Embrace Life, Humanity, and Diversity

Life and humanity are integral parts of being a human. Living a human life as an individual interacting with others in a dynamic and rapidly-changing world is not easy. There is often more confusion than clarity and more unknown than known. Complacency can take opportunities to learn away swiftly from one's attention, leaving one puzzling why one is left behind. There are so many areas, issues, and perspectives that one may have to deal with along one's own life trajectory. The majority of them manifest as challenges that may turn into a fortune or misfortune or simply learning experiences depending on how one could deal with them.

The conceptual integration of pinpoint moments and illustrative factual illuminations may help one imagine or visualize the processes of image formations and reality manifestations. Metaphorically, the mandalas herein are the imagery displays of a human's cognition concerning beings and life-livings of humans in the context of natural, symbolic, and social environments. The written part of this book includes many aspects of humans' lives accumulated from the writer's learning experiences and observations that may or may not completely resonate with others. It covers only a little fraction, neither comprehensive nor exhaustive, of the reality. It's merely an attempt to lighten the important linkages between (among) humans and societal developments, thereby leading to a wishful promotion of everyone's natural rights and courage to live a meaningful life with dignity, liberty, and peace. Navigation and application of humans' collective intelligence can constructively change the impossible to the possible and the hopeless to the hopeful. A chance to learn and realize the immeasurable values of life and humanity is so important that everyone should have it; humans' love, kindness, empathy, compassion, intelligence, collaborative efforts, and effective actions can make it affordable.
