There is a very real, very deep difference between us human beings.
Differences stemming from chronic imbalances in material well-being and the simple and harsh reality that it sits on top of a skewed pyramid.
The "haves" get the lion's share, the "have nots" get yesterday's coffee grounds...
The idea arises to search for answers to age-old questions.
What is the world made of? do you have the answer No, it's not. Certainly not an answer that satisfies the academic requirements. Academic requirements here means not presenting solutions or information from extensive research as if he had read ten books on the subject.
In my 71 years of keeping my eye on the ball, living in several countries, working in a variety of business situations, never stopping reading and always listening to the ground, I have a good understanding of the world given to me. . .
I think that many, perhaps most of us, have the concept of life on this planet in mind. you know exactly what i mean. Who are we and what are we doing here? what's the purpose where do we come from where are we going Clearly, there is a line between these life concepts that are held as hopes and actual life concepts.

I realized that sometimes I break things down neatly. A part of reality can be a relief worthy of an almost glowing explanation. If I were to stick to geography, especially this part of the world, Guatemala, I would have to brush aside my most optimistic and happiest form of explanation.
If I were to write about the plight of those around me, I fear my words would paint a very depressing picture. Unless, of course, I can write about the part of human history that shows how much financially secure family groups enjoy themselves.
No big financial hardships! zero. Disney World is normal. If not, just knowing it's possible adds to the joy. of course! I should have made my position clear. People's daily lives do not, at all, contain the struggle for control of the majority. Think about it. It will be meandering but coherent.
