The Study Of Philosophy
The study of philosophy
Depends on one thing after all
Which is—it starts from ABC—
One incident that I recall,
In asking a department head
If I’d be ready to start out
Philosophy? All that he said
Is—that is what it is about.
From the beginning, he would say,
Is whence a person has to start;
Whilst everything goes by the way
Of setting out once you depart.
And so the Chinese saying goes,
That journey which is very far
Begins with one step which is close
To starting out from where you are.
Starting from the beginning: ABC
