CHAPTER XVI.
THE ONLY ONE.
"Before the monstrous wrong he sets him down-- One man against a stone walled city of sin.

R.SILL.
There are a great many people in this world--hundreds of millions, tables of population foot up.

Yet in a sense each one of us is the only one.

Each individual life has relations of its own in which it must stand alone, and into which no other life can come.
Companionships may be close, and they may give much comfort and inspiration, but in all the inner meaning of life each individual lives apart and alone.

No one can live your life for you.
