“I am a very rational person”, Daniel said. “But at the same time, I do believe that things must happen the way they happen. Sometimes, it is exactly this which leads to things becoming the way they ought to. This believe leads to me not regretting anything. Everything has its reasons and sense.”

"Can you give me an example?", I asked. “Well, I’m just thinking of this very odd situation… just today, I saw there was a particular bamboo

plant on promotion in a supermarket, and my colleague asked me whether she should get one for me as well since she was going there… and I was like, no, no worries, if I am free tonight I will go to the supermarket anyways. But I wasn’t and so I didn’t get the plant”, he laughed.

“But, of course, there are also bigger examples. My love relationship is one.” He smiled as his partner. “Had I not gone through so many tough relationships before her, I probably would not have met her and probably would not be able to sustain such a good relationship with her.” “All in all”, he summarised, “this believe made me quite relaxed in life.”

His favourite colour is turquoise blue. Daniel's smallest is inspired by a river flowing, carrying with it bits and pieces of gold, symbolising the way life goes. There is a rock in the river, resembling the rock in smallest no. 68. The water washed over it, the rock seems to be hostile, black. But the more the water washes over it, the more we see that there is gold underneath. It symbolises the fate in going with the flow of life, trusting fate, and being rewarded by life itself for this trust.
