These are: one, amnesia; two, euphoria; three, ecstasy. Amnesia is not knowing who one is and wanting desperately to find out. Euphoria is not knowing who one is and not caring. Ecstasy is knowing exactly who one is–and still not caring.

At college, I found most of the intellectually developed people–students and professors–to be atheists. They seemed to take personal pride in the lack of a Creator. There isn’t any God, ha ha ha.
