    About this ebook

    The book, through a series of stories, describes some events of my life, which caused or could have caused, considerable damage to my well-being.

    It should be clear to all of us, that we have very limited control over our lives, therefore, we ought to live our lives to the fullest, without extreme preoccupations.

    This is a good piece of advice that I myself, have not always followed.

    What a shame!
