Questions like these arise in the heart of such a person: Are you really happy living this way? Can you continue to live in such inner emptiness? Is not life meant to be more than this? Why do you hurt those who love and need you, living the way you do? In your deepest heart you yearn for a fulfillment that you cannot find living this way; why will you not seek it where it can be found? As it draws to its end, will you be happy to look back on the life you are leading now?
