About Me

CURRENT MISSION

finishing my master

ABOUT ME

I like to calm down, slow down and cheer up. I like to joke, ponder in long moments of silence over life, I love to dance, sing and play. Shallow talking makes me bored, but I like discussions that concern life. I am concerned about the disasters humanity faces, but so far I haven't done much against it. I love good food and drinks. Travelling means to learn seeing things. My greatest goal in life is to love truely. And to create something beautiful.

PHILOSOPHY

We are nothing without others. Our identity is based on a setting of people, a culture and other influences that define us. This process is a constant battle and it needs a deep wisdom to overcome its violence. love would be on the opposite end of it.

«Verschweigt die Natur ihm nicht das Allermeiste, selbst über seinen Körper, um ihn, abseits von den Windungen der Gedärme, dem raschen Fluss der Blutströme, den verwickelten Fasererzitterungen, in ein stolzes gauklerisches Bewusstsein zu bannen und einzuschliessen! Sie warf den Schlüssel weg: und wehe der verhängnissvollen Neubegier, die durch eine Spalte einmal aus dem Bewusstseinszimmer heraus und hinab zu sehen vermöchte und die jetzt ahnte, dass auf dem Erbarmungslosen, dem Gierigen, dem Unersättlichen, dem Mörderischen der Mensch ruht, in der Gleichgültigkeit seines Nichtwissens, und gleichsam auf dem Rücken eines Tigers in Träumen hängend. Woher, in aller Welt, bei dieser Constellation der Trieb zur Wahrheit!» Friedrich Nietzsche
