My Life
MY LIFE is written with the express desire of telling the world of my confined condition, my struggles, and my contentious nature brought about by a world antipathetic and antithetical to my (almost) every desire: a 'social' world, that is, that is more man-made than anything we can find in history. In this life of myself I try to show myself, "warts 'n all", to use the words of Cromwell, for I wish to make it clear that true thought and even grandeur can arise from the most unexpected places and from the most varied backgrounds.

Full Description
MY LIFE is written with the express desire of telling the world of my confined condition, my struggles, and my contentious nature brought about by a world antipathetic and antithetical to my (almost) every desire: a 'social' world, that is, that is more man-made than anything we can find in history. In this life of myself I try to show myself, "warts 'n all", to use the words of Cromwell, for I wish to make it clear that true thought and even grandeur can arise from the most unexpected places and from the most varied backgrounds. I hope to finish another volume of this somewhat tormented life sometime in the near future. I feel I must explain the nuts and bolts of my thinking power and its premise. And by showing my background and its peculiarities I try the almost impossible, that is, to rectify a pride in myself untarnished by politics and religion. These last have seeped into our very natures so much that we are unaware of them. Yet they strike like hammer-blows at our every step which tests the social ground that is everywhere taken for granted. My loves and longings I depict as best I can for they seemed to decide my fate.
