Teach, Learn, Share

"Why if we can enjoy life with a fullness like no other organism, do we often falter? Life exists in individual moments and it is up to us to make sure those moments are vital, interconnected and vast. That our process of living, of contributing to the collective experience of life is embracing, nurturing and meaningful. To create a masterpiece out of life. A life we would willingly repeat, if we had to live it again and again for all of eternity. This is what we can strive for." - Jean-Paul Sartre
