Changes

The age of [[discovery]] has hardly begun. So far [[individual]]s have spent more time trying to understand themselves than discovering others. But now curiosity is expanding as never before...To know someone in every country in the world, and someone in every walk of life, may soon be the minimum demand of people who want to [[experience]] fully what is means to be alive. The [[celestial|gossamer]] world of intimate relations is in varying degrees separate from the [[terrestrial|territorial]] world in which people are identified by where they live and work, by whom they have to obey, by their passports and bank balances... but the art of encounter is in its infancy.
