Java Zen:Thinking Out Loud Thursday, 2025.09.04 
There is an underbelly of terror to all life. It is suffering, it is hurt. Deep
within all of us are intense fears that have left few of us whole. Life's
terrors haunt us, attack us, leave ugly cuts. To buffer ourselves, we dwell on
beauty, we collect things, we fall in love, we desperately try to make something
lasting in our lives. We take beauty as the only worthwhile thing in this
existence, but it cannot veil cursing, violence, randomness, and injustice.

Only knowledge removes this fear.

Words gather.
Spell check.
That’s not what I meant.
