false 1064671 I’m graduated in Modern, Contemporanean History and in Political Science. National interest, and balance of power are my preferred issues. I speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, and I can understand a bit of Dutch, French and Italian,living in Europe brought me the opportunity to learn easily many languages and being open-minded. Behind every language, nation, or cultural pattern,there’s an universal natural human behavior. The British philosopher Isaiah Berlin used to say that we are living a time where the concept of human, and natural behavior will be more relevant than the limited and stereotyped concept of state-nation. We are living an amazing epoch of cultural understanding never ever lived before. The triumph of democracy, and Science are part of this success.
Books are the expression of our human culture. It reveals our fears, failures, drama, dreams, success, and overall hope to our endless human complexity. Books are eternal questions to everyone.
Books are made to enhance our mutual understanding and to achieve the impossible. I enjoy traveling, and I’ve visited many countries throughout my life. I’ve noticed about cultural differences, but I’ve learned to live, learning of our differences. The brain human, our cultural patterns can change for better. I’m always optimist about the limitless human possibilities. Finally I'll conclude this profile with the words of this great philosopher and german writer Arthur Schopenhauer about life and human nature:
"It would be better if there were nothing. Since there is more pain than pleasure on earth, every satisfaction is only transitory, creating new desires and new distresses, and the agony of the devoured animal is always far greater than the pleasure of the devourer" (The World as will and Representation)]]> male Aurora, CO 04/2008 12/2009 ]]> 107 119 105 true 5665782 read 1 true 2197936 currently-reading 13 true 2197935 to-read 28 false 3127737 philosophy 15 false 3127765 literature 15 false 3128009 european-history 12 false 3128013 european-literature 12 false 3127726 history 9 false 3127754 political-science 5 false 3127760 science 4 false 3127875 biography 4 false 3127864 business 3 false 3128060 leadership 3 false 3127848 religion 3 false 3128037 mythology-and-folklore 3 false 3127846 antropology 2 false 3127876 self-improvement 2 false 3127851 economy 2 false 3127856 environmentalism 2 false 3128004 u-s-history 2 false 3127757 travel 1 false 3127913 music 1 false 3128020 poetry 1 false 3128018 neuro-linguistic-programming--nlp- 1 false 3128012 u-s-literature 1 false 3128014 movies 1 false 4237464 german-literature 1 false 3128362 theory-of-history 0 false 3128044 fantasy 0 false 3128015 art 0 false 3127867 psychology http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/53566.Power_without_Freedom_is_tyranny?chapter=1 http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1248202433p2/1064671.jpg 1064671 Miguel http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1248202433p2/1064671.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1064671-miguel Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:08:53 -0800 ...more]]> Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation (Paperback) by Joseph J.
