About the author

Lumír I. M. Manna

I write under the pen name Lumír I. M. Manna. It is not a name drawn from stories or legends, but one rooted in my deepest memories. It carries the light of my father, Ľubomír (Lumír), and the quiet grace of my mother, Marianna (Manna) — a symbol from my childhood that naturally found its way into my writing.

This website is my attempt to focus on what modern media so often overlooks: reflection on the fundamental questions of human existence. After all, is there anything more vital than seeking and finding truth? Without it, we often act against our own good and bring harm upon ourselves.

The essays published here make no claim to objective truth. They offer my personal perspective and attempt to articulate principles I hold dear. Their purpose is to spark questions, encourage the search for answers, and deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world within the context of contemporary civilization.

My worldview and understanding of humanity have been shaped over time by life experiences, meaningful encounters, and books on history, philosophy, psychology, and questions of meaning and faith. My own spiritual journey has also played a quiet but essential role. These texts are not interpretations of any specific doctrine or book; they are simply an expression of my inner world and my ongoing search for answers.

The English version of www.questionmarks.me is a translation of the original Slovak website www.otazniky.sk, and therefore the texts are an approximate rendering of the Slovak original.
