"The ideals that have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. Without the sense of kinship with men of like mind, without the occupation with the objective world, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific endeavors, life would have seemed empty to me. The trite objects of human efforts - possessions, outward success, luxury - have always seemed to me contemptible." / "The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead and his eye are dimmed." / [Albert Einstein]
OK there are a few things you should probably know about me before you message me.
1. I'm "mostly harmless" and I don't take myself too seriously (up to a point). I put a lot of thought into what say and how I act, I am general very calm, considerate and always thoughtful, but I can have my moments :)
2. I have an anarchic, childlike sense of humour (which can get me into trouble).
3. I love myself a lot, but I can easily be humbled, by enlightened argument.
4. I am pretty damn smart, I learn very quickly and I am a deep, lateral, thinker. I know a considerable amount about life, the universe and everything, but I recognise I still so much more to learn.
5. I am extremely loyal to my friends and family. I am monogamous, but being fun loving and playful, when prompted, I tend to flirt a bit ;)
6. I'm for reason, science and enlightement, kindness, beauty and truth, freedom of self-expression, morality and co-operation.
7. I'm against dogma, hate, exploitation, self-richiousness, bullying and narrow mindedness.
8. Some of my opinions shift as I become more and more enlightened.
9. I am very empathic and I am passionate about what I believe in, I promote worthy causes, but I am nobodies fool.
10. I encourage criticism (positive and negative). I view it all as feedback, but like most of us, I prefer more of the former.
Now that you've read all that...
Please feel free to message me :) I enjoy Helping people (directly or indirectly) and I enjoy being Enlightented.
Just one more thing. If you ask me to add you, I would appreciate a message to let me know of all the millions of profiles, what brings you to my quiet corner of myspace and if possible let me know a bit about what makes you tick.
"I find it staggering what we human beings are capable of, once we "follow our bliss", stop following the herd and worrying about what other people think of us. We are all unique and I believe it is only by exploring and indulging our own uniqness that we begin to fulfil our own potential and in doing so not only become more fulfilled, but also become more interesting to other enlightened human beings." [Jonathan Cuss]
I am always open to new ideas and perspectives!
