Illuminate: About me

"They will not come for the money... No, the best of them will come for ME!"

-- Lawrence of Arabia
Hahahah! well, I had to put something here, right? Philosophies? Motives? Raves? Pukes?

If I would encounter a page filled with ego trips of some nobody from God-knows-where, I would not give it a second glance. but this is not the case here. these are not ego trips but observations and conclusions i made in the past that shape me in what I AM today. They provide a look into a world of confusion, monotony and excellence.

Simply: What i've placed here are a collection of articles that would best define me.

They survive:

Just watched "The Beach." For once, a movie about paradise that does not center on a "love" relationship. As always my analytical mind delved in the possibility of actually doing that. My mind does this breaking down details and "how it can be done" and the "what needs to be done" stuff almost automatic.

So.

I need to acquire a great deal of cash, something in the neighborhood of millions and a few more to spare. And I should be able to do it in three or two years. So that I will no longer be tied down to responsibilities to myself and a future family.

To be able to leave this place, a place that I have not left for more than two weeks. I should deserve a break. A break from the monotony of life. "The way things are" is bearing down on me. I crave for an adventure. They say things come to those who seek it. To be able to travel the world and know more. I am now not tied to restraints that force me to choose yet follow. Follow to those that came before me. To study and finish. Then to get a job and start a career. To provide for another. And then when we are all maybe not so old, to stop doing what we have been doing all our lives and stay at home and pursue things that we have left off when we were young. When it really mattered. Who are we fooling. Maybe that's just it. No one have asked that question seriously. Fear may come into play. So then, what should I do?
…
I should do something other than waste time away on something that has no lasting value even for me. Spent it on my retiring years? But still I have to eat. Eat and sleep. And the means to do that lies in "money." I need to acquire some. Not "some," a lot. And then I may be allowed to live. Because normal men to day… all that they do is survive. They do what they do to be able to eat and have a roof to protect them from their elements. But they only live when they are old. Too old to start a life.

Man had made a myriad of pleasures to while away man's time in bliss. Seldom people know true happiness. They only know parts of it. Not the whole.

A life is this: No restraints on what you want to do. No one holding you back. No people telling you what you should act, feel, think or say. But a total freedom… As much as this world allows.
…
What about "love?" (you might ask.)
…
It will come when it comes. To pursue it negates it. It only makes it what the world says it is. Do not look for it. Do not crave for it. But when it arrives, grab hold of it and never let go. Because it only comes but once. And that love that waits for you will make your life… paradise.
