Description
Excerpt from Annie Besant: An Autobiography
Yet more difficult when that life is one''s own. At the best, the telling has a savour of vanity, and the only excuse for the proceeding is that the life, being an average one, re?ects many others, and in troublous times like ours may give the experience of many rather than of one. And so the autobiographer does his work because he thinks that, at the cost of some unpleasantness to himself, he may throw light on some of the typical problems that are vexing the souls of his contemporaries, and perchance may stretch out a helping hand to some brother who is struggling in the darkness, and so bring him cheer when despair has him in its grip. Since all of us, men and women of this restless and eager generation - surrounded by forces we dimly see but cannot as yet understand, discontented.
