A person's sense of morality and responsibility to other human beings, must not come from a professed faith or belief system. Because when it does - it is merely a projection and not an internalization.

Nightfall.
"What a strange word.
'Night' I get.
But 'fall' is a gentle word.
Autumn leaves fall, swirling with languid grace
To carpet the earth with their dying blaze.

Shimmering softly, before they melt away.
Night doesn't fall here.
It comes slamming down. — Karen Marie Moning
