I was born in Romania during the War World II. There I lived through the communist ruling and the Marxist redesign of moral values. Those changes were supposed to set all citizens on the road to fulfillment. For lack of choices, I followed that road, and I became a successful dentist. My professional clout translated into some financial advancement, which helped me realize that what I truly needed was of a different nature: love, pride, wisdom, knowledge, none of which communism could offer. The unavoidable consequence was my dissidence and my immigration to the West. Settled in the United States, I went through a long process of purging the fl awed mentality acquired while in communism. In the end, I found that he answer to my struggle is back in Romania where all started.
