PERCEPTIONS: … philosophical essays about the illusion of the self
It’s all just … a perception
Me and Arij … try to define life.
We do it … almost … as a hobby.
We became without even realizing … what some people would define as … philosophers.
But we feel more … just … ordinary persons … that simple can’t stop thinking of the meaning of life.
Our own lives … but also of life in general.
And all we write … it’s kind of a philosophical dance.
A mix of perceptions …. very well synchronized.
The perceptions of an … ordinary man … and the one of an amazing … young … feminine spirit.
And the question that might come into your mind … could probably be … what it’s the purpose of this book?!
Why did you bothered to write it?!
Well … first of all … cause we love talking about philosophy … but also give the others the impulse of realizing anyone has the right and the power to talk about the existence of the human being.
Starting the philosophical journey … talking about contradictory issues …. might be … weird … difficult … but
also … annoying.
But time will pass … and continuing walking into this path … we get used …
We start enjoying it …
And then …. we believe … we found the absolute truth.
I smile … cause i did that one million times.
On and on … and on.
Later … changing my perceptions … into a totally contradictory direction … i realized the illusion of all those thoughts and believes.
Today … all i am doing with Arij … it’s almost for fun.
It’s like we would tell you that we decided to go fishing and enjoy the day … but …. our hobby it’s not about fishing, but about … philosophy.
It’s about a path … that we believe that will reveal us the meaning … of life.
All we write about … are simple … perceptions.
… our own perceptions… from a certain period of our lives.
Nothing more …
… nothing less.
But … we continue doing it.
Nobody could judge us … cause it’s all about a hobby of ours.
And you all … have this fundamental right of analyzing and defining the world too.
No one is allowed to … judge you.
Express your self …
Dare to do it … in silence or … very load.
Even Kant’s ideas … or Rumi’s ideas … and all the other great thinkers … were just … perceptions.
So ….
Join us … on this philosophical path … and ….
Who knows?!
Maybe the real secrets will be revealed to you … quite soon.
Much sooner as you might expect ….
