The purpose of this book is to inspire thought on some of the more important and profound subjects of the human experience. It is about asking questions, and seeking answers, that we as a people might grow in our understanding of ourselves, of others, and of the world around us.
Captured in the fleeting and ever more rare moments, between the hustle of economics and the chatter on cell phones, there still remains the ancient wonders of humankind. In those passing times are the questions we have fathomed since our modest beginnings of life on this earth, and the on-going quest to discover who we really are and what this thing called life is all about. We take glimpses as answers and we reach for solutions, but the complexities and the diversities and our own limitations seem to forever keep us distant from total certainty. We find ourselves as small pebbles on a vast and endless beach, yet still that primal need of understanding persists, and we look again across the sunny stretches towards the horizon, hoping to see what we haven't seen before. Our curious nature appears never to sleep, and though great minds have studied and studied, we humble people do still dare to question.
