tasteless

Happiness is after all, is the ability to feel...

Which is precisely what he lost.

Although many deaths had left his body intact

They killed the nerves that allowed him sensation.

When A dentist numbs the mouth, cold, hot, sweet, sour lose their meaning.

In the same way, Paradise had lost any meaning for him

Rather than find some utopia

His goal was to piece together his shattered soul

He hoped in the process of looking for shards in the wastelands, in the garbage heaps

He retrieve a small piece of any nerve that would allow him to feel.
