How great and ever expanding are you, in all manner exceeding comprehension, and yet cradled yourself therein, beckoning, such that I would recognize in this organization the complexities of insight via those most unknowable elements of my own system, within, though I have sought foolishly without? How am I supposed to do that which I am supposed to do, given that my own origin is opposed to my own purpose, and how then have I any purpose, constructed and versed only in the disgusting and filthy, elected to praise that for which there is no hope, hopeful for that which I alone praise.
