Ryan, your youth is beautiful because it likes prosperous Spring willows, gurgling Spring, surging waves and galloping wheels. I wish you are young forever. This is a book of fact, not fiction. The episodes described in its pages actually happened. My narration, which includes some reconstructed dialogue, is based on hundreds of interviews, transcripts, audio, and video archives and first hand observation. The characters, bigger and lesser, are real. And although their stories may occasionally have a through-the-looking glass quality, know that they are not the product of journalistic imagination, but an accurate chronicle of life and times in a most curious World. Both fortune and misfortune have their respective places unforgettable. Whatever befalls us, we should not be overjoyed nor downcast.   #RyanPhillippe1 of 8

This is the very perfection of man, to find out his own imperfections. Typically, people thing of love as romantic love, as in Honey and Sweetheart. However, romantic love is only a minor part of a human lifetime. There are many types of love other than personal, romantic love, and they infuse our everyday experience: love of family or friends, love of country, love of attributes, love as virtue, love as acceptance, love as motivator, love as appreciation, love as kindness, love as essence of relationship, love as group energy (like a date night), love as admiration, love as respect, love as fraternal bonds of unity, love as loyalty, love as affection, love as cherishing, love as self-sacrificing love, love as devotion.

When we talk nowadays of the social aspects of modern life, and especially of its sexual aspects, we are sure to refer to what is call the disappearance of taboos. We proceed to enumerate a number of things which is our society were formerly forbidden (and presumably not done) and now are not forbidden, together with a corresponding list of things which were formerly prescribed (and presumably carried out) but now are regarded as unnecessary, indifferent, or even undesirable, to use no stronger terms.  Love is a beautiful nightmare, as the popular song goes. On the level of love, the radiance is no longer hidden from us. Love facilitates healing. It transforms life. Once you become loving, there are certain things you can never do again. And there are certain things you can do in the energy field of love that are impossible otherwise.  #RyanPhillippe 3 of 8

People who love you do things for you they would not do for others. Love makes possible the miraculous without labeling it miraculous. Love has a transfiguring effect. Before I depart you, I still do not know what is loneliness and what the happiness of love. As this moment, I feel the loneliness of love and know I lose much for the first time. I am grateful for every act of kindness from you, your affection, love, and thoughtfulness. Every movement we make, is energized by the lovingness that we have owned within ourselves. The energy of love is felt pouring out of you. True love will not change because of separation because you will stretch out your hands and accept my best wishes. May the flower of happiness be fragrant in your future days. #RyanPhillippe 4 of 8

May bright sunshine, youth vigour, beautiful appearance and comfortable smile belong to your forever! In a state of love, I wake up every morning and give thanks for another day of life, and I seek to make life better for everyone around me. Because of the presence of love, things go better. You dip in passionate love and write me warm poems, at last you make sweet honey with your heart. Love is a great happiness to human. Love means that a man not only demands happiness from life, but also present happiness to the beloved. The sweet dew of your heart always moistens me and makes me feel the beauty of life and the hope for the future.  #RyanPhillippe 5 of 8

Sweet love between us is like a song of happiness. Beautiful love is a taciturn agreement between two hearts. A glance between a pair in love tells far more heartfelt compliments, health, what pleasure is to longevity. If there is one quality that distinguishes me, is that my psychic energy seems inexhaustible. Even though I have no greater attentional capacity than anyone else, I pay more attention to what happens around me, I notice more, and I am willing to invest more attention in things for my own sake without expecting an immediate return. I hoard my attention carefully. I dole it out only for serious things that will give me some material or emotional advantage. The result is that I do not have much attention left over to participate in the World on its own terms, to be surprised, to learn new things, to empathize, to grow beyond the limits set by my self-centeredness. #RyanPhillippe 6 of 8

Many other people are less concern with themselves, and therefore have more free psychic energy to experience life with. I usually report high challenges and high skills on my brain scans, differs from my classmates in that I am thinking most of the time of my father, shopping at the mall, or thinking about how to earn good ratings. I am also fascinated by mythology and am called a Gothic Scholar. I work in a museum three afternoons a week, helping to store and classify artifacts and rare antiquities. I enjoy the most routine aspects of my work, like putting everything in the archives and things like that, as well as being alert to what is going on around me and learning from it. At the same time, I enjoy my dad, with whom I have long debates about religion and life after school. Believe me what I say soon you will see a sea of wealth coming your way.

My interest are still expressions of my unique individuality, but I seem to truly care for what I do at least in part of its own sake. I have had numerous close encounters—of the spooky kind—and seen enough apparitions in the two room, 100-year-old house to know the place is haunted. When afternoon, I was alone in the kitchen, waiting for the beer distributor, when the ghost touched my arm. Another time, it gently patted my posterior. And then when I was 13 I became interested in chemistry. I was very excited when I realized that chemists could convert certain substances into other substances with quite different properties….Hydrogen and oxygen gases forming water.  So ever since then, I have spent much of my time trying to better understand chemistry. And this means really to understand the World, the nature of the Universe.
