First off I am just this collection of thoughts and words. I am not interested in being any type of of public personality. I do not and will not promote myself in any media social or otherwise. I may promote the content but not my personal identity. I am a private person, an introvert by nature and a misanthrope by choice. This name is a psuedonym.
I am not a hermit or a recluse. I have a spouse, children, grandchildren, friends, acquaintances, business associates and neighbors. As the saying goes “I like people; I just don’t want to hang around with them.” This is not a game. I value my privacy. Please respect that and please just read and reflect on my writings.
Early in my life I decided it was experiences I was most interested in. All types. I wanted to see it all. Good and bad. I wanted to meet and know all kind of people, good and bad. I wanted to see different places. I was always curious as to what was around the next corner and over the next hill. I wanted to know what was really true about human life and I was determined to discover that in my own way.
Of course, no one lives in a bubble. We are all required to interact with people, institutions and cultures. All of our most noble intentions get tempered, modified or destroyed by those interactions. Along the way we have moments of joy, enlightenment, satisfaction, achievement, disillusionment, disappointment and pain. If you are in the game, it is unavoidable. Life can be drudgery, painful and cruel. The ones that are open the most often get hurt the most. The human mind is capable of incredible insight and achievement but also near limitless insanity and cruelty.
Along my life’s quest I often wondered what I was doing and where it would lead. It lead me to some dubious and unsavory places. Eventually the spaces between the places knit together and revealed the reason I did it; it was to go through it to learn and to share what I learned through these writings.
I hope they give you many things to think about.
