More About Me

I'm passionate about

Medicine, History, Chinese and Western Philosophy.

An idea worth spreading

“Man, a self-conscious being, senses his limits. They are inherent. Equally inherent is his desire to overcome them. Man is a finite being with infinite aspirations, a pigmy who thinks himself a giant. Out of his self-interest he develops economic and political theories and attempts to pass them off as universal systems; he is born and reared in insecurity and seeks to make himself absolutely secure; he is a man but thinks himself a god. The seat of evil is the self, and the quality of evil can be defined in terms of pride.”
-- Reinhold Niebuhr, The Nature and Destiny of Man

People don't know that I'm good at
