I am here for Friends

About Me

Tracy's slideshow.. love you chick ! RIP Ian-
I don't have time for extensive profiles anymore. Simplicity is good.
I believe Philosophy is the basis of life study. And in it, along with self reflection, you will find all the answers you need. I read something on Philosophy every day. I'm addicted to Psychology and Self-Help books also. An awesome forgiveness one is 'Forgive for Good' by Luskin. Forgiveness is vital, whereas if you choose a different path every hurt has a hold on you until you choose otherwise. Life really is a journey and when it comes to me I believe that all life is, is acquired knowledge through life experiences used constructively. Simple, yet not. I believe in the pursuit of knowledge daily. You can learn, not only from your own experiences, but also by studying people and circumstance. I love English and grammar, from Essay's to Research papers to allegorical literature and symbolism even if it's hard to find. I was the kid that missed school so much over the summer I would get Encyclopedia's and write research papers to make sure I wouldn't lose the synopsis' in my brain. Haha. Critical thinking is something I'm good at along with linguist abilities. I would steal books from the library when I was in elementary school just to fill my own library. I can't get enough of literature and how much our past has to offer the future. "The Philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next." I'm slightly over analytical, which is good for Philosophy. I get engrossed in studying Philosophy way easy because there is just so much of it to learn. "Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck." I don't go out much unless it's to play poker because learning the Psychological factors of it is almost as addicting as winning at it. I have had an online blog since 2002. It's good for research, because sometimes people put the wrong emphasis on the wrong aspect, and sometimes reflection is needed to gain knowledge. I believe in the principle of sufficient reason, the belief that we live in the best of all possible worlds because of the decision that we are given free will. I study and read a lot, as I guess you can already tell. I'm big on human learning and the responsibility for one's life and freedom of choice. Everything else I'm addicted to you can find to the left under General Interests.. ..
Sometimes I think, I think too much. ;/
What do I want out of life ? The ability to surmount all obstacles on my road to success, to become an avid motivational speaker, addressing the keys to self-empowerment, beating odds, and breaking cycles, and to become a passionate philanthropist.
