About Me: | Well what is there to know about me? Mmmmm.... constantly thinking and rethinking about personal and social issues that surround and affect me. I struggle with what it means to be me because I was raised in the midst of three different cultures. I'm ethnically European, my family was islamic, and I was born and raised in the United States..... I don't like talking about myself much but I have a colorful past and an interest in many subjects that somehow maintain my relationships and friendships.... Always will be an enigma I suppose. |
Activities: | Reading, watching documentaries, playing soccer, spending times with friends and lovers, debating and most importantly philosophizing |
Beliefs: | I posit Naturalism. All Human experience can be explained psychoanalytically. I'm a moral relativist that supports cultures that help individualism and self making to flourish. It is man's duty for existence to overcome nihilism. Heavily influenced by existentialism and constructionism. Politically I support whatever policies that help allow individuals to live their lives and "pursuit happiness" whether it be supporting policies that help citizens meet a minimal means to live their lives for a chance at opportunities or advocating supposable "negative rights" (hence why I am a liberal). |

Quotes: | "You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame; How could you rise anew if you have not first become ashes" ~Friedrich Nietzsche "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" "Love and work are the cornerstones of our Humaness" ~Sigmund Freud "Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour.
