Short Talks on Character Building (1892)

Darkness is the veil covering the eyes of a world with more than six billion souls. The sun sets and the moon rises, and yet for many it feels as if time is only a torture device. Everyday men and women of all ages and backgrounds are surrounded by those who love them, those who hate them, and those who donat know them; nonetheless, the love for all has waxed cold, and the feeling of isolation is abound. Despair has replaced hope; depression has taken the place of faith. Every waking day is clutched by the icy grips of death, and the feel of light is illusive. It seems that no amount of success can close the gap between the human soul, the human heart and love and life. Daring to challenge the truths of these perilous times, college student David Mitchell begins a journey that will forever change his world. In search for an answer to destroy the lifelessness that grips his soul, David observes the world that surrounds as well as his own personal life. Vivid, critical, and daring, the story of one manas life is bound to change the views of many.
