This continuing cycle is called samsara, and the only escape from it is when a person reaches Moksha. Moksha is the Hindu resting place for the soul, or when a person is supposed to be united with Brahman, the Hindu God.

He was a climber at heart, and the sprawling snow-capped mountains will always be burned into his memory.

The essay Black Men and Public Space by Brent Staples is very relatable to my life. I feel that it is easy to follow the essay since I live a similar life to Brent Staples every day because I am also African American. I read the everyday conflicts Staples goes through during his life in Chicago and New York and it was almost like I was him.
