About Me

I will not let anything interrupt me in my quest for truth -neither fear nor indifference, poverty nor cynicism. In the realm of thought, I practice warrior discipline. Better to die tomorrow, or this instant, with meaning, than live a dozen lifetimes without. It is not death i fear, but an empty life, in an empty world full of blindness and apathy... better to die with a sword in my hand.
