Sorrow and Joy, Volume One

At least once in our lives, we ask ourselves, what does it mean to be human? Does it mean being kind to others? Helping them in their time of need? Being devoted to your job? Making a family, or a legacy? Or perhaps it's something more extreme, like devoting yourself to your country, perhaps at the cost of your life? Or, may be... is it fighting against the Unknown? What you don't understand? What you see as "evil"?
This is a story of sorrow and joy, the elusive day when everything came together, and darkness and light incarnate were as one.
And, all of it... started with a blast.
