Abstract:
This book is the result of seventeen years of personal and
intellectual journey during which I was immersed myself
in travelling to various places and meeting with lots of
people. During this journey, I tried to capture the inescapability
of cultural junction in the life of the ever-changing society through
interpreting the deed of humanity and human development. I tried
to reveal the unanticipated perceptions of the people that I met and
conversed with. These people are simply amazing!
These people have worked tirelessly for the betterment of
society, they deserve acknowledgement. Their aspiration might
not have been fully realized, but as people read what they have
been struggling, it is hoped that their effort would inspire other
people who will continue their work and eventually realize their
dream in promoting people’s well-being and building more decent
civilization.
I also explored places that I visited and tried to uncover things
that might have not have been previously discussed thoroughly.
People and places are inseparable, and there are always thought provoking stories between the two. People’s mobility might have
been the answer of how values are so universal, of how we can
find cultural similarity in different places with seemingly different
people, because values are traveling, too!
