Before we can understand why we are here,
we first have to understand the conditions that have shaped how we understand ourselves.
From the moment we arrive, we enter a world already filled with stories, beliefs, expectations, and ways of understanding life. Long before we begin asking our own questions, we learn to see ourselves through the explanations that surround us.
For some people, those explanations are enough.
For others, the questions remain.
They continue searching beneath what they have been told, looking for what is true, what can be known, and what remains regardless of the story.
