The author has documented his final version of conclusions that are in congruence with each other and can be integrated into a philosophy of life for humans, arising from his ideas, opinions, values, priorities and virtues he has developed based on his investigations of experiences throughout his encumbered life.
He believes that these together build a system of measuring tools in the form of strong inner feelings in a human's intellectual book of rules that every human uses to make decisions at any point in his life. He also believes that one's tormenting experiences are not all that bad in transforming human intelligence into wisdom in a wide range of engagements in one's life. "A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." - Albert Einstein
