Instead of a biography

Human nature has always fascinated me. Surprised and amazed. Shocked and horrified. Impressed and made me laugh.
Why does someone do what they do? How did they become the way they are? In what aspects of their life are life lessons learned and unlearned, past experience and self-improvement evident? Does the environment shape them and how much? Or the greatest influence is themselves and how they want to be? How does he choose his lifestyle?
To what extent are the decisions theirs, dictated by the needs of their personality and their beliefs, and to what extent are they the result of an accumulation of ideas and perceptions, the influence of external factors?
Do we decide at every moment what will happen and under wha

Quotes by Iva Dimitrova  (?)

“But money has a peculiar nature. It can buy objects and souls, but it can also change them. It dulls emotions. Then, with the methodical and disciplined way in which it is accumulated, it severs every tie of its possessor to the spiritual world, in whose name sometimes their furious pursuit initially sparked. Ultimately, the hunting and cornering, with the ferocity and determination of a bewildered frenzy, disrupts the centre, blurs perceptions, erases the outlines of values, and extracts meaning—both from the pursued and the pursuer. Money loses its purpose. Its function. It no longer serves him, and he forgets to serve himself with it, sinking into self-loathing. The only nature that money eventually retains, and which he attributes to it, because he remembers nothing else, is accumulation. This is the very end: of the humanity in him and the life he was given.”
Iva Dimitrova, I Didn't Mean to, But...

“Whatever I tell you, you'll still look for them," Peter said, at which Kaloyan smirked, shaking his head. “A person always seeks the most important answers about themselves as close to the source as possible.”
