About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To understand the nature of truth through the simplicity of life.

ABOUT ME

Words are just not enough :)

PHILOSOPHY

Freedom is something that we can't judge well with all the earthly bounds surrounding us. There must be something beyond earthly matters to realize the real freedom, so I am into finding that.
