Onismoh-niz-uhm
n. The awareness of how little of the world you'll experience. It's encoded in various sounds, sights, smells, tastes, and experiences, highlighting the limitations of human existence.
Etymology
In philosophy, monism is the belief that a wide variety of things can be explained in terms of a single reality, substance, or source. Onism is a kind of monism—your life is indeed limited to a single reality by virtue of being restricted to a single body—but something is clearly missing.
