I'm an introvert. I enjoy reading and outdoor activities.
Requests
I welcome contact from anyone, and would like to make friends all over the world.
Many scammers (or a few very industrious ones) use this site. One has to be discerning if they value their time. If I don't reply to you or break off contact, don't take it personally. I've likely taken you for a scammer. There are certain hallmarks...
Hobbies & Interests
In my spare time I like to read, mostly non-fiction. My interests are many and varied, and my focus often shifts. Lately, I've been focused on learning Arabic.
Ye are the fruits of one tree and the leaves of one branch.
~Baha'u'llah
Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world.
For, indeed, that's all who ever have.
~Margaret Mead
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.
~ Carl Jung
And the abolition of capitalism and the wage system would remove the chief incentive to fear and greed, those correlative passions by which all free life is choked and gagged.
~Bertrand Russell
There's a race of men that don't fit in, a race that can't stay still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin, and they roam the world at will.
They range the field and they rove the flood, and they climb the mountain's crest;
Theirs is the curse of the gypsy blood, and they don't know how to rest.
~Robert Service
Our theory is simply this: a person counts as an asshole when, and only when, he systematically allows himself to enjoy special advantages in interpersonal relations out of an entrenched sense of entitlement that immunizes him against the complaints of other people.
~Aaron James
