The text leans towards a literary movement known as “ultra-romanticism”. The exploration of the idealized and idolized and how they become both the object and the objectified. It questions self-destruction, the consequences of solitude taken to extremes and thus lending an ear to narcissism and the conceit of moral vanities. I prefer to invite the reader to draw his or her own interpretations. There are no wrong answers. No beginning, middle or end but a continuous movement in an attempt, to mimic the natural course of nature. Sometimes we fall prey to the illusion that the the answer lies in the past; upon returning finding our way back becomes stifled by the voice of reason.

The story is about me and my journey through life. It always seemed to me somewhat self-indulgent and egotistical for somebody to spend time writing about their life and then expect other people to read it. I am not a writer, something I think all my English teachers at school would have concurred with-I was a mathematician-but I felt obliged to write my life story after my inner world conspired to write a response to the problem of Being. My Philosophy of Being is original; it flowed from my life journey over ten years like a stream from its source. I knew that if I were to reference my primary source, I would have to write it first. Reluctantly, I set about writing my life story, but as I wrote it, I realised there were other reasons why I needed to complete it, which should become clear as you read it.
