About

If I were to die today, my epitaph would say:

“Curiosity got the best of me.”

I cannot help but be fascinated by all things. But of all things, one thing fascinates me the most … human nature.

I have spent my entire life trying to understand the nature of myself and others. In my journey, I have explored the depths of emotion through the expression of art and music and examined the nature of thought and behavior through the lens of philosophy, psychology, and science. However, human nature is an illusive and mysterious thing as the more answers I uncover the more questions I have. Despite this, I am unwavered in my pursuit to understand what influences our decisions and our perceptions—what motivates and inspires us.

I see now that this journey is intended to last a lifetime. I only hope that it is not curiosity that kills us, but that it is that sense of wonder that keeps us alive and young.

My name is Patrick John Eddy, and I welcome you to Purespective.
