Living simply but well, I love learning and enjoy most things creative. I delight in attending an interesting lecture or a seminar as much as going to a concert, dining out with some friends or, of course, being in the outdoors. My hobbies include literature, music, the cinema, theater and the arts.

I find it very exciting to see a steadily growing number of people becoming conscious of their health - including mental and physical fitness. Not only does it change their outer appearance for the better, but healing their illnesses make them happier and gives them an 'inner glow'.

Going vegan (cutting out meat, eggs and dairy products from my diet) has been absolutely one of the best decisions Ive ever made in my life. I truly believe that a diet rich in fresh raw fruits and vegetables is right for everyone. As a member of "Abakus Naturkost", which is one of our local health food coops, I am eating within the parameters of my ethical values and do feel very committed to people in the health and nutrition area. Ever since I discovered Arshavir Ter Hovannessian's book "Raw Eating", I'm like a feisty terrier to a mailman's leg.

One's personality is the most attractive part to me. I love to laugh and appreciate a good sense of humor in others. Although I try to be as open minded as possible, I carefully select my closest friends and I'm definetely not looking for people who just want to bolster the number of acquaintances they have.

My "special passion" is exciting discussion and I'm a member to several organizations. I think myself a good listener who can talk about politics and current affairs without getting into an argument. Along my way, I've learned lots about the importance of good communication, about sincere friendships and a positive attitude towards life and living. In fact, life returns what you put into it!

Like to read very much and constantly improve myself. Though I rather describe myself as a stay-at-home hermit who enjoys the solitude of his surroundings, I truly like some challenges in my life as well as new experiences and I appreciate to be in touch with other open minded people who've got both, some interesting prospects and also a great drive! Yes, I have learned lots from people of all walks of life.

Think about the circumstances which prompted us to reach a goal. Our relationships with others are very important. None of us can truly say that our success in life was achieved by ourselves alone. I understand how important people who pass through one's life really are.

To develop kindness, sincerity, a genuine interest in others, empathy, discipline, compassion, coherence, tolerance, caring, the ability to give and to receive, common sense, sensitivity, consideration, frugality, loyalty, stability and a sense of responsibility is about the true joys in this life, that I believe.

While interests needn't to be cloned, values should be shared. I'd like to hear from people from all over the globe to exchange some thought, experience, belief or whatever might be of interest to you. Why not give it a try?

Sincerely for a healthier world,
Andre Bessler
