Excerpt

"How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it?" -Marcus Aurelius
John Stevic was an average student. It did not bother him so much that he was not too successful, for he had always found more pleasure in observing nature in all her glory, than from academic pursuit. From the beauty of a star filled night sky to the leap of a dolphin or even the repetitious announcements of a northern mockingbird, his soul was warmed by the pleasure of wilderness, wildlife, and the wonder of it all. But as fate would have it, John was now a miserable and poverty stricken graduate student in the Department of Microbiology at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

John had pushed himself as hard as he could in the academic world of a graduate student. He had abstained from the diversions rife in the college town where he lived. He avoided the parties, dating, and other social events and concentrated on his research, teaching undergraduate laboratories, and putting in long hours at the bench for his advisor who often published the work without giving him proper credit. Success for John was proving to be more difficult than he had ever imagined. His experiments usually failed and his isolation and loneliness were taking a heavy toll on his mental state. He was sinking into a deep depression that would place his life, as well as all of humanity, in grave danger.
