About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Saving the world, one person at a time, but never by force. Finding inner peace and connecting with Love. Mastering the wooden (bō) staff.

ABOUT ME

"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort."

I'm happy and peaceful most of the time and I've built up a mentality based on love and empathy. I try to comfort and assist, where help is needed. Rejoice and smile, where there is love and happiness. Harmonize and bring balance, where equality is lost. I'm not perfect though, and especially when I'm surrounded with a lot of different stimulus I might get a bit restless.

I'll gladly discuss religion and philosphy, and am also happy to help with woes and the mundane. I'm not really that good with politics, though I try, and I'm also really interested to hear about science. Also, if quiet is needed, just ask, and I can be silent. I am open to hearing things straight that need to be said. I am very outgoing and I love to dance (especially to Drum n' Bass).

My hobbies are bicycling, reading books, acting, bouldering, and martial arts, and I'm really good with computers. I also do a lot of meditating.

PHILOSOPHY & RELIGION

I'd say I'm a person that is more of philosophy and faith than religion. I love visiting different ceremonies, not discriminating between religions. I'm currently a bit in love with the red Buddha Amitābha, so someone might call me a Buddhist, but I wouldn' t box myself in that way. Though Buddhism is definitely something I can relate to, and would say it's a part of my path. Simply put, my faith surrounds the idea that the whole of reality is God and we are all but a minute - though still meaningful - part of it. If religious topics are hard for you, I'm readily able to not discuss them.
