It is hard indeed to find a reason, when the soul of world seems void. But if you stubbornly refuse to bend, you will win through in the end. For the spirit must journey through slime, before it can turn sublime. Corollary: Give me an army of lovers, and I shall conquer bureaucracy! Nah! Not really... … but maybe, just maybe...
