Freedom from fear and injustice and oppression will be ours only in the measure/That men who value such freedom are ready to /sustain its possession – to defend it against/ Every thrust from within or without —Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969)
MAN”, notwithstanding philosophical, archeological, anthropological, historical and scientific research through radioactive isotopes, etc., remains a mystery – a complex conundrum and a prodigious myth waiting to be unraveled.
His chameleonic mien, conduct, disposition, traits, characteristics and idiosyncrasies monumentally attest to these assertions. The 18th century philosopher and poet, John Arbunot, was bewildered by the Homosapien that he asked in his poem, ‘Know Yourself’: What am I? How produced? And for What end? Whence drew I being? To what period tend? Am I the abandoned orphan of blind chance, dropped by wild atoms in disordered dance? Or from an endless chain of causes wrought? And of unthinking substance born with thought? The enigmatic labyrinth called ‘man’ gets more complex every day.
