Proudhon,  Spencer,  Tolstoy,  Einstein,  Karl  Jaspers  …In  them
        and  in  many  other  humanists  we  feel  the pulsating of thoughts

        about life as it should be, even though difficulties and suffering
        are almost human fate. However, Gicevski points out that these

        difficulties are not unavoidable pattern of human existence, and

        rather  than  a  hopeless  reality,  they  are  more  of  a  reflection  of
        human illusions and blunders.


        In his book Wholeness, Gicevski elaborates on the solutions from
        his  own  life  experience,  presented  in  the  first  two  books  The

        Path.  He  claims  that  it  is  not  necessary  for  people  to  suffer

        except as victims of demagoguery, bad participants in the social
        competitions in negativities, and as misguided seekers of riches,

        unattainable possessions, false hopes and expectations. In this

        sense, Gicevski points out that anticipated happiness is not to be
        found  in  that  negative  direction,  but  only  in  the  general  human

        achievements  of  ethics  and  goodness  within  the  framework  of
        universal humanity.


        That  is  why,  as  arguments,  the  ideas  of  a  number  of  great
        philosophers are brought together, making this book a treasure

        chest of most noble thoughts and visions of magnificent thinkers.
        Most  of  them  are from  the  Antiquity,  where  deliberations  about

        humanity  had  particular  weight,  because  they  connected  the

        knowledge of nature with the awareness of human destiny. The
