ABOUT ME

I've been working as Financial Auditor of the State of Pernambuco since 1994.

I graduated in Sociology and Law and I have to say that the former is still my passion. I post-graduated in Sociology and Philosophy. In 2013 I finished a master degree in Philosophy.

I'm (trying to be) a 'vipassana' meditator as taught by S.N. Goenka.

I've been traveling a lot in the last years. If you wish, have a look on my pictures on the website: www.bugbitten.com/adelinomp.

PHILOSOPHY

€"The fact remains that getting people right is not what living is all about anyway. It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again. That's how we know we're alive: we're wrong." €Philip Roth, American Pastoral
