Acknowledgments

Many of us are not perfect, and I firmly place myself in this category of flawed humans. That being said, the difference between growth and stagnation is simply paying attention. Signs and helping hands and paths are often present, but we lose ourselves in the chaos that we mistake for living. Those who have dedicated their lives to preserving and sharing knowledge—not only on an academic level, but in regards to existence itself—deserve the highest praise. They are not bound by language or any one religion, but by a sense of unconditional love to the world and its flawed humans. Without these figures, we would not stop to listen, to see, to experience life as it flows around us. We would succumb to fear and violence. We would forever conflate suffering with being. Therefore, these words are owed to those who have created the conditions for their existence.
