Statement
Self-Burning
Most of my thinking is basically on human being’s destinations? (internal and external) and at the other side I am strongly seek and think on the permanent manner of human being (right time-eating ?, right time- sleeping?, right time- doing, right time- speaking, right time- awaking and etc..).Thus, in some time, I willing to made burning myself as internally and externally. Try to keep my soul away from ” Robotic-machine societies”.
