Anen is a great scholar of philosophy and religion, fascinated by the great questions of existence. He also reads the science in connection or in opposition to these theories voraciously and is both a fervent believer and a great skeptic. Much of his theology and indeed, his 'need' for some purpose, some guiding hand, is motivated by his fear of there ''not'' being anything beyond the material. At the same time he is a profoundly rational and skeptical, but not cynical person, not closed off to the ideas of Gods and so called 'magical thinking' but doesn't see them in line with his own experience. He struggles with these conflicting convictions constantly, but is no longer silently wrenching himself over it. Or is he? | Anen is a great scholar of philosophy and religion, fascinated by the great questions of existence.

Anen is a bit of a priest when it comes to his convictions. He is quick to forgive, almost making it look easy, and preaches compassion, tolerance and restraint, though not to the point of pacification or inaction. Anen does believe in the utilitarian nature of violence, but not in a way that numbs one to the potential pain and suffering such violence might cause on both sides. Violence may be necessary but it must not be used as an excuse, and must be sought after all other options have been completely explored and exhausted, or when there is no other tangible alternative. He full heartedly believes that one must always face the consequences of their actions and never try and rationalize their mistakes and hard choices away. Anen believes that is the only way to ensure personal growth. | Anen is a bit of a priest when it comes to his convictions.
