Introduction

I believe God created the Cosmos, including this Earth, and created mankind in his image. Therefore, I believe this is a good World, though it has its problems, and that other persons are noble and worthy, though they have their problems. I want to appreciate other people, what they do, say, and create, even if I might disagree with their view or with what they do.


In this blog, I will explore various aspects of our culture from this perspective and comment on it as I journey. At the moment, I am trying to read through all of Shakespeare's plays, as I come to appreciate the genius behind his work, and the profound way he changed literature as well as our culture. I finished Othello recently and plan to start on Richard III soon.


At the same time, I am studying about oil through a book, The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money and Power, written by Daniel Yergin in 1992, who won the Pulitzer Prize for his work. It began after a recent discussion about oil, OPEC, and nationalization. I wanted to look more into it, and found this the best book for reviewing the history about oil which is now at the center of the news almost everyday.

I hope you will join me for this journey and I look forward to your comments. If there is something you would like me to study and comment on, let me know.
