PHILOSOPHY
To expand my knowledge of the world in any aspect, is the reason why I stick to this life. I'm a total masochist in front of knowledge: the more that I realize I'm ignorant, the merrier I become....
Though not a believer, buddhism provides me a way of viewing the world, myself, and others. In a sense it is very postmodern that makes me too relativistic. During a constant process of introspection, I try to understand everything and everyone, rather than exposing emotional judgment towards other minds or other cultures.
Politically, stand point of Green Left suits me well for now.
