Good one! Wonder how many times in one's life it is greater than one!

Let me try adding more factors to the ratio. What do you think rohan, does 'Time of Life' has to do anything with the ratio? Do we see a corelation?

peace

lament for icarus

words of wisdom

If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs. And maybe your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery, isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance.
