' My World Was Born '...

Whatever way you put it,, I am here only because my world is here... When I took my first breath,, my world was born with me... When I die,, my world dies with me... In other words,, I wasn't born into a world, that was already here before me,, nor do I live simply as one individual among millions of other individuals,, nor do, I leave everything behind, to live on after me... People live, thinking of themselves, as members of a group or society... However,, this isn't really true... Actually,, I bring my own world into existence,, live it out,, and take it with me when I die..................... Kosho Uchiyama
