This is a We’ve never had more freedom or more ways to define ourselves—and yet, we’ve never seemed more lost, divided, and uncertain of who we are.
The Questions We Can’t Escape
Would you agree that we live in a time of unparalleled freedom and tyranny?
We can define ourselves, choose our path, and express who we are in more ways than ever before, and at the same accept the way things are, and so be tyrannized.
And yet, all carry a quiet ache beneath all the options:
A sense of disconnection. A loss of meaning. A fragmentation of who we are—individually and collectively.
We dreamt, we hoped, and nothing changed.
I will endeavour to write a short essay series, not as a manifesto, nor a prescription, an invitation to reflection.
An attempt to look honestly at the human story—where we’ve come from, where we are now, and what choices lie before us.
Behind every culture, every system, every person—are a few unavoidable questions:
- Why are we here? (What is real?)
- Who are we? (What/Who is the source of our identity?)
- What are we for? (Do we have a purpose?)
- And how shall we live? (What kind of life nourishes human dignity and belonging?)
For centuries, these questions were shaped by inherited stories—creation, faith, tradition.
In more recent times, they’ve been redefined through science, reason, and the will of the self.
Both have left marks—some profound, some painful.
But today, many feel stuck by one or the other, some caught between the two, and I would assize most adrift from both.
I aim not to argue for a return to the past, nor to dismiss the modern journey.
Rather, I hope to explore what it would mean to re-inherit and reconstruct what it means to be human—across continents, languages, and current worldviews.
We may not all agree on the answers.
But we must ask the questions—together.
If this resounds with you, and a journey of questions you want to participate in, stay tuned, subscribe, or share and invite.
Let’s ask, journey, discover, dream, hope again, and be the change.
