What was the meaning of my life? Why had so many joys and sorrows passed over me? Why had I thirsted for the true and beautiful and why was my thirst still unquenched?... And why had God placed the burning need to be loved in my heart when in fact he had destined me to live the life of a recluse whom no one loved?
