About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just continue living life in all its glory and shades of blue and gray. There is no "must" in life. We are all gonna die, with our missions and goals. ;)

ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

Existentialism. Nihilism. Absurdism. Zen mindfulness. Stoicism.

"In the end one experiences only oneself." (Nietzsche)

"Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend,
Before we too into the Dust descend;
Dust into Dust, and under Dust to lie
Sans Wine, sans Song, sans Singer, and--sans End!

Alike for those who for To-day prepare,
And those that after some To-morrow stare,
A Muezzin from the Tower of Darkness cries
"Fools! your reward is neither here nor there."

"Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life." (Omar Khayyam)

"If religion is only for heaven, patriotism for self-interest and knowledge for wealth, then I would like to be an infidel, traitor and ignorant. (Khalil Gibran)

"A thousand times I have ascertained and
found it to be true:
The affairs of this world are really nothing
into nothing.
Still though, we should dance." (Hafiz)
