DAY 236
The Travels of Marco Polo
Il Milione
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
How does curiosity toward the unknown expand our worldview?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I first opened this book and met the marvelous landscapes of the unfamiliar East, the shock and delight that medieval Europeans must have felt came through to me whole. Polo's journey, quietly recording the vastness of the world he had seen amid countless doubts, shattered in an instant the narrow perception of people then trapped like frogs in a well. It is a record of adventure that vividly proves how curiosity surpassing fear widens the geographic and spiritual map of humankind.
