Well hello there! I have read a lot
of various blogs, and in most cases autobiographical notes were fun and particularly
interesting. Well... my life is not so exciting. Here I am: beginning
historian, amateur theologian, "café philosopher" and homo dubitat (supposedly
that’s how “doubting man" looks like in Latin). In addition, faithful
friend and psychologist-novice (from time to time, at the request of friends, I
attempt to repair their relationships)
History
is one of those topics I know, and like to write. I know some fun facts, and I
think from time to time it’s worth to learn something new. Sometimes that “something
new” will be the battle of Westerplatte (1939), sometimes the reasons for the
German defeat in 1914 (I actually wrote about that once), sometimes something
about the Cuban crisis. History is a subject in which everyone can find
something for himself. Philosophy is similar. I never liked to learn about the
lives of philosophers, but there are all sorts of philosophical theses that are
extremely interesting. For example, there’s Gorgias, who said that Nothingness
cannot exist, because it would destroy itself ("Nothingness makes itself
as nothing"). There are also Erich Fromm with an amazing "Escape from
Freedom," Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung with his "collective
unconsciousness." And yet there are many more (Fromm, Freud and Jung are
from Germany, and Germany, as you all know, is not the only country on this
planet)! In addition, when it comes to amateur theologian I started this joyful
adventure long ago as a Catholic, and to explain everyone around (and myself)
why I want to go to the Augsburg Evangelical Lutheran Church, I had to know at
least the basics of theology and learn how to win at least basic discussions
about faith…
Apart
from this, what else can I say about myself? Young, handsome, intelligent,
wise, modest (how else?), and far beyond your range (unless you live in CA, USA). From time to time I give a little more info about myself
Here.
Oh!
There’s one more thing. I still have to explain this skeptic, homo dubitat,
because probably someone got the idea "either you're a believer, or you're
a skeptic!" Right. I usually have a problem with that, because trust me, I
DO LOVE science. I love to learn why we need to breathe, why we need sugar, why
my legs burn after a long run and so on. However, the truth is that while I
believe in one God, our Lord Jesus Christ with all my heart, I also doubt
everything else if there is no evidence of its truthfulness (in terms of my
faith, it did not come from nowhere, but it’s terribly hard to explain it. At
the beginning of this journey there was a really complicated series of
completely unrelated accidents that got me thinking about all this...).
If you have any questions, ask. My door (or more precisely
my e-mail and comments, here below) are always open for you :)
