"In the paradox of our era we find ourselves in an age of consequence.

Some stand at the intersection of belief and doubt, others between hope and despair, while many of us are confused by blatant idiocracy."

 SOF commentary track: 

"Sometimes the only way out of something is through." was the original sentence that inspired me to look into Caravaggio painting “The Calling of Saint Matthew,” 
 It's somewhat paradoxical that Caravaggio painted this because of the fact that he led an extremely "notorious public life." 

 
 The contrasts of light and dark in his paintings is very spot on to how he lived his life. Very much two extremes of each other. 
 When you synthesize this down nothing holds more truth than Hugo’s, ”People do not lack strength, they lack will.”
