Life is risk.... Filled with tragedy and rewards!
- "For all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these : ' It might have been!'" - John Greenleaf Whittier
Letting go, of all that they knew, they embraced the unknown and chose the path less certain.... They were searching for something better, than, that offered by already existing: civilization, material-wealth, and its resultant societal life - of comfort and ease. They sought, "The Freedom to Pursue Happiness, however it might be found " - knowing full well, how elusive was that most coveted desire!
