A wretched soul, bruised with adversity,We bid be quiet when we hear it cry; But were we burdened with like weight of pain,As much or more we should ourselves complain.
William Shakespeare
i survived another wednesday, which is another miracle seen from the moon. today i was walking in the sun, suddernly the sun was gone, all darkness. i was searching for the source of light until i began to enjoy the darkness itself. many dots glimer here and there, i passed through it lightly, but where is the people gone? i could not believe i am the only creature on this planet. the dot was spiraling forward to the end of the earth. chasing after it with my nudeness, my heart was beating so fast , i was worrying about the black box would be opened. it opened up , a beam of light shoot out from the box, brilliant splitting my brain into two pieces. cloven. melting and clattering, a shadow was out of the circle. the shadow is everywhere, riding on a butterfly. resting on the rose when tired. the other missing piece?
understaning today's world is important if we are to deal with our growing number of challenges.
and yet the understanding without history study, is incomplete. from today i will put some basic information about western civilization in my blog.
