Secret PlacesSecret Places by ~threwthedoor
There are places in the world. Secret places.
Secret because they are both hidden and known by few.
And also because they hide secrets themselves.
But what do they hide? Where can they be found?
If you are patient, you will know.
To find one, you must be brave. Are you brave?
You must also be smart. How smart are you?
It helps to be strong, quick, and cunning.
Because, as most secrets are, these places are kept secret.
Kept.
Even if you knew where they were, you could never reach them unless you were prepared.
Some are guarded.
Some exist in places so remote that no human has ever been there.
Some have been visited many times, but people
The Truth People often ask "what is the meaning of life?" For thousands of years, philosophers, prophets, scientists, and artists have tried to find and express the answer to this question. Well, I am here to tell you this: meaning is a human invention. We impose it on the universe, but it does not obey our thinking. Science is amended daily and religion fades into tradition.

Cut loose and disparate from their fellows
Facing slings and arrows of their own peers
For matters unchangable by their hands;
A lot in life delivered unto them
By the Moirai, spinning a tragic fate
and a tragic end; the crone Atropos
severing their thread of life most cruelly.
Woe betide the man who in his heart finds
Eros resides where Phileo would be,
For the basest impulse which unites us
Instead sets him out; now a pariah
By a technicality of his birth.
And yet is it no more a tragedy
To suffer for one's form or complexion
Or for one's wisdom, mind or demeanor?
These tragic lots deliv
