CURRENT MISSION

To understand what is already known. To gain a better self-belief and have a better realization of the world.

ABOUT ME

whacky irish guy, the eight of nine children. after a somewhat difficult year, with a little help from my friends I found the courage to quit the job I hated and embark in this adventure, that will hopefully take me to india, taiwan and beyond.

see you there.

PHILOSOPHY

This changes with the weather, though currently, I have one about fear. It is said in life we only regret the things we don't do. In tandem with this, many peoples fears are of the unknown (the future, that you will look stupid in front of people, etc). These two ideas exist, but contradict each other. Say we have a fear of the unknown, if the unknown becomes known and part of our existence, we won't regret its arrival, otherwise it doesn't become part of our existence so we should have no fear of it. Either way have no fear.
