The Tiny Truth That Governs Everything

To consider yourself a person who knows the world, you must first know the tiny truth of this little treatise, the tiny truth that governs it all. Though the words in this treatise may modify your view of yourself and the world, they do not constitute a philosophy per se (though some might say it opens the door to one); nor do they in any way constitute a religion or a belief system, a prediction or a prophecy; they are, basically, a simple, objective statement of fact that you will acknowledge, or deny, according to how the you that you are came to be.
