To busy understanding the world

I just realized something startling. I have been amazed by this world that I was blessed into. I have wanted to know and understand as much as possible about it.

And now, at 44, I just realized, I never spent too much time to think about my self. What am I and what are my desired in all this.

When I was young, I used to say that I needed to get to know myself before I start knowing others. But actually, it was mostly the world I was preoccupied with. Less my self.

So, now, towards an inner journey.I wonder where it will end up?
