Why This Blog?​

As a child, I was raised with the teaching that “the World is but one country and mankind its citizens”.
This has given me a deep appreciation for seeing things globally and collectively — the big picture view - hence, I called my blog: The Big Picture.

​In this blog, I intend to raise serious questions about our collective life and destiny on this planet to create a forum for discussion about things that matter most.
