Ramblings about roots and identity

  Earlier this evening, I finished Terry Pratchett’s I Shall Wear Midnight. In his Author’s Note at the end, he had something interesting – well, everything was interesting, but this really set me thinking - to say.

   It is important that you know where you come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you don’t know where you are, and if you don’t know where you are, then you don’t know where you’re going. And if you don’t know where you’re going, then you’re probably going wrong.
