My Life and My Charms

'Everything outside of you is meaningless...for in my short life, I had traveled across the world, cavorting with some of the most beautiful women - none of which has born my child or will accompany me in the afterlife. Meaningless. Prior to my imprisonment, I was enslaved to worldly desires and misused my talents, never fully enjoying or understanding the prosperity of those days. Meaningless.
