Added 2023-05-20 03:00:58 +0000 UTCToday was a day of revelations. I saw things in Taiwan that made me rethink my life and my place in the world. I realized how privileged I am, and how much I don’t know. I started my day in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. I rode my scooter to the National Palace Museum, where I wanted to see about the history and philosophy of China, and how it influenced Taiwan. But I also learned about the dark side of history. I learned about the wars and conflicts that plagued China and Taiwan, and how many people suffered and died. I felt a mix of awe and sadness. I realized how lucky I am to live in a peaceful and democratic country. I realized how ignorant I am of the struggles and sacrifices of other people, and how much I take for granted. From my moped adventures I saw skyscrapers and slums, malls and markets, highways and alleys. I saw people in suits and people in rags, people in cars and people on bikes, people with phones and people with baskets. I felt a mix of wonder and guilt. I realized how privileged I am to have a comfortable and convenient life, where I can afford to travel and have fun without worry or hardship. I realized how unaware I am of the inequality and poverty of other people, and how much I waste. But I also realized something else. I realized that this adventure was not just about seeing new places, meeting new people, and having fun. It was also about seeing myself, meeting myself, and finding myself. I realized that this adventure was not just about hunting for geocaches. It was also about hunting for answers. I realized that this adventure was not just about changing my perspective and aspect of privilege. It was also about changing my attitude and action. I realized that this adventure was not just about questioning the universe in a profound way. It was also about questioning myself in a profound way.
