Atman: An Introduction To Suffering

It leads to the conclusion that war is inevitable, that mankind is doomed That we are gripped by forces we cannot control We need not accept that view, our problems are man-made Therefore, they can be solved by man And man can be as big as he wants No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings Man's reason and spirit have often solved the seemingly unsolvable And we believe they can do it again And our own fortune with the uncrumpling determination of our people We will bring the inevitable triumph, so help us God I am all, and I was made to suffer I will watch as everything that I love dies I am one, and I was ground down to nothing
