CURRENT MISSION

Learning “The way things are”

ABOUT ME

I love talking about everything from alchemy to zen and so on. I am a social type with introvert episodes. More creative and imaginative than logic. I still have a childish, enthusiastic spirit, meaning that I adore toys and thingies which only destination is to look nice and bring fun (addicted to collecting knick-knacks) I can get overly excited just by passing a shop with plushy stuff. I try to live beyond every extremes, appreciate simple pleasures (something more or less like epicureic lifestyle, let's say).
I like waking up every day in another place, with another state of mind and doing simple things. (I don't mind washing dishes and ironing.) Now it comes a cliche part: leaving the autocreation mode, I still think that I am open minded, easygoing and tolerant, even for snoring people and mosquitos ;p

I think I am changing everyday because of people I met. I am really addicted to reading. I always have a pile of books in my table, which I must read, but I still don't have enough time, and this pile are growing and growing like Babel Tower. I believe that people are good and generally have good intention, so I never expect anything rough or mean - sometimes it can look like I am a bit naive.

I was studying RELIGIOUS STUDIES, (also known as a history of religion/ Religionswissenschaft / comparative religion) it is not NOT theology ;)

"The limits of my language mean the limits of my world" L. Wittgenstein.

That's true. Unfortunately, I think the only language in which I can truly express my feelings and thoughts it is my native language (and it always makes me confused) but I do not give up and try to increase my linguistic abilities.

I would wrote an essay about mu character, mind, habits, but who cares? No one reads this kind of stuff ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing special. Be aware in every moment in life, not lose any event and experience. Every minute is meaningful.

some quotations?

"€œThe only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!' "

Jack Kerouac

"I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value."

Herman Hesse

To see a world in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

William Blake
