About this ebook

It’s all just … a perception

Me and Arij … try to define life.

We do it … almost … as a hobby.

We became without even realizing … what some people would define as … philosophers.

But we feel more … just … ordinary persons … that simple can’t stop thinking of the meaning of life.

Our own lives … but also of life in general.

And all we write … it’s kind of a philosophical dance.

A mix of perceptions …. very well synchronized.

The perceptions of an … ordinary man … and the one of an amazing … young … feminine spirit.

And the question that might come into your mind … could probably be … what it’s the purpose of this book?!

Why did you bothered to write it?!

Well … first of all … cause we love talking about philosophy … but also give the others the impulse of realizing anyone has the right and the power to talk about the existence of the human being.

Starting the philosophical journey … talking about contradictory issues …. might be … weird … difficult … but

also … annoying.

But time will pass … and continuing walking into this path … we get used …

We start enjoying it …

And then …. we believe … we found the absolute truth.

I smile … cause i did that one million times.

On and on … and on.

Later … changing my perceptions … into a totally contradictory direction … i realized the illusion of all those thoughts and believes.

Today … all i am doing with Arij … it’s almost for fun.

It’s like we would tell you that we decided to go fishing and enjoy the day … but …. our hobby it’s not about fishing, but about … philosophy.

It’s about a path … that we believe that will reveal us the meaning … of life.

All we write about … are simple … perceptions.

… our own perceptions… from a certain period of our lives.

Nothing more …

… nothing less.

But … we continue doing it.

Nobody could judge us … cause it’s all about a hobby of ours.

And you all … have this fundamental right of analyzing and defining the world too.

No one is allowed to … judge you.

Express your self …

Dare to do it … in silence or … very load.

Even Kant’s ideas … or Rumi’s ideas … and all the other great thinkers … were just … perceptions.

So ….

Join us … on this philosophical path … and ….

Who knows?!

Maybe the real secrets will be revealed to you … quite soon.

Much sooner as you might expect ….

About the author

I’ve started to write my first book at 16 … but then … realizing i could not publish it … i’ve abandoned the idea of being a … writer.

20 years later … i’ve started to write again … believing i will finally succeed … but i’ve failed one more time … not getting the success i was chasing for.

Another 5 years later … i’ve started one more time to write … but this time … more as a therapy.

It’s what i’ve defined as … self therapy.

I was analyzing and defining lots of weird ideas … that were a lot related to me … and my own soul.

I totally forgot that i was chasing for success.

I was simple writing my thoughts … in essays … becoming this way … maybe not a writer …. but what many define as … an essayist.

This is not a poet … and not a writer.

Or maybe is kind of a poet that is incapable of writing poetry … but is still expressing his thoughts … into a similar way … as a poet.

And is not a writer … cause have not the ability to write for too long time … about the same subject.

But maybe i am not an essayist… either.

I am just an ordinary person … that could be better defined … as a thinker.

Analyzing … and defining my life … practicing this process called … self therapy … i started to understand life … and the way to better paths which i should follow.

And i’ve wrote … and wrote … and wrote … realizing one day that i’ve published tens of books …. not really understanding how the hell I’ve succeeded doing that.

Today i dare to recommend writing … as a therapy.

I could even say … it’s a simple way of understanding who we are … but also a process that could help us … heal our souls.

I personally continue to … write.

It’s in fact … a non ending story that … at least for myself … will probably continue for the rest of my life.

But over all … i am glad … i am doing it.

I continue my philosophical journey … not being able to define myself for clear as a writer or an essayist… but …

Well …. most probably… i am on a good path.

And … i would dare to recommend to everyone … all what i am doing today.
