    About this ebook

    Life itself wants to live. All knowledge could be packed into a pyramid, where at the tip, only one word is present: life.

    The word "life" by itself does not have enough meaning, and its definition does not give all the necessary information about its various types of existence.

    Humanity has an abundance of knowledge, and yet we can detect that any doing or thinking can, in the end, be reduced to "life." Therefore, we have a hierarchy of importance.


    Life will probably only be completely understood once all information has been collected, then evaluated, and associated - an impossible task, due to continuous creation of new knowledge and discoveries, and changes in perspectives, which require information to be evaluated and associated again. Perhaps a few main points will suffice to have orientation in life, and any knowledge regarding these main points can be expanded or replaced without changing the quality in understanding life significantly.

    My Philosophy provides a few main points that are listed in the pyramid of knowledge directly below "life." The brief corollaries in My Philosophy may not be understood right away, and are the basis for the book Philosophy of Life, where life is addressed in more detail. It is like life itself, which can only be understood by having accumulated large amounts of information and personal experiences. The reader of My Philosophy will probably gain a deeper insight after having read Philosophy of Life and will therefore be able to compare and evaluate his personal experiences.

    Wolfgang Fries

    Es war ein Leben auf der Suche nach Antworten. Es fehlte einfach alles: Es gab keinen wirklichen Anfang, wo man Antworten hätte finden können, somit konnte man keine präzise Frage stellen, um eine präzise Antwort zu bekommen. Es gab viele verwirrende und widersprüchliche Informationen und keine Richtung, um die Informationen auszuwerten und zuordnen zu können. Es gab keine Grundlagen, keinen wirklichen Bezugspunkt, um tatsächliches Verstehen zu ermöglichen. Was ist nun das Leben, und wo führt es hin? Mal mehr intensiv, mal weniger intensiv verfolgte der Autor diese Frage, aber sie blieb immer im Gedächtnis. Das Resultat ist dieses Buch, in dem sich der Autor die Antworten auf seine Fragen erarbeitete. Was gibt es interessanteres an einer Person, als zu wissen, was sie weiß, die Gedankengänge der Person teilen zu können? So charakterisiert sich der Autor: an dem, wie er handelt, an dem was er geschrieben hat.

      My Philosophy - Wolfgang Fries

      Dedication

      I dedicate this book to those individuals who perceive and think, in order that they may continue to observe and share their conclusions with others. Only the individual who observes in detail will reach exact conclusions when he has an uncluttered mind.

      It was always the ideas that determined the advancement and welfare of the human being, never raw violence or war.

      Acknowledgements

      I wish to thank

      My sister,

      Dr. Diana Pengitore, ND, editor, and American Translator Association (ATA) member for her expert translation from German to English.

      My brother-in-law,

      Dr. Frank Pengitore, Ed.D., for his editorial expertise.

      Important note to the reader:

      Take great care in reading this text in order not to skip words that you do not understand. If you do not understand a sentence or text, it is because there is a word or words that you did not understand, or for which you have a false definition. Certain words are explained by foot notes; however, they are just the definitions of the words as they are used in the corresponding sentence. Words often have many definitions and to reach a complete understanding of a word, it is recommended that you consult a good dictionary.

      My Philosophy is the first book in a five-part series from the book Philosophy of Life - The Book of Basics. This complete series is available in German. The remaining four books (Learning how to Learn, Learning
