An Immovable Boulder

Travel in search of human variety leads to the conclusion that humanity stays constant across time and space while only the internal self can change.

A discussion on differentiation and variety amongst the human species across time and space…

In iran and korea

When you want to get married

And not be dishonorable

You must go and ask the girls father

Usually they ask the same question

Whats your job? How much you got?

Family life and things like that obviously follow to see your upbringing.

Maybe theyll ask how nice you are or whatever

But its interesting “how many love particles are in your heart” is not the first question.

Its fascinating the way they choose the ordering of the questions in different societies.

Backwards societies like those especially.

But then you start to think about it.

When girls go home and chat with their friends (in western societies friends take the place of fathers), they usually say: “so what does he do?”

When i first started traveling i was looking for the perfect place.

What that inherently means is i was searching for differentiation.

Variety.

Something there not here.

Something here not there.

As i traveled and traveled and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I realized a simple fact.

When it comes to humanity.

Across time and place nothing changes.

When it comes to humanity, the external is constant.

The only thing that changes is the internal if we allow it. We can only shift our own internal being.

The world outside of us is stuck like stone.

An immovable boulder.

Across time and space Humanity stays the same.
