At first, he thought he was in love with Haskell, for he could program in it every day without feeling bored. But later, some dark currents flowing under the seemingly blissful moments began to invade his senses, unfathomable fear of losing his authentic Self floating on the lake of the Heart, mocking his conformity and self-deception. At the same time, a strong force was pulling him into a different state of being, and this force was not coming from the outer world but always running in his veins, waiting for their voices finally to be heard. This is a yearning towards Beauty thus Eternity, and ultimately Freedom.

He began to remember why he fell in love with Haskell in the first place. It was not because of its efficiency or practicality (if this programming language possesses such qualities), but its elegance and the ideas behind such subtle constructions. And he found it kind of pitiable that people nowadays were worshipping a newly-born god called technology more than in any other era before. In his eyes, this “god” represents the modern progeny of "Urizen", thus knowing best about how to bring more probable slavery into this world.

After realizing his misplaced passion towards this modern god, the imprisonment of souls brought by it, and the fetters built upon the so-called selected “career path”, he decided to leave once and for all. And this was the beginning of his rebellion.

“Be a poet or nothing at all”, he murmured to himself, but the echoes made inside his soul were more formidable than the rolling stones, declaring the war against any form of oppression and depression, reclaiming the path towards liberty and love.

Thus began his journey.
