About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Working until my next trip

ABOUT ME

I am an anarchist, humanist, animal lover, and I have a particular interest in cultures, religions, ethnicities, languages (everything regarding people) etc.
I am an extremely tolerant person, getting along well with everyone possessing goodwill; and above everything else, I love drinking and socializing with others.

PHILOSOPHY

The principles of Anarchism define my existence best; thus I embrace everyone with good intentions.
To be more precise, I value freedom above everything else, and this is naturally accompanied by an endless tolerance for every single individual, opinion and lifestyle as long as they don't intend to harm others.
Simply, the world and our short lives should not be shadowed by sadness and an unpleasant competition; they are for being shared and enjoyed all together.

Music, Movies, and Books

For temporarily providing some knowledge:
Braveheart was the only movie I watched at cinema more than twice (six times).
I favor heavy metal, rock, punk-rock genre, however my musical taste has a broad range, including Turkish folk music, world music and even pop.
Stephen King has been by far my favorite author. R.A.Salvatore and his drow series is also worth mentioning. I have a distaste for "academic literature" to be honest.
