A Big History of One’s Own

Abstract

I know only what I know. What I know is limited, usually from that limited life experience that I have had, i.e., with the near at hand as anchor. I love those who gave me life and provide me with life’s necessities, especially those with a natural inkling of attachment. I wish to see the due wish of each and every one of us humans be granted and satisfied. I like to see the world flourish on the order of its participants roaming freely as well as following rules and keeping promises. If I wish to know and experience further, to the point of knowing the whole, I have to rely on the effort and fruit of others, every one of them. And even so, what I finally fathom and get is something of my own. It’s an exploration of my own self in a larger world after all.
