It doesn't matter whether you believe in God or not. It doesn't matter whether you are a Western or an Easterner. It doesn't matter if you are conservative or liberal. It doesn't matter whether you are a capitalist or a socialist. Philosophers and professors, scientists and surgeons, presidents and plumbers all thought about these questions. • Who? Who am I and how did I get here?
